hi-
so i found zenphoto not too long ago and while i really enjoy it, the one thing (that i think is subalbum related) is instead of, say, /photo/bands/01.jpg, i need another directory like photo/bands/bandname/01.jpg, just so there aren't a zillion photos unorganized and whatnot on the main page.

now from what i can tell poking around, searching, and other things is this is the infamous 'subalbum' deal (i'm obviously not the best with php/sql code here).

while i've seen a lot of information in the various topics, i haven't found exactly what i'm looking for - just sort of a straight up, 'this is how subalbums work / how to modify code / etc' sort of thread. i've upgraded to the community build (which i read has the subalbum support), but don't know where to go from here.

thanks for any help in advance of what surely is a noobish question. i can read / write html & css easy, and can figure my way around php, but when it comes to finding specific parts of code i'm just not the best.

Subabums work just like you desire. You create a folder structure in albums that matches how you want your images partitioned. each folder that is located under folder is a subalbum. The included themes (in the community build) all fully support subalbums, so if you use one of them, no PHP code required.

If you wish to make your own theme, use the "default" them as a starting point. The file "album.php" is where all subalbum stuff occurs.

edit: nevermind, i'm an idiot and i figured it out.

it's one of those things where if you stare at the code long enough, the big 'hey you're a dummy' line pops out.

thank you for your patience, though.
