Is it possible to create a separate login page and gallery page...

[tina_n]

I would like to have my gallery appear with no login, search or other options (ie no buttons at the top, just the photos and descriptions). However obviously then I need a page to go to that *I* can log in and upload photos and edit galleries. Can anyone give me some tips on how to do this?

I thought about using an album page as my "main" gallery page (linked to from my website) and eliminating all the buttons from the template for it. Then I could use sub-albums withing that main album. I would go to the main gallery page to log in and change stuff. ANyone know if that would work - and if so how does one change the layout of only one album?

You can remove the {MAIN_MENU} tag from your theme's template.html. You can then login by typing in the link to the login page directly into your browser.

Ohh that may work - then when I log on as admin I wuld see the buttons still? I just installed this and I am still gettng oriented - don't know what goes where!

You'd still get the admin menu. If you want the normal menu to be visible to admin only, then put the {MAIN_MENU} tag back in place and change theme.php

Code Select Expand

'{MAIN_MENU}' => theme_main_menu(),

to

Code Select Expand

'{MAIN_MENU}' => USER_IS_ADMIN ? theme_main_menu() : '',
