Image gallery questions
Hello Kentico team.
Unfortunately my last questions went unanswered, please help if you can.

First question
We're using a lightbox gallery several times in our web.
The lightbox galleries source are cms.file docs created under the gallery.
Now I see that the users are gonna upload a lot of photos to these galleries and they're growing fast.
Could this lead to any problems?
Should I use another approach to building these galleries?

Second question
Which security configuration should be used for the gallery pages if I don't want users to edit or delete the site but just to create new cms.file types under the document?

Hope you're gonna help me this time.
Thanks.

RE:Image gallery questions
Hello,

If you are anticipating a lot of files please consider using media libraries as the content is saved in the file system and not in the database.
You can set up permissions in CMSSiteManager / Administration / Roles / <your role> / Permission for: Document type / File. For more information on the permissions please check documentation.

Best regards,
Boris Pocatko
