    I have set the role capabilities to Author. But, I do not understand how to write shortcode on the page so that the author can create albums and upload photos. Please help. thank you.

    Here is a hack for you and others who want to have Gmedia Uploader on the Frontend:

    Set capabilities for the user role in Gmedia Settings as following:
    Gmedia Library – required
    Upload Media Files – to allow upload media
    Albums, Tags… – to allow assign already created by you terms (shared albums, categories, tags)

    Manage Tags – to allow create new tags while upload media
    Manage Categories – to allow create new categories while upload media
    Manage Albums – to allow create own user albums (author for the album will be current logged in user. Other users can’t upload to others albums)

    Then add iframe to your Page:

    <iframe src="HTTPS://YOUR-WEBSITE-DOMAIN.COM/wp-admin/media-upload.php?post_id=0&tab=gmedia_library&action=upload&chromeless=1" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" width="100%" height="550"></iframe>

    replace HTTPS://YOUR-WEBSITE-DOMAIN.COM with your website domain url.

    Important Note: User Role should have capabilities to upload files to WordPress, otherwise they will get this message:
    Sorry, you are not allowed to upload files.

    So the hack in the previous message will work by default only for Author user Role and above, unless you have some plugin for changing capabilities.

    Thanks for your answer. It works. But I can create only album through this. I want to create gallery with albums in it and also assign the skin for both albums and gallery from the front end. Request you to suggest. Thank you.

    For creating galleries with skins users should enter to the WordPress Dashboard.
    You can add link to your post for quick access to Gmedia Galleries panel. Create Author user for yourself and login with it from different browser to see how it’s work for different roles.
