Hello,

The capability to dynamically attribute photos to albums based on their tags was for me one of the decisive features of why Piwigo was superior to other open source photo library software. It did not matter that this capability was achieved by a "smartalbums" plugin.

Yet, in the meantime this particular plugin seems to be not updated any longer and it works with the newest Piwigo version only in combination with the PHP 7.4 version, which itself is deprecated and thus insecure. It does not work with php 8 at all.

I propose to update and include the smartalbums code into the main version of Piwigo and thus to secure this wonderful functionality for good for the future. For larger photo libraries this functionality is essential!

Best wishes,
Vishap
