album order (don't like ID order)

[Guerrero]

Hello,
Using cmsms 1.2.3 and album 0.9.2.

in the end-user album page (page type "album") I've the order I like (not for ID), order maintained using the up/down arrows.

but in the end-user page the order is using ID order.

How can I force not using ID order but the Order defined using up/down arrows in admin mode?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I simply suggest: don't use "page type album".

Use "content" and integrate the albums with

Code: Select all

{cms_module module="album" albums="1,2,3,4"}

or

Code: Select all

{cms_module module="album" albums="1"}
some text
{cms_module module="album" albums="2"}
some other text
{cms_module module="album" albums="3"}

hth,
Alex

Oh Thanks,
Only I've already 25 albums, but nice idea.

Hi faglork,

doesn't works.
the module sorts the IDs into the "albums=" param, then if you include
{cms_module module="album" albums="8,4,3,5,6,9"}
the order showed is 3,4,5,6,8,9

also the scripts puts some empty "rows" of space between each {cms_mod...} then the final page is very ugly.
maybe this can be due to "" in each {cms_mod...}

I've two or three albums for each year,
I like the years in descending order (then next year the 2009 must appear at top)
2007 one two three
2006 one two
2005 one two
2004 one two three
2003 one
....and so on

other problem is if you want put one album,
{cms_module module="album" albums="8"}
this don't show the tumbnail for the entire album, but ALL the thumbnails in the album, but
{cms_module module="album" albums="8,9"}
shows two thumbnails, one for album.

I think if you want only one album you can do albums="7,7" instead of albums="7"

but then you can't put several (i.e. three) thums albums in each row.
if you use tables then the details photos are showed in the same cell, very ugly.

then a new question
how can I show the photo details in other different page. i.e. thumbs albums in "albums" page and thumbs content in other page?
