Where User can Upload Photos and arrange them by category(Albums) What strategy have you used? Media Librarie, a custom webpart, custom table....? I know the functionality exist for Groups.

RE:User Photo gallery

Hi,

you can use Media library where you can use on-site upload (Media libraries uploading files) or User contribution for e.g. CMS.File-s (User contribution). The difference is that the documents are in the content tree and the User contribution allows editing, deleting and workflows whilst Media library allows only uploading on the live site.

Best regards,
Helena Grulichova

RE:User Photo gallery

Hi,

you would allow users to create documents (visible in the CMS Desk - Content tree) from a live site. You could define a custom document type with document attachment field.

This way users could create let's say profile documents with images. Only the user and cms desk editor would have a possibility to edit documents, but all documents would be visible for all form a live site.

More information about user contribution module you can find in the link Helena provided you.

Best regards,
Ivana Tomanickova
