I have implemented sorting for Subalbums that mimics the sorting for Albums. Of course, no Admin interface yet, but you can set the [b]sort_order[/b] field via SQL or (at least with my ISP) the [b]phpMyAdmin interface.

Replace the [/b][b]getSubAlbums[/b] function in class-album.php with the code below:
`

function getSubAlbums($page=0) {

  function sortSubalbumArray($albums) 

global $_zp_gallery;

if (is_null($this->subalbums)) {

  $dirs = $this->loadFileNames(true);

  $subalbums = array();

  foreach ($dirs as $dir) {

    $dir = $this->name . '/' . $dir;

    $subalbums[] = $dir;

  }

  $sortedSubalbums = $_zp_gallery->sortAlbumArray($subalbums); 

  $this->subalbums = $sortedSubalbums;

}

if ($page == 0) { 

  return $this->subalbums;

} else { 

  $albums_per_page = zp_conf('albums_per_page');

  return array_slice($this->subalbums, $albums_per_page*($page-1), $albums_per_page);

}

}

`

It's not working for me.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_GLOBAL, expecting '{' in /home/**/public_html/photos/zen/class-album.php on line 101

Probably a transcription error. Download the efferevescence_simpleviewer theme from the WIKI, the function is included in the copy of class-album.php included with the theme.

Hello,

The sorting is not working for me. It's not the same sorting as the one with the previous function, but it's still not sorted as I want.

I tried to put a value in the sort_order field but it's still not sorted.

What should I do if I want my subalbums sorted by folder name ?

Thanks.

sbillard, Keep up the good work with this! ZP Lives!

zittoune: You need the subalbum support hacks that are included in the effervescence_simpleviewer theme. See the readme file in the download.

The sort only goes on the sort_order field, so you will have to order that the way you want your subalbums to appear.

Ok I'll try that, thank you for your answer sbillard

Couldn't test it before. The sort_order field is working fine , I just didn't know how to use it.

Thank you sbillard
