Hello Roger,

I don't know if you ever played with coppermine-gallery.net
but they have a very sweet feature that allows private galleries. In the admin area you just click on a gallery and there is a check box if you want to have this gallery private or not and below there is a password field where you as admin type in the password for all the users that will be able to access the gallery.

When someone access the gallery page it shows just an image saying" PRIVATE" and when you click on it it shows you the password field where the authorized user types in the pass so it can access the gallery. If you could make the password field like ajax based so the page just greys out and a popup window shows where you type in the password it would be great. I am starting wit .NET and must say it is a great stuff.

Thanks,
Henryk

it is just the password that was specified by the gallery admin for all users that should have access.
