I have a site structure which is this

galleryroot --> albums --> photos etc

However the way I interface with the gallery is to not use the root but jump into the albums bit. Each album is called something different.

I would like to know if there is a smartytag code for the "album you are currently in" so that I can use it as the page title. Currently I use this {$theme.item.title|markup} but that gives the title of the current object.

Thanks for your time!

If you put Gallery into debug mode you can see all the Smarty variable information available to you in the Smarty Debug popup window:

Utterly brilliant. Dave you are a genius! Code I used from the above link to capture the album one above root. 

{foreach name=parent from=$theme.parents item=parent}
   {if $smarty.foreach.parent.total ==1}
   {* DISPLAY CURRENT ALBUM TITLE *}
    <p><a href="">{$theme.item.title|default:$theme.item.pathComponent|markup:strip}</a></p>
   {elseif $smarty.foreach.parent.iteration ==2}
    {* DISPLAY FIRST CHILD AFTER ROOT OF CURRENT ALBUM TREE *}
   <p><a href=""> {$parent.title|markup:strip|default:$parent.pathComponent}</a></p>
  {/if}
{/foreach}

I added the href so I can link back to my home page using the title.

I also came up with this last night which almost achieves the same thing and might be useful for someone else. If its an album display the name of the album. If its a photo display the parent album. 

{if $theme.pageType == 'album'}
	<p><a href="">{$theme.item.title|markup}</a></p>
{elseif $theme.pageType == 'photo'}
	<p><a href="">{$theme.parent.title|markup}</a></p>
{/if}
