Hey, just a few questions about a few different modules/features-
First, I have the image module installed, but I would like certain users (determined by a role) to be able to create image galleries. how can I go about doing this? I would think I should make a content type for it, but beyond that I am lost. I considered doing it with views, but I don't think you can make a content type create a view.
Second, I have a "news" content type that is automatically published to the front page. However, I also have created two taxonomy terms that designate the "importance" of the news article. I want the more important articles automatically stickied, but I can't set up the triggers/actions for it.
Finally, this may sound a tad strange, but I would like to limit users to joining ONE group. How would I go about doing this?

Hey Tanis, have you tried
Hey Tanis, have you tried the Gallery module for letting users create photo galleries?
For the news display on the front page, one option would be to override the frontpage View and add sort criteria to show the news nodes of "importance" first and then by your other taxonomy terms.
Hope that helps!
No I haven't tried the
No I haven't tried the gallery module, but I really don't want to have to install the gallery software. I like the image module's reliance solely on Drupal. Additionally, I am running Durpal 6, and Gallery only has a dev release for Drupal 6.
I also would rather not sort them by the taxonomy term, as the sticky option would still show up, and I could potentially have stickies inside of "stickies."
I tried the Gallery module
I tried the Gallery module today, and got nothinig but a white screen after installing it. Possibly because the only Drupal 6 version is a dev version.
Gallery can be a lot of
Gallery can be a lot of overkill / complexity. Very simple image galleries can be created with cck and imagefield (just use a multiple value imagefield). For additional functionality you can add views, lightbox2, and imagecache.

Oh yes, one more question
Oh yes, one more question about Organic Groups-
Is there a way to enable non-members of a group to contact all members of a group?
