Hello, I have integrated gallery2 into drupal and I am looking to do the following. My gallery is set up as such: Album1 What I need the theme to do is the following (I am basing this off of the Matrix theme) When user clicks link for Album1, they see the following: Album1.title And likewise when they follow the link for Album2 Pretty straightforward, but I am having trouble with this. Can anyone offer any insight into this? Thanks Jalder |

This is a bit confusing to me.
Looks to me like the Sub-Album1 and Sub-Album2 are at the same level with just a title separator.
Not hard to do if you keep fixed sizes of quantities of items in the album , but more complex for variable quantities.
there is a similar theme that separates subitems by date.

Hello,
That is correct, sub-album1 and sub-album2 are both sub-albums of album1. Am I going about Gallery wrong by making sub-albums, is there a way to title certain portions of an album as part of one group and other portions of an album to another, perhaps it would be more clear as such:
Photography Album
-Portraits Album
-Minimal Portraits of Interiors and Exteriors Album
Graphic Design
-Posters
-Ad Campaign
-CD Covers
So, user enters site and sees links Photography and Graphic Design, when they click Photography, they see:
Portraits Album
[ALL PORTAIT THUMBNAILS]
Minimal Portraits of Interiors and Exteriors Album
[ALL MINIMAL.. THUMNAILS]
Clearer?
Thanks!

You would need to create a custom theme that would do that.
The thing is how are you going to differentiate items and add a title between them?

I was hoping to pull it all dynamically.
I am now starting to realize how I will need to basically build this from the ground up.
Here is what I am looking to do.
Grab the Top Level Album Title (there are 2 Top level albums and X number of sub-albums)
Grab the first sub album title
list all first sub album thumbnails
Grab the second sub album title
list all second sub album thumbnails
....
thats how I was hoping to separate the items and add a title between them.
Thank you for all your time.
