Add to Lightbox/Favorites feature

Hello everyone, I am a Zenphoto noob. I have been doing the research and binned Gallery 2 and Coppermine after some ugly cluttered installations not to mention the horrible tables. So, I am busy working on my style sheets but I would love to add a feature to the gallery where by:

1. Users can add photos to lightbox (like a favorites feature), view which ones they have added, remove if they want.
2. Admin can then login and view which photos have been added to the lightbox for that user.

This feature is to enable my client (a photographer) to put his photos up, his customers will log-in and choose which ones they want to get printed. If anyone has done any mods or can give me an idea on where I should start on this project I would appreciate the feedback.

Thanks for you time
Lawrence

    I have been doing a little bit of searching and found some AJAX script that I may be able to inter-grate: http://www.dhtmlgoodies.com/index.html?whichScript=drag-drop-custom

    I was first a little confused I thougt you referred to the layer image popup javascript. But I see you basically want a kind of "add to cart" function. No one has done that until now. We had made some thought about using PayPal for that, since that provides an cart without having to add one to zenphoto. And we already have a feature request for a "Order prints feature" in our poll.

    If you need that feature right now, you of course can do that. I recommend that you do this as a custom function to your theme then, since otherwise you can run into trouble when updating.

    Before you try to adapt that dhtml script above, you might want to take a look at this: http://docs.jquery.com/UI/Droppables

    The jQuery libary is already included in Zenphoto by default, so this might be a little easier.
