My brother and I both have gallery 1.4.4-RC3 up and running. Is it possible for me to create an album on my site and when a user clicks to view the album a link sends them to my brother's site. It seems like this should be a simple hack, but I'm just not sure where to do it. Our sites on hosted on the same server at our house if that makes a difference. Any help would be appreciated.

ngianos,
You can't do that with images (copying albums form another install) but you could copy some of his images and in the album discription add a link to his album. Does that make sence?

Or you can test some functionality here:
http://langleycom.com/g1/albums.php and click the "Redirect test" album.
What you can do is:
create an album.
Add a photo for the highlight image.
In the album properties FAQ Gallery:c.34 add this to the album summery <meta http-equiv="refresh"content="5;url=http://bla.bla_bla.com/">
You will need to change the url to the site you want to go to and once it is working right change the 5 to a 0.

Thanks floridave. That's more or less what I was looking for and it works perfectly.

Another method is to add this to view_album.php 

if ($gallery->session->albumName == "redirect") {
	header("Location: http://gallery.menalto.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&p=85781#85781");
	exit;
}

just before the the code sends the doctype if not embedded or further up in you are in a embedded enviroment 

if (!$GALLERY_EMBEDDED_INSIDE) {
	doctype();

You need to change the albumName and the URL that you want the user to go to.

This is great, Dave. What do you do if you need to change the url after you've reset the redirect time to 0?

Hi,
I know this is an old post but I am still using 1.5.8 and none of the above tips work.
I must be doing it wrong.
I have only just got 1.5.8 working after upgrading from v1.4.3-pl2 and dont want to have to go through it all again just yet.
I want to link a album to a RIP page without affecting other albums.
Any ideas would be great.

Thanks

I don't have a working G1 install at this time but:
add this to the album summery <meta http-equiv="refresh"content="5;url=http://bla.bla_bla.com/">
should work.
You will need to change the url to the site you want to go to and once it is working right change the 5 to a 0.

Actually I just tested and it appears that HTML is getting filtered out in current versions.

Also, I don't use G1 anymore and just have one install I've been lazy to convert. It took me 20 minutes just to reset my password and I can't remember where the heck anything is.

Dave says he's going to come up with some fix.

I will have to install 1.5.8 to see if this works:

$currentAlbum = $gallery->album->fields["name"];
switch ($currentAlbum) {
case "album01":
print '<meta http-equiv="refresh"content="5;url=http://bla.bla_bla.com/album1/">';
break;
case "album02":
print '<meta http-equiv="refresh"content="5;url=http://bla.bla_bla.com/album2/">';
break;

that would go in view_album.php

not much time to install G1....working on G3.
