Is there any way to display a line of text (or an image) that would indicate an album's published status? Essentially, if an album is unpublished, i would like the text 'private' or 'unpublished' to appear next to the description. If there is a tag i can use, i can add it to the template.

thanks

album=>get('show') will return a '1' if the album is published and a '0' if not.

thanks. for clarification if anyone else runs into this problem, there is also a method called getShow(), which I assumed would return the necessary value as long as it was within the album's while loop. Unfortunately, this didn't work.
In case anyone wants the answer, my final solution was:

echo $_zp_current_album->get('show');

Strange that the getShow() method failed for you since its implementation is exactly the same as the above code. Returns the same database field.
