How to get title of previous/next album?

Wete

I'd like to have arrows ( << >> ) in album.php so that visitors can switch to the previous/next album. This works good with
`

<?php if (getPrevAlbum()!="") { ?>

" title="<?php echo gettext("Next Album"); ?>">

<?php } if (getNextAlbum()!="") { ?>

" title="<?php echo gettext("Next Album"); ?>">

<?php } ?>

`
..., but I should have a parameter for the title tag. getAlbumTitle only returns the Title of the current album and does not allow parameters. Is it possible to create a workaround?

It always comes down to this:

getNext/PrevAlbum return the object of the those albums.

Ah, that part that I did never understand ...

Maybe you could explain me that? (Yes, I read the object model page, but I can't apply it.)

The basic concept is explained here: http://www.zenphoto.org/news/zenphotos-object-model-framework#global-object-variables

Just that here we get the object via the getNext/prevAlbum functions. Pass that to a variable and use the method to get the title. Exactly the same as in the example.

This is nothing ZP specific, it is general PHP. Please also review the functions documentation on the classes.

Got it:

$_zp_current_album->getPrevAlbum()->get("title")
$_zp_current_album->getNextAlbum()->get("title")

Actually you should use `getTitle()`, otherwise it does not work in multilingual mode. `get()` acccesses a db field directly.

Also `getPrevAlbum()->getTitle()` would work as well as that returns the object too if there is one.

OK, thanks. Works fine here.
