That function gets the "albums" folder. If set to external on the config file it will get that.

You mean if you actually have albums?

If the album object's parent is NULL it is a root (first level) album. test for `is_null($obj->getParent())`

Thanks for your quick response.
I used this and works;
if ($_zp_current_album->gallery->albumdir.$_zp_current_album->name."/"===$_zp_current_album->localpath) {//do something }

I am not sure I understand what you want to do actually. $_zp_gallery->getNumAlbums() gets you the number of toplevel albums, thus if there are albums in the /albums folder at all.

Thanks Acrylian for your quick one. Anyway what i intended to do was check wether a certain folder eg 'windows' existed in the albums folder. Thanks a million

Ok, but your codes uses $_zp_current_album. So that album apparently exists why the check does not make real sense to me...
The way to check for a toplevel album existing is to use the object model.
`
$albums = $_zp_gallery->getAlbums();
foreach($albums as $album) {
if($album == '<folder name to check>') {
<do something>
}
}
`
Or just try to create the object...if the album is not there it will not work (you can check with $obj->exists btw).
