Hello,
how can I set it up that I have a "code block" from the modules: code_block only on a lower level of an album.
example:
Home (1. Level) - Spring Album (2. Level) - April Album (3. Level) - Photo Page
...
...

The "code block" should appear only on the albums in the third level in the Info Box.

If it isn't already in the database somewhere, then I'm afraid you are going to have to count your way up/down the albums. I needed to do something similar some time ago (determine the level) and I've noted that I had to refer to the gallery helper item::find_by_path function. You might want to start by doing likewise.

Sounds more like a case for the custom fields module. Or just adding some text the the album discription? Adding such narrow functionality is not something I would like to add as it is only for one user and then makes it hard to maintain in the future.

Hi dave,
that is correct. it is very special. But again not specifically.
I have already noticed that there is no distinction between main album "Home" and sub-albums, which is a bit of a disadvantage. It makes the design too general.
Using the description would be a possibility, since it is separated for each album. But first, I have my Gallery so adjusted that the description is in the main (Description over the thumbs and under the photos), and secondly, the content would I want to put in this code box does not match the description, it must be separate. and thirdly, I 've taken the opportunity to use the description for something similar.
And last of all: it should not be an extra for each album, but only for the levels of sub-albums.

I can sometimes explain why, that is the idea behind it.
In the main albums are few thumbs, so the page is not very high. In the sub-albums are many thumbs, so the site is very high. This height can I use in the info box for more information.

But to make it not too hard to make and keep general might be a second description box a general solution.

This is just an idea. Maybe they have several.
