can this be achieved with zenphoto?

BruceLee

Hi,

today I found zenphoto during a research for a project. Thanks for developing this great product.
I would like to know if all this can be achieved with zenphoto standalone (without wordpress, etc.).

-Navigation Menu linking to galleries and these "static" pages: contact, imprint, about me.

-a password+username protected download section for each client where the customer must login and can download only his associated files and not be able to do anything else (except the public browsing).

Which template/theme would be the best to achieve this by editing it? If I understand zenpage correctly this would create the static pages and menu manager the links, right?
The documentation seems not to cover this features in detail!?

Thank you for your help. Any advice is appreciated.
Best
BruceLee

Yes, there are several ways to do this. THere is the menu manager and there are individual menu functions for each time (as there are pages, new categories, albums).

-a password+username protected download section for each client where the customer must login and can download only his associated files and not be able to do anything else (except the public browsing).

This is possible but will require some theme work. You should have some understanding of PHP if you want to start this.

Please review the user rights tutorial on our user guide. Then you find some hints how to do this here:

Also search the functions documentation. I think the best theme for a start would be the Zenpage theme.

Thank you. I will check everything you mentioned.
BTW: this would be a great feature in zenphoto since photographs tend to this all the time.

Feature requests should be recorded on the ticket system else they will get forgotten.

There is a "album zip" capability that can be added to a theme. I am not sure this exactly meets your needs, though. You might need to do some specific coding to limit it to the album "owners".

see the `printAlbumZip()` function and the option `enable persistent archives`. The function would normally allow anyone who can view the album to download the zip of it. Beware: Processing of large albums may excede the memory limits of your installation.

Also available of course is the download of the individual image from the image page.

Regarding the login area it is not really that hard to add a sort of client login area that for a theme. The post I liked to tells all and I did this myself before as well. IMHO no real need for an direct feature for this.
