It would be nice to have gallery automatically create a text based site map showing the heirarchy of the site.

This is because it's not immediately obvious to visitors which albums have sub albums. i'm talking about just creating something simple with links IE:

root
---family pics
-----holidays
-------christmas 2000
-----parties
---nature pics
-----yosemite
-----yellowstone

what do you think? I know this shouldn't be hard for the developers to throw together.

I think I've worked out a hack for this.

Edit config.php.
find the line
$gallery->app->showAlbumTree = "no";

and change it to
$gallery->app->showAlbumTree = "yes";

[you can also use the confuration wizrd, if you prefer]

ok I will admit that i wasn't aware of that feature and I'm a big jackass.

However (i could be wrong again), it doesn't give me any option of where I want the information or how I want it displayed. For example, I have 3 main albums, one of which contains over 50 sub albums. this means a huuuuuuuge listing of text on the right hand side and only the one highlight photo on the left. The alignment is really off, and the album listing on the right hand side wraps weirdly when there is plenty of room for the full line of text.

What i'm looking for is an entirely separate page containing these links. Or maybe enabling this feature on a per album basis that can be applied to all children, just like the other album settings.

Check it out on a gallery that has many layers, somewhat long gallery names and you will see what I mean. I will try to provide a link so you can see what i'm talking about.

The Customization Forum would probably be a good place to start...
