My photographer friend needs a site where his clients can login and view their photos. This is a similar feature needed by many builders/contractors - anyone responsible for ongoing project development.

After a few minutes of searching my conclusion is to use node access modules. The Node Access Control API and the Content Access module seem to be the solution here.

I want to create a site where clients can log in and view their wedding photos or pictures from a photography shoot.

Recipe:

• CCK
• CCK Image
• Image Cache (generate thumbnails and derivatives)
• Lightbox 2 (& jquery update - required by lightbox 2)
• Node Access Control API
• Content Access
