Title of Album in the masthead

Is there a way to put automatically the title of an album in the masthead before the COMPANY_NAME?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Re: Title of Album in the masthead

Not via the template configuration, but could probably be accomplished using PHPlugins and jQuery. Do you have any level of comfort with either of these things, or would you require assistance with that?

Thanks for your response!
I know how to replace the mast head via PHPlugin, but I don’t know how to address a variable for the album title.

Re: Title of Album in the masthead

My current replacement via PHPplugin looks like this:

function ttg_header_top( $style, $path ) {
    echo '
    <h1><a href="start.html">designladen.com – Fotos</a></h1>
    ';
    return false;
}

How do I insert a variable für the album title?

Thank you!

Re: Title of Album in the masthead

Untested, but I believe this should work:

	if ($this->hasAlbum()) {
		echo '<p>';
		echo 'Album Title: '.$this->album->getTitle().'<br/>';
		echo 'Album Description: '.$this->album->getDescription().'<br/>';
		echo 'Number of photos: '.$this->album->getNumberOfPhotos().'<br/';
		echo '</p>';
	}

Re: Title of Album in the masthead

Thanks a lot! How do I integrate this in my header function?

function ttg_header_top( $style, $path ) {
    echo '
    <h1><a href="start.html">designladen.com</a></h1>
    ';
    return false;
}

All my tries  produce errors like "Using $this when not in object context …"
i’m unfortunately not a great PHP-geek … :-/

Re: Title of Album in the masthead

My apologies, but massive brain far. This is PHPlugins functionality coming in Backlight 2. I don't think the Album Title is accessible this way in Backlight 1.

If you can wait, this will be easier to do when Backlight 2 is released and you've upgraded.

If you need this now, then you will probably need to use jQuery to find the album title elsewhere on the page, then append it to the header. How to find it with jQuery is semi-dependent on your template configuration, so I would need to see a link to one of your galleries in order to advise you.
