It's pretty simple what I want to do, but I don't know if it's possible. I want to give a friend an album on my gallery. I have him set up so he has full permissions on this album.

The tricky part is that I do not want his album to show up on my albums list, but I need it so that if a user that is not logged in goes to his album via a direct link, they can still view all the images in his album without having to log in.

Is this possible or am I going to have to break open my php code book :-D?

Thanks in advance

well, don't give the everybody / registered users group the permission to view this album. just give this one user the permission to view it.

That's not really what I was asking... I want everybody to view the album, but only by direct link, not from the main gallery page.

so you want a hidden album? hidden, but when accessed directly they can see it?
that's not yet available in g2, but there's a user contributed / SoC contributed module for that. only downloadable via CVS from sf.net project gallery-contrib.
