i just searched the board and had to realize that it is impossible to create subalbums!!? :\'(
i read this thread and thought i had to post that i definitely think that it would be a nice & necessary feature.
Well its like Nibbler pointed out. You don't stick the weddingpictures album into the rockclimbing album for example.
yeah thats true. BUT what if you had two photographers on the wedding, and after one week you get anoter set of 100 pics - you would have to put these pics in the same album. so all users that already viewed the first pics would have to go through them again. (okay you can sort by filedate, but that's not a nice solution on separating the pics.)
the point is that i don't need subalbums in every album but only sometimes (e.g. when i have two photographers on an event)
so i can't use subcategories because i cannot sort them in the way i would like!
If you want a subalbum structure you could try this:
Category
Album
Subcategory
Album
Album
Album
That would give you some sort of subalbum idea.
that would be fine with me, but is it really possible?
i would need it like this:
Category
Album
Subcategory (including some albums)
Album
Album
the problem is that the subcategories always show up underneath the other albums in the category, so you can't use it when you want to order your galleries by the date of the event.
i hope you unterstand what i mean. see my
test-gallery there you should see what i mean.
looking forward to read what you think about it. i really think this feature should be possible somehow.. otherwise i will have to try
gallery 1 or 2 - where subalbums are a standard feature. wouldnt be happy with this because i already fell in love with coppermine
