User-specific Image Galleries?
Permalink
Let's say I wanted to create a site that allowed users to upload and manage their own photo gallery. None of the marketplace add-ons seems to have this capability, so I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction as to how to approach this issue. Ideally, there would be a group to which a user could be added to give them gallery capabilities. They could then upload images, edit associated data, place them in categories, etc. Would this be best done as a block, or is some other approach better? How would I associate a gallery with a user?
Thanks for any insights you can provide,

well it really depends, like to you want them to have access to the editbar?
Thanks for the reply, Mnkras. No, I don't want them to have access to anything CMS-like. IOW, I want to provide a custom UI for managing images. In fact, that UI already exists. It's part of a site that I would like to convert to C5, so let me back up and reframe the issue...
I have an existing PHP/MySQL web app that I want to convert to C5. This raises a couple questions in my mind:
* Would it be better to convert/move the existing DB structure to C5 or just access the existing DB using C5's DB abstraction methods? (There really isn't much data in the existing DB yet.)
* If I move the DB structure to C5, how exactly do I go about it? I mean, where does the db.xml file go? Or do I even need one? This is not something I intend to distribute; it's a very site-specific customization, so it doesn't seem a block or package is necessary. What's the "proper" C5 way of handling something like this?

I would like this capability too. Is there an update on this request?

Any progress?)
You might try searching marketplace if you haven't already done so, but I could find nothing that suits my needs. I will actually be looking more closely at this soon and will likely build my own solution.

I have also been wishing to implement something like this.
So far I have found this in the Marketplace:
http://www.concrete5.org/marketplace/addons/gallerybox/...
My only concern for my particular use is how I could edit the block to suit my needs both functionally and visually.
