Hi, I was trying to build a website for my kid using CMSMS and album module but got stuck.

What I want is some text and then a thumbnail of the album or thumbnail of a picture.
Like if the text says ...
This is my father : [thumbnail]
Now I shud be able to display thumbnail of the album where I have pics of father or a thumbnail of an image of father so that it can be clicked to display either the album or the bigger picture whatever the case.

Can you exlplain how can this be acheived ?

Have you tried the Title and Comment field in the Album when creating an album you will see a Comment link for the Album itself next to the thumb for the Album and below the thumbnails for the images is a pencil and paper icon click this for Title and Comments for each thumbnail/picture...

Please check the site www.maolik.com
I inserted tag {cms_module module='album' albums='1'} and its showing full image and album thumbnail.
I just need album thumbnail and not the larger image. How can I do that ?  :-[

When you make Album you click the second tab 'Properties' and you will see templates to use with the album you have default now, more than likely, try one of the others till you find one you like, most used is Thickbox...

This CMS is not that simple , I must say, with due apologies.
