    Hi I’m looking for a bit of EE archtiectural advice!

    I’m setting up a gallery for client photo-shoots with a few twists involving password access. The gallery will be a weblog, with images stored using Mark Huot’s file module. The file module will be set to multiple. So each photo-shoot will be one entry, with several images in the file module.

    The spec is:

    * Clients have a username and password
    * Clients can log in, and see a list of weblog entries (photo-shoots)
    * Each entry must be assigned to ONE client, and can only be seen by that client
    * The control panel must be as simple as possible

    I’m having trouble working out how to restrict access to individual weblog entries. Anyone have any good suggestions?

    Thanks

    Doing it in EE was going to be too complicated so I turned to coding it in PHP instead.

    I found that using a custom field with LG’s memberlist extension, and then some conditionals in the templates comparing the logged_id member_id to the value of that field, that I could restrict access to certain entries however.

    That may help you.

    Also the rather complicated EE Control Panel threw it for me. My client needed a really ultra-basic solution and would have been put off with the EE CP.
