Hi,

I am wanting to somehow create an advanced User Albums module with the following features:

1) Users must choose a parent-album when registering - and this is where their sub-album will be created.

2) Limit the number of pictures that a user can upload into their album

3) Force a watermark and max image size to their uploads

4) Prevent users from changing the album background colours/theme.

5) Name of album will be "<username>'s Album" - they cannot change it.

6) Maybe moderation of all their uploads.

Has anyone developed such a thing, or do you think this would be easily acheivable?

Kim

> 2) Limit the number of pictures that a user can upload into their album

sounds like a feature that should rather be in the quota or in a separate module.

> 3) Force a watermark and max image size to their uploads

hopefully by reusing existing modules (sizelimit, watermark)

> 4) Prevent users from changing the album background colours/theme.
> 5) Name of album will be "<username>'s Album" - they cannot change it.

not sure how you want to achieve that with a module.
maybe you can create a dumbed down album/item edit screen and manually remove the original item edit files from g2.

> 6) Maybe moderation of all their uploads.

i haven't tried it yet, but there's a user-contributed moderation module.
