I'm building a custom module where users are able to upload images in their Groups. I've already implemented the AS API to upload the file to the group - but they unfortunately go into the default photo album for the group (or profile).

I would like to be able to create the gallery - and choose it to add the images too.  Then - when I want to view that gallery - I can simply rely on AS and use all it's functionality for implementing views & comments and all since it's already there.

Example:
Let's say Groups are Cities.  And users are adding locations (A bar or pub) to these Cities.  So they can add photos from that bar/pub.  I want to be able to show the images for each individual Bar/Pub - and since it's not in the API nor in it's own gallery - I have to rely on my own code making the right calls.

I've created a view that inner joins the Bar/Pub's ImageId's that I store w/ the ActiveSocial_Files table - but that's not implementing the counts, permissions, UI of AS.  I'm re-creating the wheel that's already part of AS.

Any tips?  Or Vote's for implementation in the API? :)

Did you ever get a response on this? I am looking to integrate my own Gallery module within AS but cannot really find out where I can hook into the API for the options.

Hey Mark,

I don't think we're attacking the same problem. It sounds like you already have your own gallery module. I was simply looking to use the AS Gallery - but wanted to create my own folders (galleries) within the AS Gallery. I haven't checked since version 1.9.3 and it wasn't there - but I see there is a new version (1.9.6) out

I think what you're looking to do is simply integrate a 3rd party module - here's a link from the KB (which is always hard to find again) that outlines showing a new tab on the profile page (same idea w/ groups page):

If that's what you're trying to do - you'll want to be able to search your gallery module by the Active Social UserId (which is likely the same as the DNN user Id) from the query string

If you're looking to integrate more by posting to the journal (wall) - have a look at dnnosphere - he helped me get in the right direction mentally:

Hope this helps
