Album module question

Post by qzy »

Hi there,


I'd like to know if it's possible to make a conventional portal album solution with the Album module? What I need is to have one thumbnail as part of a news item (or content page) which is a link to an album, and when clicking that thumbnail, then get the album in a popup window with pagination arrows.

Thanks for any idea,
Balint

Hello Mark,

thanks for your advice, though I couldn't make it work as I wanted to. Could you clarify what to put to the detailpage parameter? I mean I wouldn't like to make a separate page for each album, as there will be many....
And to give an idea what I'd like acheive, here is a page that works like that (not cmsms powered):

Sorry mistook meaning...

That could be {cms_module module="album" albums='5'} the last part is the album id/number so it would only show album 5 then next call is diff. number...

You will have to make a custom album template but it can be done...
