Hi,

I’m probably missing something but I can’t display the name and description of the album when on it

Here’s the url

mysite/media/?galAlbum=2

And I can see the thumbnails

Here is the code I use. See comments for the problem

<!-- to placeholder -->
[[!GalleryAlbums? &toPlaceholder=`GalleryAlbums` &limit=`0` &albumCoverSort=`rank` &prominentOnly=`0` &rowTpl=`ChicoGalAlbumRowTpl` &thumbWidth=`195` &thumbHeight=`140`]]
  
<!-- to placeholder -->
[[!Gallery? &checkForRequestTagVar=`1` &toPlaceholder=`Gallery` &useCss=`0`]]

<!-- If gallery empty show albums -->
[[!If? &subject=`[[+Gallery]]` &operator=`isempty` &then=`
    
    <!--  This works    -->
    <h1>[[*pagetitle]]</h1>
    [[*content]]
    [[+GalleryAlbums]]

` &else=`
    <!-- !!!Show Album !!! gallery name and descriptipn are not shown but the thubnails are displayed-->
    <h1>[[+gallery.name]]</h1>
    <p>[[+gallery.description]]</p>
    [[+Gallery]]
    
`]]

Thanks

Here’s what worked

[[!GalleryAlbums? &toPlaceholder=`GalleryAlbums` &limit=`0` &albumCoverSort=`rank` &prominentOnly=`0` &rowTpl=`GalAlbumRowTpl` &thumbWidth=`195` &thumbHeight=`140`]]
          
        [[!Gallery? &checkForRequestTagVar=`1` &toPlaceholder=`Gallery` &useCss=`0` &containerTpl=`GalleryAlbumTpl`]]
        
        [[!If? &subject=`[[+Gallery]]` &operator=`isempty` &then=`
            
            <h1>[[*pagetitle]]</h1>
            [[*content]]
            [[+GalleryAlbums]]
        
        ` &else=`
           
            
            [[+Gallery]]
            
        `]]

I had to add the GalleryAlbumTpl to the call

<h1>[[+album_name]]</h1>
<p>[[+album_description]]</p>
[[+thumbnails]]

Thanks for the tip! Helped out with my project heaps since I couldn't find any other information regarding the album name.
