How to check album level

billkerr

Hi,

I would like to use PHP if else statements to show different elements on my page depending on the location within the album/subalbum structure.

My albums:

• Parent album
  • Sub-album
    • Album 1
    • Album 2
  How can I check if I am in a parent album, a sub-album, or the album itself?
  
  Thanks.

there is an object method for the parent: `$obj->getParent()`. This will return `NULL` for albums which are the parent.

And using the template function `getParentAlbums()` you can even count the array returned (null as well if there are no parents) to find out on what level you are.
