Hi all,

I have a wedding web site set up for all for all of my guests to login to in order to find wedding details, RSVP, etc. The site is protected via. htaccess and basic authentication (all users use one username and password to access the site, and everyone operates under the anon role once passed the basic authentication. i.e. no users have their own drupal account).

Now, that the wedding is over, I'd like to offer all of my guests a really simple way to upload photos that they may have taken at the wedding. I've looked at several options including AcidFree Albums, Image JUpload, Image FUpload, SWFUpload, etc. but haven't found anything that really fits the bill. Image JUpload looks really promising, but all uploads fail with a 401 auth error, which I assume is related to my htaccess password protection...

Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can achieve this sort of functionality with Drupal 6? I need this to be really easy, so even not-so-tech-savvy guests can manage to upload a folder of photos. Any advice would be sincerely appreciated.

Mike

Just a bump. Anyone have any ideas on this?

No suggestions I'm afraid but I too am interested to hear if there is a solution for this out there.

The only thing I have done in the past is this:

Install Image module and Image FUpload.
Create a gallery content type
Add a field on the Image content type with a nodereference to gallery.
Create one or many gallery nodes
Bulk upload images and select the referenced gallery once for the images you are uploading.
Create a view of the galleries with the first referenced image as the thumbnail.
For the gallery node I attach the images as a view with the gallery as an argument either using views attach or a views block.

I actually came across your question because I was looking for a better way. The image module is kind of outdated and won't have a Drupal 7 upgrade path from what I understand.

File Uploading and Managing group has some discussion of this subject.

For Drupal 7, there is only one working solution at the moment: Media Gallery
