Admin-defined keywords only?

[UK_CJ]

I am implementing Coppermine as the photo gallery for my company's website. Our customers send photos of themselves wearing our products (kilts), and we publish those photos on our website.

New and potential customers can come and see the photo galleries. This is our primary form of advertising/marketing.

With Coppermine, I want the customer to have a list of pre-defined keywords to choose from when they upload their photos. (The Keywords would be the 7 product names, colors, and the type of event they are at... like Highland Games, St. Patrick's Day Parade, etc.) I do not want the customer to enter any keywords by hand, because they could enter all kinds of weird stuff for keywords.

Is there a (relatively) easy way to change the Keywords text box to a pre-defined list of checkboxes?

(By the way: I saw there was one other message in this group that was similar, but not the same as mine.)

Thank you for your time!

Haven't looked into this in detail, but I guess you'd have to modify upload.php and change the type of the input field for the keywords from "text" to "hidden". This way, only the choice from the list is possible.
