Guys, after spending an entire Sat evening, looks like I found the solution for the gallery. It was much, much more challenging than I thought.
I have tried about ~10 Joomla extensions, some dont support user management, some do, but they cant be integrated transparently into Joomla. The Gallery 2 in bridge mode I installed before is an instance. They use database that is mirrorred all user information from Joomla one. Users need to register once, but log in twice. No good at all.
After a fair amount of research, Coppermine in bridge mode seems to be a solution. The tutorial to install is here:

So I installed everything. It wasnt an easy one I must say. The documenation is very very poor, vague and unclear documentation drove me nut!
Also, I decided to move the testing site to a new one. I can control everything in the old server, it doesnt sound good, really, because later on we need to implement Joomla and gallery in the Vicnet server, which access is very limited. So I migrate the site to a similar one as Vicnet's:

The admin login info is still:

Now, do me a favor, check the site and leave me some feedbacks.

i think it looks good enough for our project.
can we include a rotate function into the photo edit page?
I believe Ray didnt require rotate feature? Anyway, rotate function can be found in the image page:

haha true as i didn't include it in the acceptance criteria!
but if its just a few clicks of a job then i guess its better to include it as well, as i know he will need it in the future!
