Multiple Album Lists

bferens

I am needing to do the normal place 6 or so images that represent albums on the page using the next_album() function. Then I want to place another list with 15 album titles in it. How do I reset the next_album() function to start back at the first album? I am currently on the index.php page. Thanks to whoever can help me out.

It resets itself :-) That should work fine. You can do this if you want and it should also work, printing four sets of (the same) albums:

`while(next_album()) { ... }

while(next_album()) { ... }

while(next_album()) { ... }

while(next_album()) { ... }`

`next_album(true);` will print all albums, if that's what you're looking for. At the moment there's no way to specify the exact number to loop through, but there should be... hmm...

I am trying to do something similar on my index page - 3 albums (with thumbs) on left and then a complete list of all albums on the right (minus thumbs). But next_album() is not reseting itself when it is called the second time and is starting from where it left off in the first call.

Here is the first call;

<?php $counter = 0; while (next_album() and $counter < 3): ?>
...
<?php $counter++; endwhile; ?>

This is the second call;

<?php while (next_album(true)): ?>

...
<?php endwhile; ?>

jhenryexp, simple solution might be to do a second but empty loop after the first which just finishes the uncomplete first one and then to call a third one :

´<?php $counter = 0; while (next_album() and $counter < 3): ?>
...do your thing
<?php $counter++; endwhile; ?>

<?php while (next_album(true)): ?>
<?php $endwhile; ?>

<?php while (next_album(true)): ?>
do your thing
<?php $endwhile; ?>
