I'm liking Photoshare a lot. I'm really new to Postnuke, I promised a friend I'd set up a site for them that'd be easy to update (there is 7 or 8 people that work on their site and they only know the real basics of html). So I figured I'd use Postnuke and just kind of remove all editing and adding features except for those who work on the site (and restrict those to only things they need to use).

So my thing is, they have a section for fan works (such as fanart, fanfiction, wallpapers, music videos, etc). I want to make fanart and wallpaper sectoins use photoshare, but be seperate from each other (meaning, not being able to go to top and then go to wallpapers). Is it possible to hide the top bar for thsoe who aren't logged in with edit access, and put a "one level up" link in the thumbnail gallery?

Also, how would I add a field for artist name? Since only one or two people will be doing the actual uploading of the files, and they will all be going into a broad category of fanart, there is no real way to show who did each work.

Adding fields to Photoshare is probably not a task that you want to tackle for your project but there is another solution.

* Load the Pagesetter module.
* Create one publication type for Fan Art, one for Fan Fiction, etc.
* Include an image field when defining each one.
* Using permissions, only allow access to Photoshare for logged in users

For each piece of Fan Art that you want created:
* Upload the Fan Art images to a fan art album in Photoshare
* Create a Pagesetter Fan Art publication that points to that image

Combining custom publication types with images is wonderful between Pagesetter and Photoshare. What is currently lacking is untrusted submissions from users that are not logged in. This is being worked on right now. Another thing that might be missing is a way for untrusted submitters to upload their fan art images.
