Hi there,

i am not sure if you could help me.

Currently i am searching for a gallery, where we could display some pics only available to a specific user. This is possible with this Gallery-Script.

But now we would love to setup the Gallery, that an album is only available a specific time.

For example:

We add today a user and for this user a specific album. The user should be able to log into the gallery for say 30days. Or the album should be available only 30days.

Is there a chance to set this up within gallery? Or any idea how to solve this problem?

Thanks in advance..

Marcel

There are many ways to do both of these things.

Here is a module I wrote to display a tag "expires soon" under any album and photo that is more than a certain number of days old - it's based on the "new items" module. It's not exactly what you want, but it might be useful. Add a stylesheet entry for .giOld to style the tag, eg 

.giOld {
        font: normal 7px Arial;
        text-transform: uppercase;
        color: #222;
        background: #ff2222;
        padding: 0 3px;
        margin-left: 3px;
}

To expire users after a certain period of time, see http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery2:Modules:timevalidation
