Parent Album name

farhan

Hello,

Is there any way to show parent album name other then the breadcrumb thing ?

I have it like for each user

User > Subalbums > Subalbums
User2 > Subalbums > Subalbums

And i need to show the User album name on the subalbum pages but seperately then the bedcrumbs on top...

Any way?

I think this is what you were going for.

If all you need is the name, calling:
`<?php $aGalleyIndex = getParentAlbums();<br />
echo $aGalleyIndex[0]; ?>`

should work. If you need it to be a link to the gallery index, try using:
`" title="Gallery Index"><?=getGalleryTitle();?>`

farhan

Hmm, that just shows "Object"

elderz

Sorry, you want `$aGalleyIndex[0]->getTitle()` or it looks like you could just call `echo printGalleryTitle()`

farhan

Sorry to bother you again but let me explain what i need again.

I have 10 main albums called User1, User2, blah blah . and i have 2 level sub albums in all of the main albums.

What i want to do is Show main album name on Top of the subalbums.

Like if i am on

User1> Trips > Someplace

I want to show User1 on top of the page.

printGalleryTitle() prints the gallery title, i don't need that.

Thanks in advance if anyone can help

Ahh ok. I think I understand. On mine, I have it set to show the breadcrumbs with the gallery root in the breadcrumbs. So mine might look like Gallery > User1 > Trips > Someplace. What you can do for that is use that code snippet from before. Instead of `[0]` we want `[1]`. The albums are stored in an array [Gallery, User1, Trips]. I haven't tested any of this, but try this:
`<?php $aGalleyIndex = getParentAlbums();<br />
echo $aGalleyIndex[1]->getTitle(); ?>`

Let me know if that works.

Nope i get a error

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in

themes\binary\album.php on line 32

Line 31 and 32 are

<?php $aGalleyIndex = getParentAlbums();
echo $aGalleyIndex[1]->getTitle(); ?>

farhan

anyone can help me on this ? please

farhan

<?php
$aGalleyIndex = getParentAlbums();
echo $aGalleyIndex[0]->getTitle(); ?>

ok that is working when i am in User > album or USer > Album > Album

But when i am just on user it gives the Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in error

ANy fix for that ?

Or any way of just showing this code in the sub albums and not the main ?

Thanks a lot for your help so far elderz

farhan

ok i don't have too much clue to what's going on here but i finally managed to do it.

<?php
if ( $aGalleyIndex = getParentAlbums()) {
echo $aGalleyIndex[0]->getTitle();
} else {
printAlbumTitle();
}
?>

It displays The main album title in any of it's subalbums or there subalbums.

If anyone can tell me what's happening there, that would be great too :P

Gallery level albums--those displayed on the index.php page--do not have parent albums (`getparentAlbums()` will be empty). That is why you need the `if ($aGalleryIndex =getParentAlbums()) {` test.

elderz

sorry about that farhan. I was out of town for a few days. I didn't realize that the gallery is not considered a parent album so it makes sense that `getParentAlbums()` wouldn't work.

farhan

no problems elderz, many thanks for your help
