Hi, I want to start a non-paying job for someone to start entering contextual descriptions on all of my images. I have way too many to do myself and it would take me years to add descriptions to 43,000 images. In the past couple of days I've been entering descriptions like crazy, and opened my Search function so that a person looking for any one tag or word that is in the description shows the corresponding image(s). That works well enough. I've been doing a lot of research and testing how I think it might be done, and it can't be done just by giving someone "manager" or "editor" access in Joomla. I have to give them Full Admin control, same as me so they have access to the Joomgallery component, in order for them to be able to get into each image (either in the front end or back end) so they can start editing. That gives them control to delete all of my images and categories and I'm just not ready to have someone I don't really know start willy-nilly deleting everything. I need someone I can trust.
How do I restrict someone from deleting my entire library and ONLY allow them to enter desciptions for each image in the Joomgallery component? I checked Joomla permissions and found out I would need to give them the same access I have in order to do this, something I hoped I could have avoided. Is there a way to do this? Maybe allow them to log in on the Front end and click the Edit button under each image, or allow them to log on to the back end (which I know how to grant) and not have them ruin my entire image collection?
This is all very frustrating. Thanks to anyone who can help.
