Upload Capabilities for Gallery

[captrac]

Hello Folks!

This year marks our 20 year High School class and I was assigned to create our class website and it's coming out great, however I do need some assistance. I'm trying to create a page where my classmates can upload their own photos into our class gallery. Sort of like Yahoo groups. Does BV have that capabilitiy? If so, how would I go about configuring it?
here's the link. http://www.balboa87.org

Hi there

I am thinking you would have to give everyone a password, which may become too overwhelming, it might be better if everyone were to email their photos in a zip file to you and you do the uploading ....

You can use jalbum, found in your control panel under the fantastico icon for creating the albums, thumbnails and slideshows.

I'd recommend you remain in control, just my opinion though ....

Picasa, a free photo editing/organizing program (that I use and recommend, by the way) has a web album feature that doesn't cost anything, and has the capacity you are looking for, I think.
the download is http://picasa.google.com/
I have a family website, and use this feature so my family members can upload their photos to sahre with all of the rest of us.
Don't know if this will serve your purposes, but it might.
Good Luck

In your Fantastico, you also have Coppermine, a very featured (but also a bit complicated) gallery. It allowes for user registration: each user can register with his own username and password. The administrator can set privilleges for the members, amomg them upload.

Thanks, I ended up using the "Gallery" script in Fantastico because the other scripts were corrupted and not working properly. Gallery is a little complicated as well but it's working properly.
