Gallery sub albums [SOLVED]

Hi,

I am using the gallery with galariffic plugin.
I have created the "GalleryAlbums" and gave it a rowTpl (chunk).
As for displaying all the albums, that works perfectly.

The problem I am having is that i want to differenciate between main albums and its sub albums.

Here is my chunk?

<li[[+cls:notempty=``]]>
<a href="[[~[[*id]]? &[[+albumRequestVar]]=`[[+id]]`]]">
[[+name]]</li>

this is the output i want:

<li>
<a>main album 1</a>
<ul><li>sub album 1></li><li>sub album 2></li></ul>
</li>
<li>
<a>main album 2</a>
<ul><li>sub album 1></li><li>sub album 2></li></ul>
</li>

How do i do that?

I'd like to know this as well - since I am also working on something very similiar to this.. Right now when I select a Gallery and choose the parent Gallery it shows all Gallery even if it is a different parent.

Something like this should do the trick:

<ul>
[[GalleryAlbums? &parent=`0` &showAll=`0` &rowTpl=`gallery-parent-tpl`]]
</ul>

Then in the gallery-parent-tpl chunk call galleryAlbums again, something along these lines should suit your need:

<li>
  <a>[[+name]]</a>
  <ul>
      [[GalleryAlbums? &parent=`[[+id]]` &showAll=`0` &rowTpl=`gallery-sub-tpl`]]
   </ul>
</li>

where gallery-sub-tpl is just a list like the chunk you posted:

<li[[+cls:notempty=``]]>
<a href="[[~[[*id]]? &[[+albumRequestVar]]=`[[+id]]`]]">
[[+name]]</li>

Mark, this seems to work well.
A bit of tweaking, but otherwise, great.

If there was anything wrong in the code I posted (didn't actually test it), I'd appreciate if you could point it out so we can help others who find this thread months from now as well

HI Mark,

I am still having some issues with the manager itself. Once I get that sorted, I will post my code as in regards to this thread.

hi mark,

I pretty much did as you wrote above.

In the sub chunk, there is a </a> missing.

it should be:

<li[[+cls:notempty=``]]>
<a href="[[~[[*id]]? &[[+albumRequestVar]]=`[[+id]]`]]">
[[+name]]</a></li>

Billy;

did you ever solve that parent thing - I am having the same problem &parent=`whatever` is selecting all galleries no matter what I do... [modx 2.2]

[[!GalleryAlbums? &parent=`5` &showall=`0` &prominentOnly=`0` &sort=`rank` &dir=`asc`]]

UPDATE:
never mind... &showall should be &showAll [ed. note: sean69 last edited this post 14 years, 7 months ago.]
