Releases for Image Gallery Access

This is RC1 of Image Gallery Access for Drupal 6.

IGA is well-tested and a few remaining bugs in BETA3 have been fixed. The one new feature is hiding the Image galleries menu item for users that don't have access to any galleries. This needs to be tested on the 'classic' (= non-Views) galleries as well as on the 'Views' galleries. On the latter, IGA also takes care of creating the menu item in the first place. Please provide feedback (both good and bad!) in the issues queue. See #365936-8: RC1 for D6 - [Image Gallery Access] for details.

Image Gallery Access RC1 requires ACL 6.x-1.0+ and Image 6.x-1.0-beta3+!

Changes since BETA3:
Bugs fixed:
- #616812: Template values for new galleries were not saved.
- #612678: Fix broken batch update operation.
- Don't try to initialize {iga} table if installed at the same time as the image module.
- #493044: Fix missing initialization of the {image_gallery_access} table during installation.
Enhancements:
- #543576: Hide the 'Image galleries' menu item for users that can't see any galleries (and make it appear in the first place for the views version of image_gallery.module).

This is BETA2 of Image Gallery Access for Drupal 6.

We do not recommend installing it on a production site, but we encourage you to test it and provide feedback (both good and bad!) in the issues queue. See #365936-6: RC1 for D6 - [Image Gallery Access] for details.

You must update to ACL 6.x-1.0 before installing Image Gallery Access BETA2!

Note: On 2009-08-08 two changes have been committed to Image 6.x-1.x-dev that break BETA2!
This here is the last version of IGA that works with Image versions prior 2009-08-08 (up to their 6.x-1.0-alpha5).
If you have a later Image version, BETA2 will not work correctly: please use the current 6.x-1.x-dev instead!

Changes since BETA1:
Bugs fixed:
- Cast to VARCHAR rather than to CHAR for pgsql.
- Avoid an E_NOTICE.
- #472494: check_plain() the role names.
Enhancements:
- Improve information about troubleshooting and avoiding conflicts with Content Access.
- Minor refactoring to stay in synch with Forum Access.
- Disable checkboxes for roles that have no or full access anyway.
- #213957: Implement the ability to use the settings of an existing gallery as a template.
- Provide a choice of how/when to update the {node_access} table and only do it if necessary.
- Tune presentation of configuration information.

This is the development snapshot of Image Gallery Access for Drupal 6.

See CHANGELOG.txt for the complete Change Log including all changes since the latest recommended release.

Image Gallery Access requires the current ACL module (and the current Image module, of course).

Note: The devel_node_access (DNA) module, which is part of the Devel module, provides an in-depth view into the inner workings of node access, especially if you enable its debug mode at admin/settings/devel#edit-devel-node-access-debug-mode and its second block. This is a big help for understanding the forces that control access to any given node.

Note the Drupal core and Image module issues listed on the Image Gallery Access front page, which are outside the scope of Image Gallery Access. Help resolve these issues to make Image Gallery Access perform even better!

Enhancements:
- Implement new hook_node_access_explain().
- Remove deprecated db_num_rows() call; see http://drupal.org/node/163191.
Bugs fixed:
- Don't disturb the _taxonomy_term_select structure (was an incompatibility with og_forum!).
- Avoid generating a watchdog warning when saving an image with no gallery selected.
- Fix image_gallery_access_node_access_records() and add caching.
- Remove install() and uninstall() messages.

Image Gallery Access requires the current ACL module, version 5.x-1.5 or later.
