Hi all,
I am creating a site for a photographer, one thing he wants is the ability to add a private login for his clients. Does anyone know if there is something out there that will allow him to upload images for his clients.
Usually, I run with Joomla, but there is no ability to show content based on a username, no easy way anyway, was just wondering if there was something out there already, preferably open source.
Thanks

Does Slideshow Director do it?

I have used slideshow pro before, not tried director though. Looking through the specs I cannot see mention of private logins, sent an email to the developer, hopefully he/she can shed some light.
Are there any other out there, commercial is not a problem either, although I would prefer a self managed app.
Thanks

Sorry, its beyond me. Maybe QBN is not the best place to ask this sort of questions.
Waiting for some one to mention unicorn and jackass comments.

so he wants to be able to put proofs up there for his clients and give them a log in? What I do and my other photog friends is create a directory on web server called clients, then we use lightroom to put web galleries to a folder inside that one. So the link would be http://www.mydomain.com/clients/…. then they just email that link. Im sure there are web apps that can do this but this has worked out well for me and my other photog friends. Hope this makes sense.

Maybe this?

I have also used this for a client but its more for selling photos than a client log in system. It does have password protected areas though.

can password protect galleries, and users can post comments and rate photos , some hosting companies offer this installation via cPanel , manual installation is not that hard if you have done other web apps (php/myql)
- Thought the code was pretty messy on first inspection, gotta be worth a closer look.leewilson78

a half-assed solution is to use basic apache authentication and htaccess/htpsswd, then put whatever software you want up there to display the images.
- that's not a bad idea, although they would need to get back in touch with me whenever there is a new client.leewilson78

Just a follow up, slideshopro director doesn't offer the ability to set permissions on different galleries.
I am trying out coppermine at the minute, the template are terrible, code is messy too, but it does the job, guess it will be a lot of fiddling around to fit it in with the site.
