Timed update admin system?

[leonmoomin]

I like the idea of coppermine and am considering using it for a new membership website I am working on, however there is a feature that I would really like.

As a members site, I need to provide regular weekly/twice weekly picture updates.

It would be much easier for me if I could upload via ftp, say 30 galleries and assign to each of them a date to become available to my members.  It is a bit of a pain to manually update each time, also, I am thinking of doing daily updates, that is where the feature would be really usefull.

Is that possible with coppermine?  has someone designed this sort of hack yet for coppermine?

In the spirit of keeping it simple, what if you uploaded all 30 galleries at the same time, set the albums to be hidden from everyone but admin, and then change the viewing setting when the time comes to release the albums? That way, you can set up the albums in advance, and when you're ready, you can make them viewable to the public.

Or did I misunderstand you?

I'm looking for the exact same thing for a membership site, automatic updates are great if you go on vacation or whatever and don't have to worry about site updates
