Hi,

Utilizing OG I'm building a site to serve several communities, and I'd like to offer image albums per group where:
a. each member of the group could create an albums (one or more).
b. each member of the group could upload images to his albums, and any album created by his group mate.
c. albums, and album content, are confined within the group (i.e. members of other groups cannot view it).

I tried the Acidfree album and it almost worked. I'm saying almost since all but "b" is (as far as my understanding goes) doable. I played with "can upload to any album" access control, but OG calls for fine tuning. It looks to my laymen eyes that Acidfree could benefit from additional access-control option, and the logic behind it, along the line of: "can upload to any album per organic group".

Please advise,
Thanks in advance

I've delve into, and looks like "can upload to any album" actually means "any album within the appropriate group" - which actually is very good.

On issue remain though, and that's the entire list of Acidfree albums is being populated, thus available, for the user to choose from when adding new image (or any other node for that matter). For instance, if user 1 belongs to group 1 with album 1, and user 2 belongs to group 2 with album 2, when each of the users post an image the available Acidfree albums to choose from are album 1 and album 2. Choosing "wrong" album is an option, though won't add the image into that album.

What I'm looking for is a way to limit Acidfree categories/taxonomy based on organic group, so the album list will be according to the group the user is member of.

Any ideas?
