Nesting albums in CE4

dmward · 2014-09-08 03:59:33

I've searched around the documentation and the forum and can't seem to find the answer about how to set this up.

On the site (using CE4) ( http://davidmward.photography ) I would like to have the menu function with this structure:

portfolios
Gallery 1
album 1
album 2
Gallery 2
album 1
album 2

I would like all the albums to be publishable and updatable via publisher.

I have auto-index, as well as pages and stage. The main site was created using pages, which, if I understand correctly means that the Gallery page is an auto-index structure.

In your scenario above, Gallery 1 and 2 would be Album Sets. Use Autoindex to create the Album Set templates

Thanks Rob.
I think I've got it working properly

One thing i've noticed is that the nesting does not extend to the navigation menu.
How is that accomplished?

first enable multi-level navigation in the Site Info > Navigation Container

then you'll need to enable phplugins: http://ce4.theturninggate.net/docs/doku … _phplugins
and enable the section in the phplugins file that starts with this:

/* DELETE THIS LINE
// SITE-WIDE "DROP-DOWN" NAVIGATION MENU
// This function establishes a site-wide navigation menu using pseudo-absolute URLs (beginning "/")
// -- portable, domain agnostic, and without the location limitations of relative URLs.
// Serves as an example of a function being applied globally.
// Utilizes the auto index script to list galleries in a specified location as a drop-menu.

The autoindex script will look inside the galleries/ folder and will add anything it finds in that folder only to the drop down list.

so again referring to your example above, the only items that will appear in the drop-down are "Gallery 1" and "Gallery 2"

If you need the navigation to go deeper, there will be some hand coding involved. See this thread:
