Is there a way to set up a system where customers can purchase a username/account from me through gallery so they have unlimited access to viewing my photos. I DONT want the system where customers purchase individual photos, but rather have them just buy a ONE TIME fee for username where they can then have unlimited viewing access to my photos. |

Ah a porn site running Gallery
No, I've not seen anything like that. I can only think of these options:
1) Modify the register module to add this ability
2) Have a "pay-wall" where they have to pay for a subscription first, then you setup the account and send them the details
3) Use the current register module as is with new user's having to be approved and you send them a link to pay for access. Once they've paid, you approve their account.
But there's nothing in place that I've seen to make any of this automatic.

Thank you for your suggestion but we are NOT a porn site. Look us up on google "All American Bowl" we are a football all star game catering to DII/DIII, JUCO, High School and Semi Pro athletes. We have been around since 1996! Thanks! The pictures I am refering to are photos of our all star games.
How do you modify a module? I am not the most computer HTML savvy person, does this entail a lot of computer knowledge to make what I want to do happen?

I figured, just more of a friendly jab
Digging in and modifying the code to make something like this work is not just "simple HTML" work. It's more of a job for someone familiar with programming or at least hacking away at code. I guess it would really depend on your user base and how big it is. Keeping it "simple" and having people register, then have to pay, then once paid you can confirm their registration would probably be the most simple method.

Look for a subscription based gateway payment system. You simply place a piece of their code on your page and if the user is not registered/logged-in they get redirected to the pay-system signup/login
So their code would go into theme.tpl and your gallery permissions would be open to the public.
Gallery's auth system would not be involved whatsoever.
Unfortunately these types of systems are usually associated w/ porn but they are very easy to implement and convenient as well.
CCBill is a credible system of this type.

Ah, nice! I hadn't thought of doing it that way.
