display first image of album on index

hamsterbacke82

My problem is that I want to display the first image of an album on the index page one time.. if possible including a link to that album..
I got as far as finding a thread which deals with a similar problem and this code:

`<?php global $_zp_gallery;<br />
$alb = $_zp_gallery->getAlbums(0);

$first = $alb[0];

$firstAlbum = new Album($_zp_gallery, $first);

$img = $firstAlbum->getImages(0);

$first = $img[0];

$firstImage = new Image($firstAlbum, $first);

?> `

The problem is now to display an image thumbnail but not use the "while-next-Album"
function as it should be a unique image...

I hope somebody understands what my problem is and might have a hint as I'm no php expert...

You will need to gain a bit of php knowledge. You can find the documentation of all the relevant zenphoto functions on the zenphoto.org 'User Documentation' page.

Thank you, I'm trying to gain php knowledge all the time, just sometimes I get kind of stuck

hamsterbacke82: So you want to show only one unique image of one album on index.php, like on a photoblog? If you could use the nightly build and the printlatestimages function that now can show the latest (=first?) image of an album. See the documentation for more info.
