Print_Album_Menu - subalbumcount

FilMar

Is there a way to have (besides the imagecount) also a subalbum count in the print_album_menu ?

acrylian

"Is there a way" is not really the right question actually. The answer is not without modifying the plugin.

FilMar

Thanks for the answer, I know that everything is possible but was wondering if it was foreseen.
Is it a lot of work?

Thanks in advance,

I have put that as an option (either subalbum or image count, both would be confusing) on my list. can't promise when I get to that though.

FilMar

Thanks,

You're probably right about the one or the other option but a 'x photos in y albums' would be nice too ;-). Only that you need to count all levels and sublevels at once then.

FilMar

acrylian, for the moment I don't need the option any more (but I think it may be usefull for others too), I changed my template in a way that I don't use Print_album_menu any more.

But I have another question. I found the functions getNumImages and getNumSubalbums but is there also a function already available that counts the images in the subalbums?
Or some codelines to achieve the same.

I will have some toplevel albums (as catagories) wich all contains a number of subalbums.
Here I would like to show with each toplevel the total number of images and the number of subalbums (getNumSubalbums).
I know where to put it (gallery.php, div album) but I don't see directly how to get the right number.

Many thanks in advance,

acrylian

No, there is no direct function to get the number of images within the subalbums of a certain album.

You have two way to get those:

1. via object orientation using our classes: Code a loop using the album class method `getSubalbums()`and create an album of each of that to get its image number and then add them together.

2. via MySQL: A count query using the `LIKE` statement as all subalbums have the name of their top level album in there name (e.g. `toplevelalbum/sublevelalbum/...`).

FilMar

OK, thanks, I'll try to figure that out.

Keep up the good work... ;-))

FilMar

OK, it works (almost)

I did it via a MySQL query.
I have only one little problem. How do I get the foldername of an album in Zenphoto?
There are some albums that I changed the title so the foldername is not the title...

Thanks in advance,

The albumid field of the image is the record ID of the album. You have to query that record and extract the folder field
