This seems just a little vague, but the photoAlbum module is fairly simple so it shouldn't be hard to find help. The photo albums all have an "owner" property so basically all you have to do is check against that. You might want to add an admin option to "change the owner" of a gallery, but really if you aren't adding dozens of these at a time, you could just as easily type an update statement into some sql admin tool in order to assign owners to albums. There should be no need for a specific module maintainer to take this particular task on. Anyone who has written a phpwebsite module could do it. I would, but I guess I'm doing the same "working too hard...lifestyle thing" (as everyone else?).


The point was more to give back to the original module developer first whose code I've been using for years, but yes, after that, it's open to anyone.

I''ve extra code myself to write and I've 48MB of content to sift through to go on the site so extra hands would be nice.


Off the topic a bit, your local government legal department is actually correct. The code does not have to be given away. If you choose to redistribute the modified GPL or LGPL code in some way, then the changes must be distributed in the same manner as the original code (e.g. under and according to the terms of the GPL). Just the same, kudos to you for convincing them to release all the work :-)

Again - this falls under the "giving back" thing. ;-)
