Ability to have user-specific galleries

Imho it is not an image module feature, and the functionality can be achieved easily with some taxonomy manipulation in a modulette.

Yeah I agree Kopexy, This seems more like a personal_gallery / user gallery module to me. It would also need a space limit and compatible with image publish and / or image attach.

I do not use the image_attach module but image_publish needs only a few "if module_exist" fixes to handle the fine tuned taxonomy routines in the modulette. Instead of size i use node count limit and term count limit like max 50 albums(terms) and 100 images (nodes).

I would also like a full answer as to how to do this if it is already possible.

I have tried all sorts of ways...

It seems to me that user galleries are normal features of most gallery systems and it should be easy to create a view showing all images by seleced author and a teaser view that lists all image nodes by author name, providing a gallery front page with a single teaser image from each author linking to their gallery.

Sure I can create a taxonomy term with the name of each author and ask them to tag all their images with it but there are no guarantees it will work and I would need an automatic way of creating a taxonomy term for each new user name. It's quite problematic and not very elegant.

I thinnk It would be great if a more elegant solution could be built into the image.gallery module and a simple option to enable user galleries provided.

Having re-read the original post, my requirement is more simple.
Just a table view and subpage listings of images by a user. Automatically created without any manual taxonomy selection by the user.

like this :

Optional Block

List of galleries by user

Name: User A + thumnail of image by user A ----> links to ---> Gallery page with thumbnails of all images by User A

Name: User B + thumnail of image by user B ----> links to ---> Gallery page with thumbnails of all images by User B

Name: User C + thumnail of image by user C ----> links to ---> Gallery page with thumbnails of all images by User C

etc.

That's it.

Though I would also like the option of a similar sort of block which can use any field, like a cck associate node field as it's organisational criteria. e.g.

cck node type created called Projects.
cck associate node field added to image node type enabling users to assign images to any existing project type node.

Optional Block like above

List of galleries by Project

Name: Project A + thumnail of image associated to Project A
----> link to ---> Gallery page with thumbnails of all images associated to Project A

Name: Project B + thumnail of image associated to Project B
----> link to ---> Gallery page with thumbnails of all images associated to Project B

Name: Project C + thumnail of image associated to Project C
----> links to ---> Gallery page with thumbnails of all images associated to Project C

Any ideas on how to implement this would be much appreciated.
(N.B. I am still fairly new to Drupal and a PHP novice)

etc.

Sorry changed the Title of the entire thread by mistake!!

Has any progress been made on this?

Have any of you tried Image Gallery Access module for this?

This can be accomplished using: Image, Image_assist and Content_profile modules.

You create a new content type such as "user gallery" and check the box at the bottom that says "use as profile content", then you go to Create content>User gallery, where you would then use the "image_assist" function to upload and display the content in a gallery format, which will show up on the users profile page.

Looks as though it works only on Drupal 6. Has anyone tried it one 5?

Sorry, there are plenty of ways and other modules that can be (ab)used to achieve a feature like this.
