Get url of first image in the next/previous album

lordflake

Hi,

I'm trying to generate a link to the next album but I would like to skip the album view completely. It looks as if for this to occur I need to generate a link to the first image in the next album, not just a link to the next album.

If anybody could give any pointers on how to do this, it would much appreciated. Thank you.

We have functions like this but those are album context sensitive so they are for the current album not the next.

You will have to work with the object model framework.

Hi Acrylian,

Thanks for your answer. That's what I figured having looked at the available functions. Could you help me out a bit more by expanding on how to use the object model framework please? That's the bit I'm stuck on.

We have a short tutorial about the basics in the works if you can wait a little.

Thanks - that'll be really helpful.

I've managed to bodge a solution together, but I've no idea if it's sound...

`

$PrevAlbum = getPrevAlbum();

$firstimg = $PrevAlbum->getImage(0);

echo rewrite_path("/" . pathurlencode($PrevAlbum->name) . "/" . urlencode($firstimg->filename) . im_suffix(), "/index.php?album=" . urlencode($PrevAlbum->name) . "&image=" . urlencode($firstimg->filename));

`

Actually quite good. Here a little help:
Insert this after the 2nd line:
`
$imgobj = newImage($prevAlbum,$firstimg);
$firstimageeurl = $imgobj->getImageLink();
`
