Limit amount of galleries shown in a album

@squazz – To limit the number of galleries shown in an album you can simply edit the album to not include them, create a new album that does not include the galleries you do not want to display and use that “new” album, or when inserting the album display using the IGW you can exclude specific galleries using the Sort / Exclude panel.

Thanks!

Yeah, I know that, but I’m also pretty sure that my userbase/customers will forget this at some point. Wrecking the layout.

@squazz – What are you expecting as their work-flow that would break the layout(s)?

– Cais.

@photocrati – I will take another point of view for a moment.

I am working on this page: https://beta.musalaha.org/participants/children/

What i want to do here is to show the 3 latest albums, not more.

At the moment this is solved by the following code:

$album = $nggdb->find_album($albumID);
                    if($album) {
                        foreach( $album->gallery_ids as $galleryid ){
                            $gallery = $nggdb->find_gallery($galleryid);
                            $galleries[$galleryid]['title'] = $gallery->title;
                            $galleries[$galleryid]['url'] = get_bloginfo('url') . 'participants/'. $eventCategory .'/galleries/?album=all&gallery=' . $galleryid;
                        }
                        $i = 1;
                        foreach($galleries as $category){
                            echo '<a href="' . $category['url'] . '">' . $category['title'] . '</a><br />';
                            if ($i++ == 3) break;
                        }
                    } else {
                        echo 'No galleries at this time, sorry :/';
                    }

But I was wondering of NextGen Galleries had a way to do this, in stead of me having to code it myself.

@squazz – We do not have a “Recent Albums” display (which makes for a very interesting idea … well done!) so your approach could very well be one of the most appropriate.

Can you share that code snippet above in the context of the complete template? A link to a “pastebin”, “Gist”, or something similar would be great.

Thanks!

– Cais.

If you promise that it will be included in the free, and not the premium version, then yes ??

@squazz – This is a community forum and for the support of the NextGEN Gallery plugin hosted on WordPress. If you do not wish to share your template that is your choice.

Thanks!

– Cais.

haha, I sure do will share my template. I just wanted to make sure that if you put it into the plugin, that everybody would get to use it ??

Here’s the code: https://gist.github.com/Squazz/1cf23330cc1a8ed2bd83

@squazz – That is completely understandable and would be best all around … but in the meantime your share will allow them to use it now.

Thanks, again!

– Cais.
