This is a wonderful application and does a lot of what I am needing. I am working on an education based application and I need to have separate albums per school, and I need to allow a parent to register, select the school their child is in, then have the ability to upload items to one of the albums (in various categories) underneath that schools album. I don't want them to be able to view all the entries in those albums (only the admin for that school should be able to view everything), just upload access. Do you think I may be able to modify this script to accomplish this? I have done a lot of programming in Asp.Net 2.0 and C#, not very much using MVC, but learning. Thanks for any direction you can offer.

You can enable self registration and turn on user albums. That lets people create their own accounts and automatically get a private album they can upload to.

I don't know how you would do the "let them select the school" part, since obviously GSP has no knowledge of that. That part you'll have to code yourself.

The "schools" would be the top level albums. I was thinking it might not take too much to edit the code to allow them to select from the top level albums during registration and then create the user album under that top level. What do you think?

I don't know. The architecture depends on the idea that each gallery has one album that serves as the user albums' container. Changing that could open a can of worms. Maybe you can do something where each school is a gallery that is accessed via a specified URL (schoolA.aspx, schoolB.aspx, etc). Then you write a separate page that helps them get to the right destination. Read more about the gallery concept in the Admin Guide.

I don't fully understand your requirements so I may be way off base...
