[solved] How to remove slideshow option in main gallery

Hello,

I've been viewing around and trying my very beste the whole day, but I really don't know how to remove or hide the slideshow lin on my main gallery site. As there are only nested albums there is no use of this link. Does anybody have an idea?

Thanks in advance!

You know, I always thought this was a bit odd, showing the slideshow option on album pages and then being told you cannot view albums...

Regards Steve

In the Site Admin area edit your chosen Gallery Theme setup area so that Item actions only appears in the PHOTO block... That way, without any programming, your slideshow link only shows when there is a picture.

The link in this post points to a modified ItemLinks.tpl file that does exactly what is requested here.

icpix, if I understand your workaround, the slideshow link is only shown on a photo page? But it can be useful to have it also on an album page, if there are photos in the album to show (so not an empty album or an album with only sub-albums).

thanks, this worked fine.
I'll try the other suggestions later on!

Well, but what I really wanted is, to have the Element options in the side menu only if there is a photo in the gallery. Ist there any option? Because in my albums there are only subalbums or photos but never both mixed together.

I love the idea of removing the "View Slideshow" link on albums that do not have any photos in them, but this also removes the "View Slideshow" link from the actual photo pages too. Is there a way to not have it remove the view slideshow from only the album pages?
Thanks!

Bluenova, glad you liked it.
I don't have the cart module on my site, so I can't help you with that one. Try searching the forums, or start a new topic, coz in this thread your request probably will not be found (too different from original topic, although the solution migh be very similar; you could put a link in the new topic to this solution)

How is this solved if:

Isnt that the point? To have no slideshow icon because there are no photos, only albums, and not having it on the photo pages is not the solution, too.

*bump*

After all I've read here, everyone using slideshow in Gallery2 (and that should be quite a few people) have the same problem: the "view slideshow" shows on the root level of the gallery, but doesn't work (at least in the sidebar).

Is there a way to remove that?

Thank you for your help.

In case you need the link to my gallery in order to answer my help requests:

I would like a fix for this too.

Doesn't make sense for Gallery to display the "View Slideshow" on the Album level if there are no pictures there to do a Slideshow.

Using the code shown by @grasshopper, I managed to solve this problem in 2.2.4 (works for me anyway).

Basically, this is the content of my file located here:
/modules/core/templates/blocks/local/ItemLinks.tpl

Note that the new slideshow-related code is located under the second {foreach from=$links item="link"} bit.

Hope this works for everyone else too.
