Hi
I'm thinking of moving my walking clubs trip reports (which are a mix of images with captions and a trip write up) from Jalbum to Piwigo the only thing that's stopping me is I cant think of a way to include a page for the write up that is specific to the trip album. The page would have to be accessed from within the trip album
If I can do this it's a goer
Any thoughts on how I could achieve this

if I understand this can help you : [extension by P@t] Additional Pages

IGraham · 2012-09-02 14:42:09

Hello mistic100, thanks for the reply

The Pages plugin I already use on the Piwigo site I already have, it gives the option of extra pages for the full site, but doesn't give the option of pages connected to and accessible only from a specific album
I think I'm going to have to look at altering a theme to get what I want. I quite like flop25's 'Pure' themes and I'm hoping its not to hard to place a 'pages' link just above the images in a album - a mini menu to access any pages and the images screen itself. The attached image is what I'm thinking of
Of course these things are never as easy as hoped but I'll give it a go

Or if you have any better ideas (wishful thinking maybe)

you can disable Additional Pages menu, so pages are not directly accesible, and add a link to the page in the album description (and why not a backlink to the album in your page)

Ok
time to start setting things up and playing
dont hang around holding your breath though

I didn't look at your mockup, here is a proposal

in your local css rules

Code:

#myMenu {
  list-style:none;
  background:rgb(0, 250, 0);
  width:100%;
}
#myMenu li {
  display:inline-block;
  width:150px;
  color:rgba(0, 0, 255);
  padding:2px 10px;
  border:1px solid #000;
}

in your pages and album descriptions:

Code:

<ul id="myMenu">
  <li><a href="link to page 1">Page 1</a></li>
  <li><a href="link to page 2">Page 2</a></li>
  <li><a href="link to album">Images</a></li>
</ul>

(not optimized and colors are weird)

Well I've moved on a little with this but reached the point were I needed expert help regards the 'pages' extension, I emailed P@t but unfortunately got no reply. The three images show what I have so far.

So I've now got a album with a top bar menu, when I click one of the links a page will open, this page also has a top menu with a link back to the album images - this bit as yet doesn't work and I'm not to sure how to make it work, also note that the 'page' path is not related to the album. I have no experience of working with database driven systems .
If this works I'll be creating quite a lot of albums - at least 12 a year and I already have ten years worth of albums to convert, which means a lot of pages, eventually that might mean looking after the pages could become difficult. And the actual image page has no top menu - which might be nice just for consistency.
I'm still wondering if this is possible

Any thoughts or help much appreciated

without manual intervention on each page it needs a additional plugin (something that stores link between albums and pages and generate a menu)

it's not very hard but asks some hours

flop25 · 2012-09-11 13:25:43

Maybe the plugin Evil Plugin could be improved by adding such a link between a article and an album ?

Been trying to reply to this for a while but my super dooper android tablet 'said no'

hello Mistic

I was sort of hoping that some hero would put a tentative toe in the water, do you by any chance think you could spare the hours ?

theres no big hurry to get this working i can continue with the jalbum/flash methord for now - even if it doesn't work on android and flash is on its way out

flop25
uummm didn't concider that at all, i'll have a look - wonder how friendly EvilKant is

Dolphin Browser ? It happened for me once

I've notified EvilKant. He's not so evil ^^

EvilKant · 2012-09-11 21:19:08

I'm here! I suffered google-translate few time, but still not sure what I realy understand what IGraham wants.

In futures versions of Evil_Blog I think do functions for inserting pictures and links from albums, but when will that be?

No, look at the screenshot : it's about to link an album and a article, then display a link of that linked post on article of the album.
In what language are you the most comfortable between Fr and En?

EvilKant · 2012-09-11 21:31:32

IGraham, you can use description of album. It will looks like here (adult content) http://picmun.ru/index.php?/category/11 . Not the same as you like, but you will be able to write articles for albums.
