Images do not appear in album with subalbums

edasque

any ideas why photos in an album don't appear on "Page 1" and appear in a Page 2 that shouldn't exist, given the number of images in :

Does it have to do with:
<?php while (next_image(false, $firstPageImages)): ?>

I used to just use next_image() but it doesn't work anymore either.

This is because of the way your theme is handling albums with both subalbums and images in it. There is a function named normalizeColumns which, in conjunction with next_image, controls how images and albums are displayed together.

call the function somewhere before you display anything:
`$firstPageImages = normalizeColumns(ALBUMCOLUMNS, IMAGECOLUMNS);`
Put in the correct values for the two parameters.

Then where you have `next_image()` change to `next_image(false, $firstPageImages)`

This will allow zenphoto to display both albums and images on a single page. The default (presumably in your theme) uses separate pages for subalbums and images since it has no idea how many of each will fit.

I understand the concept but I don't understand the parameters I am afraid. Is it really the max number of each entity displayed (could be 40 for images for example) or does it have anything to do with columns ?

Using: $firstPageImages = normalizeColumns('6', '5');

Why does http://www.frenchguys.com/gallery/Portfolio 2007/Rassain (which has no subalbums) display 15 images now ?

(also how do you get a count of the sub albums for this page so as to not execute the loop if there are none)

By the way, I really appreciate your dedication to this sbillard, thanks much for your help.

if your rows of 3 album thumbnails, then the first parameter is 3
if your rows of 6 image thumbnails, then the second parameter is 6

This is what I would guess from visiting your gallery. So, you would have
`$firstPageImages = normalizeColumns(3, 6);`

A side effect of the function call is that the albums_per_page and images_per_page options are rounded out to be a multiple of the number that go in a row. This is a dynamic, not permanant change. Because of this, you should put the function call at the top of image.php, album.php, and index.php or your pagination may come out wrong.

`getNumSubalbums()` will give you the count of subalbums. However, I don't recommend you use this for controlling the loop. Instead there is a couple of functions: `isAlbumPage()` and `isImagePage()` which will tell you if albums (or images) are beign displayed on the page.
