hi,

i'd installed, watched the tutorial video and read all posts, but nothing here is telling me whether view_gallery is what i am looking for.

i'm trying to let my users be able to create their own gallery, and set it whether to share or not with their Organic Group(s).

to my understanding, when a user create a public gallery, it will not only let other users view, but to also upload pictures into it.

so, how do i set it, to make gallery to be set as the user's own gallery and to disallow other users upload pictures into it?

today, I tried to meddled around with this module again.. and yet I am still unsure about what can it do.

what I'm trying to do is just to let my users to be able to create their own personal gallery and individual group to have their at least 1 gallery.

i believe, there's a way for me to set this module to be more detailed. so a user could only upload photos to their own gallery, or if they're in that particular group. since there's Organic Groups Views Gallery.

but i couldn't find any way to do that.

there may be better ways, but this is what I ended up doing:
1) define a "my galleries" auxiliary node view, filtering by nodetype (gallery) and user (current)
2) in the gallery image content type (referenced gallery field, Advanced settings) pick "my galleries" as the set of nodes that can be referenced

@skizzo. thanks for sharing that!

now i wonder how is it possible to have this module to be able to let users to some bulk actions? especially deleting images at once in 1 folder.

another thing is to move from a gallery to another.

any idea?

Re deleting images at once...
maybe it can be done via vbo

Re: 1) define a "my galleries" auxiliary node view, filtering by nodetype (gallery) and user (current)

Filtering by current user will not allow site moderators to assign gallery to other users photos. On editing other user's photo a moderator will receive his (moderator's) own galleries for reference and not user galleries.

@Igal. I think he mean it by Adding a new Views.

sorry, for my last post. i don't have any problems with Bulk deleting using VBO. but the moving of nodes from one gallery to another, and Bulk updating of Titles or descriptions.

I wonder, when uploading images using image_fupload.module, the module will direct user to a page where they can edit each individual Nodes at once. How can I bring that page back when editing the gallery?

This is a hodge podge of unrelated issues. If there are specific feature requests, create a new issue for them (only one to an issue). You can restrict who can see the gallery and you can restrict who can create the image content type. But complicated things like creating a gallery for a user that won't allow anyone else to add images to it are things that would take some additional work. Again, keep this to one topic per issue.

I answered the question the best I can. Whichever things in here are feature requests need new issues.

How much work would this feature require? I'd love to have it added.
Thanks!

Re-opening this and changing it to a feature request. (Apologies if this is the wrong way to do it... I saw that it had automatically closed due to no additional activity and that it was a support request when it really should have been a feature request.)

KarenS: I've created a new feature request and tried to outline what is needed.

Please contact me directly. I'm willing to donate funds to get this feature implemented. Hopefully, it won't be too hard to accomplish.

Thanks!

For a simple solution to this issue that does not require any modifications to the module, see: http://drupal.org/node/793750#comment-2972228 :-)

This is what I did in #3. One problem that I found is that then even user 1 can't delete an image create by user X. Workaround: user 1 creates a Gallery just for the purpose of reassigning the image to it, then delete the image.

Marking this issue fixed again because there is another, cleaner, issue about the feature request. We don't need duplicate issues about this.
