Hi,

my config:
Version de Zenphoto 1.3.1.2 [5831] (Version officielle)

Is it any way to display or exclude specific categories from loop, like in wordpress with query_posts('cat=3,8')

If "yes", can you explain me how or where please ? I don't find very well in the documentation...
I need this to separate my gallery on two pages

thank you.

Your question is fairly ambiguous. But:

Unpublished items are not shown in menus/album listings

You can create `dynamic albums` of specific searches and those will show only the targets of the search.

If all you want is for your gallery to be two pages (whatever you mean by that) I guess I do not understand, Setting the items per page will control how many pages are used to show them.

sorry, I explain more :

I want to display my gallery on two distinct pages (not pagination).
The first page with albums 1,2,3
the second page with ablums 4,5,6

My problem is for exclude or display spécific albums on pages (from the loop), beacause actually i have all albums in each pages

I try dynamic album, but it's not what i wish.

Is this good for me ? (i try with this actually...but i'm not sure)
<?php $albumobject = new Album($galleryobject,"Album1,Album2,Album3"); ?>

thanks,

That is nothing standard, so you will have to code it directly. Guess you will have to become familiar with coding both with PHP and with the Zenphoto object model.

For instance your code above shows that you do not understand PHP at all. You seem to want to instantiate a single album object consisting of three album names. This is a concept that makes no sense.

yes exactly, i'am like a stupid, sorry.

how can i try instantiate my three albums ? if it's possible.

We really are not in a position to write custom code for our users on this forum. I suggest you visit the paid support page and see if you can contract with someone to implement this for you.

i can't paid, it's for pleasure and not commercial use, and i learn developpement when i got time, so i if it's not possible to obtain help, i'll try alone...

I don't want that someone write custom code for me, it's not my wish, but just discut and know what is the better solution or the name of the function i must use to write my own code.

I think it was a community forum about zenphoto users, and not only professionnals developpers.

It is, but that does not mean we are a charity. This is somehting you want. If you cannot do it yourself nor can you afford for someone to do it for you, then you will have to not have the feature.

Perhaps you could more or less achieve the result you're looking for by organizing your albums a bit differently, and use a custom menu.

In your album folder, you could create two subranches, one for each page you want to display; then use the menu_manager extension to create one entry for each of these pages.

OK it's not charity ^^, but it's not an employ offer...
I try alone it's for my pleasure, and i don't think i'll post again in this forum.
I think i'll change zenphoto to other cms where community exchange, sometimes for free.

My question was just to have an idea obout the method to use and if this function exist... but it's seems it will be a secret between zen developpers....
ok no problem.

Have a nice day.

No, it is not a secret, we are open source. Take a look at the object model tutorial and best the theming tutorial before that. However, that assumes that you have some php/web technique knowledge and the latter at least a basic understanding of object orientated programming. That knowledge we really have no resources to teach you.

Sorry, otherwise it will indeed mean to write the code for you. Remember we are volunteers here.
