1)  Can I use GX1 or is only GX2 available?  From what I’ve read I think GX1would be better suited for my needs.

2)  Is there anyway to allow non-members to submit photos?  I know the risk of porn submissions and the like but besides that can I allow complete strangers to submit photos?

3)  Can I differentiate what categories can be picked based on what member group the person is a part of?  In other words if the member is from the “Public” group he can only submit to categories 1 and 2 but a member from the “Super Person” group can submit to any category.

Thanks in advance!

Is this thing on?

Hi,

I can get you a copy of GX1, but GX2 does everything that 1 does as well as the extra stuff.

Both require that members submit photos.

And no, there’s not any extra code in the module to show or hide different categories depending on who is submitting. Though you could write a bit of code to manage that fairly well.

Would the code to restrict which category they upload to have to do with the “category_menu” variable pair?  It looks like it cycles through all categories but can it be manipulated to only show the cats that I want?  If so a code example would be good.

Mitchell, I know you’re a busy person but I’m hoping for just a few more moments of your time with this so I can determine if I need to purchase the mod or not.  Cheers!

I’m very sorry for the delays. Last week, not to mention the one before was pretty bad.

For the category menu that you need, you could write a query using {exp:query} to get what you want. I like that method a lot because of the high level of customization. Ultimately GX2 is not massively flexible on that point right now.

And to remind you just in case, GX2 requires membership in order to accept postings.

All Solspace software can be ‘returned’ for a full refund by the way, within 30 days of purchase. That might put your mind at ease.

Hey, I know how life can be so no worries!

I don’t know if I follow you on the idea of using {exp:query}.  I mean I understand what the query does but how will I take that and tell EE to attach the submitted photo to the chosen category?

Sorry, I was thinking you could use the query tag to create a category pulldown to assign the image postings. But you could even hard code that pulldown if your categories don’t change that much.
