Would it be possible to have multiple admin users?

Thanks

    Yes, it's pretty possible, but in that case I would start getting into user permissions or rights, and other complicated things like that. zenphoto is meant as a single-user gallery, and I think it'll stay that way for a while.

    Just out of curiosity, why exactly do you want multiple users? Maybe we can get what you want another way.

    Thanks for the reply. If you see the other (wp cookies) thread, I offer an alternative.

    I see what you mean about the users. Essentially, what you actually want is for multiple users to be able to upload photos and put in titles/descriptions etc. If you can elaborate on the actual task you want to accoplish, I'd love that. Focus on the end result in a general sense.

    Sorry for being vague. Yes, I would like a select group of people to be able to upload and add titles/descriptions. What is the best way you think that I should go about doing this? I am using Textpattern as my main CMS, and the people with admin access to TXP would probably be the same people who should get access to ZP (if that helps at all).

    Thanks a lot

    Anybody know?

    Your best bet is to replace the logic in zp_auth.php with the Textpattern login logic. Just make sure the $_zp_loggedin variable is set correctly based on that.

    You could also use the ZP->WP example that i posted and set the login such that if $txpuserlevel > xyz, then apply the ZP login function as well.

    If anyone has any experience of using Vanilla's auth system for setting posting/editing pictures/comments in ZenPhoto I'd love to hear from them. I really want to be able to use ZenPhoto along with Vanilla but want to enable a certain group of users to post photos and edit captions/comments, and allow ALL users to comment on photos. All this without having to log in again or type any extra details.

    I've also posted this on the Vanilla community forums to see if anyone there's had any luck with this.
