You should take a look at our list of globals and the functions documentation of the classes.</p> <p><code>next_album</code> is context sensitive so if you want to show all albums always you have to use the object model. The print_album_menu plugin does perhaps do what you want but without thumbnails. </p> http://www.zenphoto.org/support/topic.php?id=6660#post-38972 Thu, 24 Dec 2009 01:04:30 +0000 weeman 38972@http://www.zenphoto.org/support/ <p>Sorry for my unclear question :-)</p> <p>The point is:<br /> There is an area on my page which shows links to the albums (subalbums are not used). This navigation list is generated by index.php using the next_album() function. The same navigation list, however, shall be also displayed on the album.php page which contains all the thumbnails using next_image().</p> <p>I made a workaround to achieve this:</p> <ul> <li>When album.php is loaded, the current album title is stored in a temporary variable $tempAlbumName.</li> <li>Recalling zp_load_gallery() and next_album() to insert the album titles into the navigation.</li> <li>Reloading the album with zp_load_album($tempAlbumName) followed by the next_image() function for the thumbnails.</li> </ul> <p>I bet there are more elegant and optimized ways to get the same behavior but this is what I could figure out.</p> <p>Merry Christmas :-) </p> http://www.zenphoto.org/support/topic.php?id=6660#post-38966 Wed, 23 Dec 2009 15:08:25 +0000 sbillard 38966@http://www.zenphoto.org/support/ <p>Album objects contain the descriptions. I am not clear on what you want to do, but if it is to just list the descriptions of the albums in a subalbum you would have to use the next album loop (assuming you are on an album page) an only display the descriptions.</p> <p>If you want something different you will have to program that using the zenphoto object model. </p> http://www.zenphoto.org/support/topic.php?id=6660#post-38963 Wed, 23 Dec 2009 14:04:17 +0000 weeman 38963@http://www.zenphoto.org/support/ <p>Yes, I've read the tutorial. I'm using the default Zenphoto theme as a base referring to my own CSS for the layout.</p> <p>Actually, all I need to know is if there is a way to access all album titles from within the album.php :-) </p> http://www.zenphoto.org/support/topic.php?id=6660#post-38961 Wed, 23 Dec 2009 13:43:08 +0000 acrylian 38961@http://www.zenphoto.org/support/ <p>I assume you read or theming tutorial? If there is no <code>next_album</code> loop on your album.php then there is no listing of albums. What theme are you using as a base. Or maybe post a link to your site, otherwise we are guessing. </p> http://www.zenphoto.org/support/topic.php?id=6660#post-38959 Wed, 23 Dec 2009 13:22:36 +0000 weeman 38959@http://www.zenphoto.org/support/ <p>Thanks for the info. Yes, I think you're right. I changed my approach to making a theme which makes handling the Zenphoto functions a lot easier.</p> <p>Due to using a theme however, there are some new issues I have to figure out. Basically, this is what I want my theme/page to do:</p> <p>1. index.php<br /> The main page shall create links to the albums. For this, I'm using<br /> <pre><code>while (next_album(true)) { print(&#39;&lt;li&gt;Link to album&lt;/li&gt; &#39;); }</code></pre> <p>which works fine.</p> <p>2. album.php<br /> This page shall show all thumbnails for the images which is working fine as well with</p> <pre>next_image()</pre> . But here's the problem:</p> <p>This page shall also show the links to all albums as mentioned in 1. However, the next_album() function is not available as album.php seems already to be operating in an album.</p> <p>Do you have any hint for this? Hopefully, my question is not too confusing? :-) </p> http://www.zenphoto.org/support/topic.php?id=6660#post-38935 Tue, 22 Dec 2009 15:23:42 +0000 sbillard 38935@http://www.zenphoto.org/support/ <p>Pagination in Zenphoto is integrally built into the normal way Zenphoto works (loading pages via the index.php script.) You will need to pretty much setup the "normal" Zenphoto environment. Seems to me that you would be better off just using that environment in the first place.</p> <p>Anyway, since it seems you are not putting album thumbs on the page you do not need the <code>normalizeColumns()</code> part. You can use just <code>next_image()</code>. You will also need to manage the Zenphoto page# variables. </p> http://www.zenphoto.org/support/topic.php?id=6660#post-38934 Tue, 22 Dec 2009 14:02:25 +0000 weeman 38934@http://www.zenphoto.org/support/ <p>Hello,</p> <p>I'm using some of the Zenphoto functions to embed features into my existing webpages. Basically, this is what I'm doing so far:</p> <p><code><br /> zp_load_gallery();<br /> zp_load_album('test');<br /> while(next_image(true)) {<br /> print('<a href="' . getFullImageURL() .'" rel="lightbox">&lt;img src="' . getImageThumb(getImageTitle()) . '"&gt;</a>');<br /> }<br /> </code></p> <p>This works fine for displaying every thumbnail of the album on a single page. However, I just don't understand how to seperate this "display as one page" into multiple pages showing e.g. 5 thumbs per page.</p> <p>I tried modifying the above to:</p> <p><code><br /> $i = normalizeColumns('1','5')<br /> while(next_image(false, $i)) {<br /> print('<a href="' . getFullImageURL() .'" rel="lightbox">&lt;img src="' . getImageThumb(getImageTitle()) . '"&gt;</a>');<br /> }<br /> </code></p> <p>But the only effect is that no thumbs are displayed at all. Could someone assist me?</p> <p>Robert </p>
