CMS Made Simple Forums

Hello everybody.

What I need to do is as following: On a photography website, I need to upload the proofs for each client, for each photo session that that client has. Also, all these galleries should be only accessible with username/password.

I don't know how to approach this so it would work something in this way:

The page /clients should have the login form. After a user logs in, he/she should only see the albums that are corresponding to his/hers username. When an album is clicked to be redirected to a page that will show only that album. I was thinking to have a page for each album that client has.

Each client would be in a different group, so it would be easier to implement.

So if I would go with something like this:

{if
($ccuser->memberof('group1') && $page_alias=='group1-page') ||
($ccuser->memberof('group2') && $page_alias=='group2-page') ||
($ccuser->memberof('group3') && $page_alias=='group3-page') ||
($ccuser->memberof('group4') && $page_alias=='group4-page') ||
($ccuser->memberof('group5') && $page_alias=='group5-page')
}

what code should be here to show only let's say group3 if it's logged in?

{else} {FrontEndUsers nocaptcha="1"}
{else} {redirect_page page='error-page'}
{/if}


Thank you.

Simplest answer would be to have a Gallery directory for each group and then have sub-dir for each album.

So when someone is logged in you can assign the group to a variable and then call the gallery, this is easier since you only have one group per person: After calling this you would then get a directory/image list to use.

Code: Select all

{assign var="userGroups" value=$ccuser->groups()}
{Gallery dir=$userGroups.0}

I will have a gallery directory for each group, and the rest exactly as you said.

Everything makes sense for me as I read it.. it's just that I really don't know how to implement this. If there is somebody that knows this, I'd appreciate all the help.

So there's no one that know this stuff better than us, the newbies and could provide some help?

Why not a directory for each client?
Wouldn't this be similar?
GBFilePicker: create dynamic folders on the fly
With a few changes it would create a directory for each user...
Just a thought!

I'm not sure.. I'm no developer nor a programmer.
I can follow directions, but can't manage to write code from scratch.

How much would cost me to have this thing working in the way described before?

A page where the log in form is shown.
If the user logs in he/she can only view his/hers photo album/s.

Since for each user, will be a gallery folder I thought it would be easy.. for someone who know how to do it.

Thanks
