View whole User-Album on (Drupal) User Profile

Hi Uhu!

Thanks for your feedback. Can you please elaborate on your points?

1. What do you mean "view the whole UserAlbum" in profiles?
2. How do you think "syncing by roles" should work? Basically Gallery 2 maintains a table that maps user ids of Drupal with the G2 ones. What means we need the same set of users in Drupal and G2.
3. What permissions do you think are required? I agree that more granular control is desired in some cases, but what exactly do you think we need extra permissions for? Could you compile a list of permissions (and possible use cases)?

Also, can you please create separate feature requests for your points. We will probably need to discuss certain aspects before a feature can/will be implemented. And arguing three different points in one thread usually results in a mess and is hard to follow.

If my Gallery2 is configured that users get an own User-Album after reg and they´re only able to add Albums and Items in there it would be nice to show the whole album on the users Profile-Page. So I didn´t need to grab the whole ?q=gallery. I just surf on the users Profile for his Media.

Ok, I see where this is heading! At the moment I'm inclined to say that this wont work "by design", but thats not necessarily true. The D6 version of gallery module (in contrast to the D5 module) allows modules to alter the init parameters of G2. I just wrote a GalleryOG module that allows OrganicGroups to have individual galleries (not publically available yet), in principle we could apply the same strategy to UserAlbums as well. Thats basically a UI problem IMO.
Right now the GalleryProfile module allows you to embed a Image-(Grid-)Block into user profile pages. What you suggest serves a completely different purpose as you want to administer your UserAlbum directly through the profiles pages. I think that is overkill for most (or at least many) users. So we should have both options available in GalleryProfile.
This gets even more difficult if you think of image galleries that are embedded into a Panel. The new advanced_profile module (http://drupal.org/project/advanced_profile) for example provides a sophisticated profile page (similar to Facebook, etc.) based on Panels. I already wrote some stub code (Panels does not exist for D6 yet) to expose G2 profiles features to Panels.

P.S. "Assigned" to an issue means that you are working on a solution (a patch or something ...).
