User privileges for photo gallery website
I am looking to set up a non-profit photo gallery website for my local community so that photographers can upload a bio, images and image captions of the local area to share.
I’m thinking of using some of Stef’s wonderful plugins, namely smd_bio and smd_gallery, but am not sure what author privileges to set.
Staff Writer seems the obvious choice, but I basically want to restrict each contributor to only editing/publishing/deleting their bio, image and image caption details. In other words, I don’t want to allow them to contribute lengthy articles etc.
Any suggestions appreciated.

Hmmm, I don’t think the current crop of priv plugins allow fine control of who can do what. bot_privs might help, or ied_hide_in_admin? Not sure.
If they don’t, you’re probably into the realms of a simple plugin whose pseudo-code reads:
if (logged-in-user-level == 'staff writer') {
// Disable access to Write tab
// Disable access to blah blah...
}The smd plugin menagerie — for when you need one more gribble of power from Textpattern. Bleeding-edge code available on GitHub.
