Add Item Permissions Requires Edit Album Permissions?

Not sure this is really an integration issue, but maybe someone can help me out anyways...

I must be missing something here, but I have not a found a way to allow users/groups to add images or photos (sub-items) to albums (actually sub-albums) without also giving them edit permissions which, unfortunately, gives them the ability to edit the albums at will.

It seems to me that the add items option is embedded in the edit album page. Without edit permissions, the user has no way to get to the add items option. Is this true? Or am I missing something?

fyi, this is gallery2 integrated with php-nuke 7.6...

Thanks...

Received this reply over at the G2 support forum which solved the problem. Seems without the G2 sidebar you lose functionality. This solution at least adds back in the add items without having to edit the album itself.

>>>
the "add album" link shows up in my g2 in the sidebar as item action.
you're using a theme without a sidebar / without any sidebar blocks. that was your decision. but this way, you removed some options of G2.

the item actions also show up under the item thumbnails as a drop down list. but it doesn't show all item actions there. in G2, you can decide whether to show all item action links in this drop down list or only a small subset (usability). it defaults to the small set.

you can change it.
open gallery2/themes/themeName/theme.inc (replace themeName with matrix, siriux, or any other theme that you want to change)

look for

Code:
function showAlbumPage(&$template, $item, $params, $childIds) {
$ret = $this->loadCommonTemplateData(
$template, $item, $params,
array('owner', 'viewCount', 'childCount', 'descendentCount', 'parents',
'systemLinks', 'itemLinks', 'itemSummaries', 'permissions',
'thumbnails', 'pageNavigator', 'jumpRange'),
$childIds);

replace it by
Code:
function showAlbumPage(&$template, $item, $params, $childIds) {
$ret = $this->loadCommonTemplateData(
$template, $item, $params,
array('owner', 'viewCount', 'childCount', 'descendentCount', 'parents',
'systemLinks', 'itemLinks', 'itemSummaries', 'permissions',
'thumbnails', 'pageNavigator', 'jumpRange', 'childItemLinksDetailed'),
$childIds);

basically, we just added 'childItemLinksDetailed' to the list in the array().
save the file, refresh an album page, it should show up now.
