A new gallery manager : Album

[Dr.CSS]

I believe if you look in Album Help it tell you how to limit # of albums in tag...

[requish]

I Read help several times and I did not find on this subject anything. Yet some hint?

PS. I dont want use 'Table' tpl, but 'greybox' tpl.

[Dr.CSS]

If you look most of the templates have an {if} for pagination at the top you may move this to the bottom then when calling the album tag limit the number of albums with number="5" or however many you want...

The number= is in the help...

(Please tell me, where I should change my code?)

Code: Select all

{* Include JS files. You can move this to the head of your page template if you want *}
<!--Greybox-->
<__script__ type="text/javascript">
    var GB_ROOT_DIR = "modules/Album/templates/db/greybox/";

[Dr.CSS]

The number="5" part is used in the Album tag {cms_module module='album' number="5"}...

The pagination part is in the template...

{if $pagecount>1}


<< 
{if $link.page.previous}< {/if}
page {$pagenumber}/{$pagecount}
{if $link.page.next} >{/if}
 >>

{/if}

This part only works if this is the template used as the default albumlist template, set in album in options...

i love U man, thanks a lot! its working )

[sam_m]

Hello, going to try replying on this thread,

has anyone managed to change the order of the images shown in the admin section of Album? at the moment every new photo is shown at the bottom of the album but im trying to get every new photo added to show at the top, is this possible? I know it can be changed on the front end, but it would be great if this could work on the back end

Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks
Sam

sam_m, in the help for the Album module, did you see?

Parameters
......
   * (optional) sortdesc="true" - Sort albums in descending order rather than ascending.
   * (optional) sortpicturesdesc="false" - Sort pictures in descending order rather than ascending. This will make new pictures that are added to an album to be listed first.

     Example to show pictures in reverse order:

     {cms_module module='album' sortpicturesdesc='true'}
......

Sorry, just saw the backend bit... do you mean sort the Album listing (in Admin) so the latest Album is at the top of the list, or do you mean individual pictures in an admin albumview , so the newest pictures are at the top? Either way it is going to mean changing code in the classes for the Album module I think.  Let me know, I may have need for this myself and if I get time will have a look.

Hi Russ, thanks for the reply,

Yes its the indiviual pictures in the admin albumview which I was hoping to get the newest at the top, suprises me no ones really wanted this before too be honest,

Mmm, I had a quick look Sam, not so easy to do. The display of pictures in Album admin, such as it is, allows for them to be re-ordered ( the blue arrows ). Any setting for sorting prior to that will upset this order - which is the point of it. True, the re-ordering could be a bit better, but it is there for a reason.

So lets approach this from another angle. Why do you need to have the newest image at the top? Most people create an Album and then display it. When they need some more images, they create a new album or less likely, add to the same one. Maybe there is another way around this?

(There is no date created on pictures, so it will have to be the sequence number (picture_id). The sort order for pictures is in picture_number.)

[sam_m]

Hi Russ,

You are correct really, there probably is no need to have the individual images at the top when thinking about it, as the sortpicturedesc function does what its suposed to do where its needed.

I guess the only real improvement would be on the sorting pictures order, drag and place would be nice like Zen Photo, but cmsms is constantly  growing and improving so who knows whats around the corner in terms of new modules

Kind Regards
Sam

You may want to check the new Gallery module for this
