Paid access to users? was created by nilsy
Hi there
I am wondering if the CBSubs can be used to limit access to User Profiles galleries or individual Profile Galleries (Albums)?

Let me try to explain better...
User A writes a blog entry, and uploads some photos to his profile in a new album called "User A Travel".
User B, reads the blog and wants to see the photos, but must first pay for access.

Is this possible, and preferably possible without any hacks etc that vanish on future upgrades?

I do not think you can protect a specific album, but you can protect access to an entire gallery tab using cbsubs fields tabs protection plugin (part of cbsubs).

Ok... do I understand it correct:
User A can only have 1 gallery, which is only open to 1 specific term (paid or not etc etc).

Is it then possible to create a second gallery for the same user?
Like "Photo" and then "Photo 2"?

Also, is there an option for a global access subscription?
Sort of:
User A pays X-amount, and from this he/she is allowed unlimited access to see all profile galleries.

The CB Gallery add-on basically gives you 4 gallery related tabs that you can configure as you wish.

WIth CBSubs you can protect anyone of these tabs and require a specific subscription for viewing users.

No option - just create a global access plan and offer it also if you want from frontend.
You can also keep this hidden and just manually add subscribers to it from backend if you want.
