Hi there,

I run a small website and I would like to integrate a list of all my root albums into my website. Just the names with links to the gallery page is enough. Thumbnails would be nice too, but not necessary. Whats the best and easiest way to do this?

I already tested http://www.discobug.com/article.php?story=20040926215135260 and it doesnt work because of several errors.

Any hints?

Thanks

Flo

- using GalleryEmbed::getBlock():
with gallery 2.3, you can display the album-select block (and any other block) on any page on the same server.
this is enabled by the new GalleryEmbed::getBlock() function.
see: documentation -> integration -> ...

- using the X instances of the imageblock with specificItem for each of your top-level album ids.

- using a very light gallery2 theme and g2.3's new functionality to use a different theme for your integrated/embedded version of gallery.

- using an iframe plus a very simple theme.

- using an RSS feed and some other HTML/javascript widget to display the thumbs including links.

That sounds good. Where do I configure the theme for the integrated version?

Thanks

Hm, okay, I found it in the docs. But 2.3 is not out yet, right? :-(

I dont want to use some unstable snapshot release :-(
