[Solved]Adding 'detailpage' to album

Post by jasnick »

Using 1.11.4 and up to date modules

(optional) detailpage="pagealias" -

Page to display Albums in. This can either be a page alias or an id. Used to allow Album pictures to be displayed in a different page from the album list.
Example of use: {Album detailpage='album'}


Take a site with 3 albums with 3 thumbnails (one for each album) on the main album list page.

Does this mean that there needs to be 3 additional pages, one for each album? Or does it mean a new blank page (called 'album' or whatever ) that comes up when a thumbnail is clicked?

If so, where does {Album detailpage='album'} go? There is already {Album} on the main album list page - is this extra or all that is needed?

Thanks

Album default actions...

{Album} shows the thumbnail/links to all albums, when you click these they replace the {content} on the same page with all the albums images as image links, click one and it shows the large image using whatever album template it uses...

{Album detailpage='album'} same as above but instead of using/replacing the original pages {content} it replaces the 'album' pages {content} (you must have a page with alias of 'album' for this to work)...

Thanks Dr.CSS - I think the last sentence says it all:
(you must have a page with alias of 'album' for this to work)
Thanks for the help!
