Is it somehow possible to include a piece of code somewhere that does:
`if albumname equals "illustration" or "photography" or "paintings", use album.php,

else if albumname equals (everything else) use album2.php`
?

That would be lovely - and save me from having to install zenphoto twice! (This is because I want the thumbnails on the illustration etc. pages to look very different than those on the other pages..)

If the changes aren't _that_ drastic, you could even do that switch in album.php itself.

`if($_zp_current_album->getFolder() == "foldername") {

// Do special thumbnails

} else {

// Do regular thumbnails.

`

Otherwise, if you want to separate other things, hack your index.php (in the root zp directory) to look something like this around these lines

`...

if (in_context(ZP_IMAGE)) {

include("$themepath/$theme/image.php");

} else if (in_context(ZP_ALBUM) && $_zp_current_album->getFolder() == "specialfolder") {

include("$themepath/$theme/albumspecial.php");

} else if (in_context(ZP_ALBUM)) {

include("$themepath/$theme/album.php");

} else if...

`

The one with the folder check has to come before the one without.

Good luck!

Could this work with sub-albums, using `getParent`?

Absolutely.

Great! But...

If you have the following directory structure...

* albums

** collections
*** aw05
*** aw06
*** ss05
*** ss06
*** etc.

** press
*** elle-02.2007
*** vice-06.2006
*** etc.

... and if you wanted to use, eg. a custom `image-press.php` template for anything in the press directory, you'd need to do a check for every possible parent (elle, vice, etc.).

Or is there a function to check the 'root' parent?

Thanks

`getAlbumArray($album->name)` will give you an in-order array of the album path, just check the first element.

Alternatively you can just search for the folder name in the path;
`if (strpos($album->name, "myalbumname/") !== false)`
Either way will work.
