Hi Guys,
I have been meaning to get around to using CMSMS for quite sometime and have a project which I think could be prefect. There are however 2 areas that I need to make sure I can cover with CMSMS before jumping in and going for it.
One is the requirement for an Image gallery which will allow me to create a few categories with thumbnails which when clicked utalise Lightbox.js and display a larger version. These can then be expanded upon by the eventual administrator. Possible? Thoughts - Suggestions?
The other is a requirement for registration in order to access the site. We need a registration that can be approved by the site administrator (accept/reject) which when accepted activates the account and allows the user to visit the full site and have access to a My Account page for changing details input when registering. Again Possible? Thoughts - Suggestions?
Many thanks in advance for your assistance!

Re: Image Gallery and Registration Admin
I am sure CMSMS is a good solution for your upcomming project.
You can find a popular image gallery module here :
http://dev.cmsmadesimple.org/projects/album/
The javascript part is implemented with thickbox (prototype).
A module called "Frontend Users" can be used to give registered users access to password protected content see:

Re: Image Gallery and Registration Admin
Actually, you'll need the album module
and these following modules
FrontEndUsers: allows managing front end users, groups, properties, lost password and all that stuff
SelfRegistration: Allows users to register themselves
CustomContent: Allows limiting content to certain groups of frontend users
To 'approve' users, you would need to follow this procedure:
1) Create two groups (or more) in FEU... a 'pending' group, and a 'approved' group (though you can name them what you want).
2) Configure SelfReg to register users into the 'pending' group
3) Configure Selfreg to send an email to an administrator when new users register
4) Go into the frontend users module, and edit each 'pending' user's profile and move them to the 'approved' group.

Re: Image Gallery and Registration Admin
That all sounds great to me - will look into the modules. Are there any available online demos of the modules installed and working?
Many thanks for the assist
