Album Select Module

Compact album lists make it easy to navigate directly to any album.

Description

Makes blocks available to themes for jumping directly to any album in the gallery.

Features

  • Shows a list of all albums visible to the current user
  • Shows either a very compact drop-down list or a browseable tree menu

Usage

  • Download the module from the download page if necessary. The minimal and typical package of G2 don't include this module.
  • Install and activate the module in site admin -> plugins
  • Configure some settings in site admin -> album select
  • Add the Album quick links block to your sidebar in site admin -> themes -> matrix (or for any other active/used theme). You can choose Dropdown (select from list) or DHTML (dynamic tree view) type of block.
  • Now you and the visitors of your site see a album select block in your sidebar in all album / photo pages.

FAQ

Why are the albums not sorted correctly?

Sorting the albums in the same order they are shown in the gallery makes loading pages with the album select block a little slower. That's why this sorting is disabled by default (sorting the entire list alphabetically or by manual sort order is faster). You can select the sorting method in Site Admin -> Album Select
