Ok, I am finally getting somewhere with this....but my stumbling block is how to show certain components of the gallery all on a single page. For example this page http://foodstylist.com.au/adspacks/a1_1.html has the following components all showing at once:
1. the parent gallery section (ads+packs)
2. the thumbnails represent links to sub-galleries
3. the sub-gallery title is show on the left below thumbs (Carisse carpets)
4. the full-sized images from the sub-gallery are shown on the right
5. the navigation for the sub-gallery is shown on the right (there are four images in the sub-gallery)
My problem is that I just don't know how to start with this, I get the sense that I can whip ZenPhoto into shape, but I can't get my head around how to combine elements that by default are spanned across multiple pages into a single page.
Any help, pointers, hints would be greatly appreciated.
