album as index page

amyg

I'd like to show a slideshow from one specific album on the index page.
I'm sure there's a simple solution but it escapes me no matter how hard I search.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
thanks

You would have to program that yourself. There is no easy way, option or function, for that.

OK - is there a not so simple solution?
It seems that there must be a way to call a specific album.
'load_album'? Or maybe a dynamic album (calling specific tags)

Is there a clever way to redirect an album to be the 'home' page?
If yes, then I could use the 'smoothgallery' option..
thanks again for any suggestions!

try a rewrite rule in your .htaccess file, something like:

`RewriteRule ^/zenphoto/$ /zenphoto/somealbum/`

and put it before the other zenphoto rules

Is this situation still true today?

I would like to show the images from a specific album on the themes index.php, without showing all the galleries and their respective thumbnails.

Yes, unless you want to do some theme coding.

@acrylian: Thank you for replying. I am indeed coding a new theme from scratch, however I don't have enough knowledge of PHP to do custom functions so I'll give it a miss!
