Will Gallery 3 be able to do this?

I'm new to Gallery. I need a script that can be used as a community gallery similar to Flickr or DeviantArt.

I've been playing with Gallery 3 and it seems ALMOST what I need.

Except:

1) PayPal Subscription: I'd like to have a way of limiting users features/upload space. This way I offer more features/space via a PayPal subscription. Will there be anything like this?

2) User Setup: When a user registers (using the register module) they have no album or section of their own. It would be nice if it could setup some basic things like an album names by their username and even add some custom information fields about them that I can setup.

3) Categories: I'd like to have categories. Something you can select from a drop-down in the main menu. From there you can sort by things like date, most favs (using the favorite module) and also search. When uploading a photo you can select with check boxes what category you'd also like it listed under. So this way there are a couple ways of browsing the gallery. If you want to look through a category you can, or you can browse the most recent additions (see below) or through a users album etc.

4) Home: The homepage with user registration is a little confusing. It's like you're looking at a main galley with galleries in it. The odd thing is it's named a gallery name and not just the homepage. I'd like to have a homepage that shows the most recent added photos. You can click through multiple pages and see what's new etc.

As it is now Gallery is so close, but it's just not there. Only problem is there doesn't seem to be anything better out there.

I'm also curious how long G3 will be in "beta"? I'd like to get this site idea going soon. Would I be better off using G2 instead? Does it have these kind of features via modules?

Everything you've asked for can be written as a 3rd party module. Most of those things haven't been written yet, but it's probably not that much work and there's a pretty active set of module devs here in the forum so ask around.

Right now there are only a couple of cosmetic issues left before the final release. I think we're talking about a final release in the next couple of weeks.

Thanks for the reply.

I do know some PHP, however, I've never coded plug-ins for a pre-existing system. So, I'm not sure how easy/hard it would be for me to do some of these things.

I look forward to the official release.

Hang in there. Our awesome community has written *tons* of modules before 3.0 is even released: http://codex.gallery2.org/Category:Gallery_3:Modules anything you want will surely be written.
