Provide 'generic' album menu allowing diversion to parent album set

I use over a hundred album sets and each hold a selection of customer albums. The single generic album set menu is straight forward allowing a return to my main website page. However I need a single generic menu to provide  a link from every album to its parent album set page. The current option when creating a menu for an album is to choose a specific album set from a list of existing album sets, but this means I would have to create a different album menu  for every customer. Is there any way I could use the URL option to enter some appropriate code to divert to the next level up which would be the parent album set?

I know I could use the breadcrumb method but this shows Galleries as the top menu and I do not wish my customers to be able to view all my galleries as these will be a mix of weddings, commercial, and real estate work. I would be very grateful for any suggestions.
Regards
Ed

Re: Provide 'generic' album menu allowing diversion to parent album set

Hi Ed, if I've understood you correctly, this was brought up in another topic: http://community.theturninggate.net/vie … hp?id=6903

The short answer is: It's complicated, and not readily doable.  The long answer gets technical, and has much to do with how the menu code was built.

One option is to include a back link in your Page Copy, e.g. with this code:

<a href="../">Back</a>

I have gone for the 'Back' button method as suggested and it works fine. Thank's for the help Ben
Kind regards
