Multi-user Zen

Sam

I really like the simplicity of zenphoto, but thought a multi-user version would be very nice to have. I looked around but couldn't find much by way of a multi-user version, so I modified the code a bit to support multiple users. You can download a tarball at http://www.creativejoos.com/ and see a working version at http://www.movemberdiaries.com/ (a little test bed site I set up).

Some of the fundamental changes:

- no more admin username/password in zp-config, authentication is now MySQL based.
- distinction between a normal user and an admin user
- new registration section of the admin.php file
- each user gets one album to upload photos to
- basic users can't delete/edit comments or change the theme
- basic users can't delete/edit anyone else's album/photo

I think that's all, off the top of my head.

I did it quite quickly, and while I think I understand how user authentication and general security works, I can't vouch that all my work is hole proof, so use at your own risk.

If it's useful let me know :-)

Awesome idea, and thank you very much for sharing but I cannot create an account on your test site. I keep getting email taken.

My bad, should be sorted now. Also, not sure if I just forgot to put the full path to the tarball, or if it got chopped, but here it is again. Re-tarballed it after the changes.

Made an account, logged in, uploaded an image, clicked view gallery...

There is no image showing up and the users list is blank.

Sam

seems ok to me?

Well thats probably because you are the admin, regular users do not get the user list or anything to see (ie: images) on the index after they have uploaded an image.

Hi, can you repost the multi-user zenphoto on the site? The one you have on seems corrupt. I'm interested to help with the development. If you can, also email me a copy to kotto_bass at yahoo dot com.
