How to use the Dynamic Albums feature September 08th, 2008
Albums in Zenphoto are physical and based on a folder on the file system. Dynamic albums are albums created dynamically based on a search.
- To create a dynamicalbum just perform a search.

- This will return a page with your search results. On that page (assuming you are logged in) is an admin toolbox link and clicking on that link will reveal a create album link.

- After you have clicked on that, you will be able to make an album out of your search. You can here set several options what to use to create the album (tags, title, descriptions etc).

- After that you can edit this album like any other album except that you cannot manage it’s images since they are taken from other “real” albums. Note the “.alb” that is appended to the album name.

- You can also change its sort order within the other albums, just like with any other album. Dynamic albums are marked with “dynamic” so that you can easily identify them on the list.

- On the gallery itself the album is also shown like any other.

Further tips:
To refine the dynamic album creation you somehow have to identify the pictures you want to collect together. The simplest way it to give them a common unique tag. Then perform a search and proceed as described above.
