Shared Gallery Albums

[Cowboy Denny]

It sure would be nice if I could share an album (allowing others to post to the same album).

For example we may have a category called Tech then an Album called F5 and many users would like to share there F5 pictures but currently they have to create a separate album instead of all uploading to the same album.  Seem's silly.

May not be what you're looking for but you could create a sub-category in Tech called "F5" and have everyone upload directly to that sub-category.

Thanks Jim M, going to give it a shot.

It worked Jim but I still think it would be nice to be able to share albums if you chose to do so from a front-end user side since the only one that can create shareable sub-categories is the admin.

I attempted to do this when I was first structuring my gallery.  I created hundreds of categories instead of Albums, to act as communal albums.  Apparently IP.Gallery can't handle that many categories, so using categories as a substitute for albums is not a long term solution.
