ALPHA: photos.case.edu - The Case Photo Gallery
I *just* got this demo up, but start trying it out.
The site will eventually switch over to photos.case.edu. I repeat, the site is ALPHA...things *will* break and be deleted! Just play with it and post your comments!
I cannot claim to have made much of anything!
The site core is powered by PHP Gallery
The LDAP integration was nearly all provided by this excellent HOWTO on LDAP with Gallery 1.5. I had to fill in the blanks and make some small changes to suit Case's ldap.
Apache Webserver and Gentoo Linux rock my world.

You have to login twice (with your CWRUnetID and password) the first time. I will fix this soon -- but this is because it creates your account the first time.

Eventually, it will automatically create your initial gallery. Your gallery will be located at photos.case.edu/[CWRUnetid]
From there, you will be able to make as many sub-albums as you wish!
Groups will soon be able to request group accounts that don't require a CWRUnetID/psasword.

Gallery2 is much better for a multiple user environment. It has hooks to snap into the user registration phase. It also has storage quotas on a per-user basis.

i was less than impressed with the early versions of gallery2...but it's probably time to take second glance. the storage quotas would be nice...
now that i'm comfortable using php+ldap...i'll take a look into it.
