Gallery - Set to display latest album

Revo 2.3.2
Gallery 1.7.0-pl

What should I put in the &album=` ` in order to show the latest album by default.

[[!Gallery? &album=`1` &toPlaceholder=`gallery` &plugin=`slimbox` &slimboxUseCss=`1` &slimboxRenderJsOnStartup=`1` &thumbWidth=`112` &thumbHeight=`112` &imageWidth=`829` &imageHeight=`829`]]

There is only one album at the moment so &album=`1` seems fine. But when my client adds a new album they will expect it to be shown, not the older album.

You need to grab the latest albums ID so using the 'GalleryAlbums' snippet should do the trick:
```
[[!Gallery?
&album=`[[!GalleryAlbums? &sort=`createdon` &limit=`1` &rowTpl=`galTplId`]]`
&toPlaceholder=`gallery`
&plugin=`slimbox`
&slimboxUseCss=`1`
&slimboxRenderJsOnStartup=`1`
&thumbWidth=`112`
&thumbHeight=`112`
&imageWidth=`829`
&imageHeight=`829`]]
```
galTplId chunk:
```
[[+id]]
```
There are better ways of doing this but depends how your Gallery is displayed in the front end.
