Hi there,
I hope somebody could help me. I need to get the name of the parent album in my album_row template.. I break my head for hours, but all i get is the parent id and the name of the target album.
The target is to show album titles which are an merge between the parent_name and the album_name:
"parent_name - album_name" --> "nice views - Norway"

Thanks for your Help
Igor

Hello,
at this moment I tried this.
Snippet:

<?php
// add class to work with gallery extra
$gallery = $modx->getService('gallery','Gallery',$modx->getOption('gallery.core_path',null,$modx->getOption('core_path').'components/gallery/').'model/gallery/',$scriptProperties);
if (!($gallery instanceof Gallery)) return '';

// get id of album
$parent = $modx->getOption('parent',$scriptProperties,0);
if (empty($parent)) return 'no id';

// make query
$c = $modx->newQuery('galAlbum');
$c->where(array(
    'id' => $parent,
));

$item = $modx->getObject('galAlbum',$c);

// get result
if (!empty($item)) {
    $output = $item->get('name');
}
else {
    $output = 'empty';
}
return $output;

in my chunk I use:

[[!albumname? &parent=`[[+parent]]`]]

I think it's not the fastest way to do this, but at the moment the only one I could find.
Anyone a better idea?

Cheers
Igor

Call of GalleryAlbum snippet:

<div id="gallery" class="gallery">
[[!GalleryAlbums? [[!If?  &subject=`[[!*parent_gallery]]` &operator=`notempty` &then=`&parent=`[[!*parent_gallery]]` &prominentOnly=`0` &showAll=`0` ` &else=`&prominentOnly=`1` `]] &albumCoverSort=`rank` &rowTpl=`AlbumRowTpl` &thumbWidth=`200` &thumbHeight=`200` &toPlaceholder=`GalleryAlbums`]]

[[!Gallery? &thumbTpl=`ItemThumb[[!get_nojs?]]` &containerTpl=`AlbumTpl[[!get_nojs?]]` &checkForRequestTagVar=`1`  &thumbWidth=`200` &thumbHeight=`200` &thumbFar=`C` &thumbZoomCrop=`0` &imageWidth=`800` &imageHeight=`800` &dir=`ASC`  &useCss=`0` &toPlaceholder=`Gallery`]]

   [[!If? &subject=`[[+Gallery]]` &operator=`isempty` &then=`
            <h1>[[*longtitle]]</h1>
            <p>[[*description]]</p>
            [[+GalleryAlbums]]
        
        ` &else=`
           
            [[+Gallery]]
            
        `]]
</div>

galAlbumRowTpl:

<div class="albumPreview">
    <h3>[[+parent]] - [[+name]]</h3>
    <div class="thumb">
        <a href="[[~2]]/nojs/album/[[+name:urlencode]]/"><img src="[[+image]]" alt="[[+name]]"/></a>
    </div>
    <div class="desc">
        [[+description]]
    </div>
</div>
