How to use Node Gallery Access

The latest version of Node Gallery Access does a few different things.

The first is an option that isn't turned off or on, it's just there. Once installed, this module will automatically cascade any node access module's settings on the gallery down to the images. My personal favorite is to use content_access and acl. Download both, enable both, then visit the node_gallery_images content type. Visit the access control tab, and disable all access to the content type. Don't worry, NGA will do the access controls. Now, go to the node_gallery_galleries content type, and set whatever settings you want there. I also recommend setting "Enable per content node access control settings", so that you can allow certain users access to certain galleries. After rebuilding permissions, everything should "just work". Whomever can view/update/delete a gallery can do the same on it's images. I highly recommend the node access related blocks supplied by the devel module when debugging.

The second feature is the password protection feature. This is the same as it's always been. On the edit tab of a gallery, check the password box, and type in a password. Note that you have to allow anonymous view access to the gallery for the password to work properly.

The third feature is new, and piggy-backs on the password feature. Once you enable a password on a gallery, when the owner views the gallery there will be a "Link to this" link. By clicking on this, you get a URL that when clicked will act as if the gallery password has been entered. If you change the password, all previous links will be rendered invalid. This is a great way to share access without sharing passwords.

I'm sure there's more, but I just wanted to get this out there for some testing. If you find bugs, please file new issues in the queue.
