I would like it to have some > authentication, and of course be pretty :-). I would be interested as well in a solution to this. Currently, I use SimpleViewer (which is not F/OSS unfortunately) [http://www.simpleviewer.net/simpleviewer/]. Though, you have to get an older version. The current free version, while more feature-rich, also has some deliberate limitations (including gallery size) to "encourage" you to purchase the Pro version. I believe anything below 2.0 is fine. For security and authentication, I had to roll my own. It's a fairly simple PHP script. Authentication is done over SSL and mailman-style auth/session cookies are used to access the "pages". (I know this isn't super-secure, but my intention was to keep out casual browsers and search crawlers.) The most complicated piece of the script is that it serves /all/ the images, thumbnails, SWF, JS, and CSS files, so that it can re-verify the cookie on each request. I can provide a copy of the PHP script and Apache configs if you're interested, but it's probably more work than you're anticipating. Ben -- Ben Love http://www.kylimar.com/ Attachment:
