I really love your image gallery and I am using it on the website where I post images of my kids (for family & friends).

I would like the site to be password protected and users to be able to request a username/password. I am now doing this with an external PHP script, which authenticates the users and then lets them continue to the correct page. This is of course not completely hacker-proof.

As there already is a user section in ImageVue, I would love to see that people could register themself via the script and that I could "approve" the users and allow them access to certain photo folders.

We already have plans to add a "password" feature to make gallery folders password protected. Not sure about any separate "registration" page though ... Can ´t you just set a password for a specific page and provide this password to your user?

Problem is, not all these people are good with computers, they have an easier time to remember their own password than another password supplied by us

.

If it is not possible, I will try to just write a script that edits the users file when a new user is approved. Is the password stored as MD5 in that file?

Well, it ´s not integrated yet, so I can ´t answer that yet. But how are you going to have it? A global link on the gallery page "apply for password here"? And then a page where they "sign up" for a password? To what folders do they get access?

You can hack a script which will edit /imagevue/config/users.php, the structure is quite obvious and the passwords are stored as sha1 or md5 if sha1 is not supported (old php).
