Description
any plans to port this module to D6 ?
#1
That would be great, any news?
#2
Yes, this would be wonderful to have. What's the latest? :)
*loads up Coder to take a peek*
#3
i've run the module through coder (on the minor setting - to catch all minor, warning and critical level items), and have updated it to run in a D6 setting. It loads, sets up the appropriate tables in mySQL, etc. but I cant find an interface for it.
i'm going to load up a D5 site, along with OG and the v5 version of this module to see what i SHOULD see on the D6 site.
more soon... hopefully... :)

Well, my efforts proved fruitless... however, I decided to simply try creating a new OG gallery content type, and see what happened...
sure enough, it worked like a charm right out of the box... :)
im not sure what functionality im missing going this direction, but i can create a new group, and with a new menu option "Create Photo Gallery", i can upload pictures that are only accessible to the group in question...
if anyone is interested, i can provide more details on how i got this to work (it was painfully simple with Views)...

I am in a desperate need for a photo gallery for my groups, can anyone suggest any module for Drupal 6 version that I can use to provide my groups with their own photo gallery.

Sorry, I completely forgot to post my steps here!!
Like I said, its really just a simple custom content type, but it works for my situation. I simply:
1) added a new content type
2) gave the content type a name "Group gallery"
3) gave the content type a type "group_gallery"
4) entered a brief description
5) under submission form settings, I entered a title, cleared the body field and entered a brief explanation
6) under organic groups, I selected Standard group post
7) I disabled comments
8) once the content type was created, I went to manage fields
9) I added a new field with the label "Image" and field name "field_image"
10) data type was File ==> Image
11) the settings for the image can be tweaked to your liking, but I left mine at most of the defaults, set the number of values to 10 (10 images per gallery), and the description field to "enabled".
hope that helps!

Subscribing too... if I find how... :P

Thanks for stepping through setting up the content type. Any advice on setting up the gallery in Views for the groups?
thanks again.

The method used by this module (combining Taxonomy and Organic Groups access control) is just too unwieldy to support. I've created a new module, Views Gallery (and Views Gallery OG), that uses nodes as galleries and works much better. That will be the D6 solution. See notes on the project page.
