Hello all,

I was asking myself if it was possible to show items in the albums and sub-albums, and not albums...

Thanks

You have to provide a better user story for me to understand what you are after.

Sorry and Thanks for your quick answer.

I am using G2 embedde into Joomla, everything is perfect but I would actually like to show on my site only items in albums. For now, G2 (as I am using it) shows albums, then you click on it and inside the album you have the pictures (or other files). On the first page you have albums from users but I would like to show the items contained in their albums, not the folder. It sounds confused when I try to explain but actually it is not.

An exemple;

-Album 1 :
. item 11
. item 12
. item 13
-Album 2 :
. item 21
. item 22
. item 23

The gallery shows on the firts page a list of the albums (Album 1, Album 2, ...), then you click on an album and you acces the items inside.

I would like to have on the firts page a list of the items only ( item11, item 12, item 13, item 21, item 22, item 33,....), and when you click on an item, you view his full size or see the flash player for sounds or videos,...
Actually it's skipping the firts page and having all the items in all albums on the firts page...

I dont know if it is clear, hope so.
I woul also like to know if it is possible not to allow users to create new albums. In my site an album is automatically created for new users, I would like them to have only one album and no sub-albums.

Thanks for taking the time to answer.

The root album ( http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery2:Root_Album ) is like any other album. You can add items to that album as well. So move items 11,12,13,21,22,23 to the root album.

I think the jens permissions module will allow you to change permissions on user albums to not allow them to create sub-albums.
