display multiple galleries on one page?

TIBrent

Ok the same client who I was working with before for the image popup has a new request. He wants to display all the galleries on one page. In other words he wants categories for his photos like; promo, live, fans etc... & he wants all of those galleries on one page with the category title to separate the different sections. An illustrated Example is this site : http://spokenmusic.com/photos.php
He wants something almost identical in theory to that one. Originally I just had all photos no what style (category they should be in) inside one gallery called main. But apparently he wants all photos in one master displaying all thumbnails/category titles etc.
If there any way to do this? I sure hope so, thanks for any & all help in advance.

Of course you can do this, it is software after all.

First, use `next_album(true)` to loop through all the albums without pagination.
Then within the album loop use `next_image(true)` to loop through the images within the album with no pagination.

For most themes what this amounts to is moving the next_image loop to within the next_album loop, changing the parameters to `true`, and removing the code that displays the album thumbnails.

Hi there, I'm trying to do the same thing as well- to the effect of marianovivanco.com where I just show the first 5 thumbs of each album on my gallery page rather than one main image.

but I'm not quite sure where I should make the edits. In the theme by stopdesign, the gallery php only shows next_album, and the album page I can find both next album and image, which I've both switched to true.. but nothing looked different.

Should I move the code from the album page and paste it onto the gallery page? I tried putting the album code inside the gallery loop, and now there are placeholders there but it says "Fatal error: Call to a member function isDynamic() on a non-object in ../zp-core/template-functions.php on line 458"

I haven't removed the code that displays the album thumbnails yet, but is this on the right track?

IF you want to show the thumbs of the images within an album, you need to move the next_image loop within the next_album loop. Please also read our theming tutorial to get familiar with the basics of Zenphoto themes.
