ALBUM: changing thumbnail links to albums

Post by wolphy »

I have set up separate pages for albums, with new URLS to those pages.  I want to change the links on the album list page (called with this tag {cms_module module='album'}) also.   How do I change the link for an album thumbnail from this:

index.php?mact=Album,m2,default,1&m2albumid=5&m2returnid=52&page=52
  to this:

index.php?page=events


I'm assuming there's something in a template I can change?

i'm not sure i completely understand what you're trying to do.

if you are setting up a page for each album, you'll have to call the gallery on each page (so that the page only shows the one album you're trying to show, with thumbnails). if you do this, the full URL you're trying to change isn't necessary, because each gallery will have it's own page.

you can't change the URLs generated by the album module. if you're going to use it to show album thumbnails, you have to use the URL as it is.

"you can't change the URLs generated by the album module. if you're going to use it to show album thumbnails, you have to use the URL as it is."

that's what I was trying to do, so now i'll stop trying to figure out something futile.  thanks for your help!
