Load all galleries belonging to a specific album

@koolmind – One way to get details of what gallery ID are in an album is simply use var_dump( $album ); within an album template. The gallery ID’s can be resolved from the “sortorder” element, for example.

Have a look inside the templates here: /products/photocrati_nextgen/modules/ngglegacy/view

I will try… but I believe I’ve not been so clear.
I don’t want to use nextgent templates, I need to use my own fetch function into functions.php

I will let you know asap

Inside /products/photocrati_nextgen/modules/ngglegacy/view/album-compact.php there’s no $album variable. I can only read the $galleries variabile that contains what I need… but I need to know how it’s filled in.

Thanks

From the album-compact.php template’s header:

$album : Contain information about the first album
$albums : Contain information about all albums
$galleries : Contain all galleries inside this album
$pagination : Contain the pagination content

Are you not able to see or use all of those variables? To sort out how they are being populated, you can back-trace the code from this file (as a starting point):
products/photocrati_nextgen/modules/nextgen_basic_album/templates/compact.php

I believe there’s a misunderstanding.

Looking for all variables, I found that the only file that contains something interesting for me is \products\photocrati_nextgen\modules\ngglegacy\lib\ngg-db.php

There’s a function called find_images_in_album() that somehow returns the list of the images in my album (I have to test it… not sure). It would be great if this function could list gallery name too!

I believe that all information I need must be found into a controller, not a template file.

@koolmind – Although we include NextGEN Legacy based templates in NextGEN Gallery we do not actively support the creation of new custom templates.

You appear to have traced the code to what you want to work with, beyond that point if there is a specific data item you are not able to access then I would suggest sending us a message via our Contact form here: https://www.nextgen-gallery.com/contact with a reference to the code you are trying to work with. We can then forward it to a developer to review when their schedule allows.

I solved my problem!
That’s what I did:

$myalbum = nggdb::find_album( $album_id );
$mygals = $myalbum->gallery_ids;

foreach ($mygals as $G):
// list photos
endforeach;

@koolmind – Well Done!! I would have expected it to be much more complicated.

Thanks for the update!
