I have created an image_gallery content type. I would like the teasers on the fron page of my site to have a link that says "View All Pictures" instead of "Read More". I have created a template file for this content type and figured out that the block below handles the link.

<?php if ($links): ?>
      <div class="links"><?php print $links; ?></div>
    <?php endif; ?>

How can I modify that section to read "View All Pictures" and link to the full page of content? Is this possible in the template file for the content type?

You have a bunch of options

1. Write a custom module and implement hook_link_alter() (D6 only)
2. The template stuff ofcourse. Reimplement phptemplate_links as necessary into your new theme.
3. Do it with ReadMore Tweak? (Not sure)
4. Do it with Contemplate by manually coding whatever you'd want into the teaser

I actually figured out a way to do it. I used the Custom Links module to insert the new "View All Photos" link. I removed the "Read more" link with code I found over at FreshBlurbs.com for moving the "Read more" link.

Original code (http://www.freshblurbs.com/how-hack-read-more-drupal):

<?php
// Extract "read more" link from $links so we can display it separately.
if (preg_match('!<a[^>]+>'.t('Read more').'</a>!', $links, $match)) {
  $links = preg_replace('/<a.+?href.+?>'.t('Read more').'<\/a>/i', '', $links);
  $more = '<div align="right">'. $match[0] . '</div>';
  $more = str_replace ("Read more", "Read the rest of the posting...", $more);
}
else {
  $more = '<span class="readmore-fill"></span>';
}

if ($more) { print $more; }

?>

Remove the following line to prevent the link from displaying on teasers.

if ($more) { print $more; }

I had this exact same issue and in Drupal 7, thought I could alter the locale to modify the "Read more" link in taxonomy teaser list views.

I could, by editing in settings.php like this:

$conf['locale_custom_strings_en'] =
array(
	'' => array(
		'Read more<span class="element-invisible"> about @title</span>' => 'Product Data'
	),
);

Problem is, then all content types show "Product Data", and I just want it for "Products."

The fix is to patch the node.module, which I know is a no-no, but unfortunately, it's not leveraging the context option which allows the translation to serve a context of where it's translating something. So the following change in node.module:

1375c1375
<       'title' => t('Read more<span class="element-invisible"> about @title</span>', array('@title' => $node_title_stripped)),
---
>       'title' => t('Read more<span class="element-invisible"> about @title</span>', array('@title' => $node_title_stripped), array('context' => $node->type)),

Allows me to modify "Read more" based on the content type. Much cleaner. Not sure how to propose this change as a patch.

Final result:

$conf['locale_custom_strings_en'] =
array(
	'product' => array(
		'Read more<span class="element-invisible"> about @title</span>' => 'Product Data<span class="element-invisible"> product data for @title</span>'
	),
	'case-history-type' => array(
		'Read more<span class="element-invisible"> about @title</span>' => 'Learn more<span class="element-invisible"> learn more about @title</span>'
	),
);

Cheers.
