Ok, I kind of sorted it out now ??

I did it a little bit different. I created a category template like you did and showing the exterp instead of the content. So I can choose my thumbnail to show as a cover, when clicking on it it will take you to the gallerie index. Works great ?? Thanks a lot!

One last thing I want is a nice random image plugin (widget) in my sidebar witch will display a few random pictures from posts in the gallery category. But I see you are not using this. But ma.tt has it working in the sidebar.

@jtonline:

When you post an album, do you make 2 different posts? Because at the album index you have a thumbnail with description. After clicking the image gallery is different and the thumbnail isn’t in the post anymore :/

I also managed to get the total number of images to work. But also this works only on the single post view, and not in the post index.

<?php if ( in_category(‘4’) ): ?>
This album contains: <?php echo $wpdb->get_var( “SELECT COUNT(*) FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_parent = ‘$post->ID’ AND post_type = ‘attachment'” ); ?> pics.

This is not in a different template, but the single.php
Doesn’t work on index

@jtonline:

What file should I copy and rename to category-$catid.php? If I create a whole new template it only changes de layout of the post on single pages only. Not in the main index.

Ok, thanks jtonline ?? That works great.

1 Thing left.. I’m looking for a code / widget that shows a random image from all wordpress galleries and also links to the generated image.

No one?

Look for the <!– navigation START –> comment in the header.php I mentioned above. After that comment line the menu can be customized.

You should know a little bit html or php to do this.

This doesn’t work in image.php

Does any one know how to get it get to work there?

@pstagg

I only think that you have confused previous & next ??

I also really hope that something like that is becoming available for public use. That’s the whole idea of WordPress, isn’t it ??

But I took a look at the YAPB plugin, that’s more for people shooting a single image every day and post that.. I have about 5000 images to upload and sort into albums. Not really a blog thing but more an album/gallery. And then we are pointing to Matt and Shane again.

Oh yeah, I tried nextgen gallery btw. But it doesn’t have some things I really need, like single picture commenting, and the simple creation of single album posts.

Besides that the unknown script mentioned in my posts above make use of the wordpress galleries function, so it’s nicely integrated in your blog. Posts are albums at the same time.

Thanks for the reply.. It could be a custom gallery, but why don’t share it like the whole wordpress idea :/

Besides that, I found another website using exact the same techniques and style: https://www.shane-holden.com/category/gallery

There was also another blog with that same script.

I tried to contact all of those guys who used it, but I didn’t get any comment back ??

Any updates?

What I did is go to the themes/inove/templates/header.php

Remove the whole automatic menu generation and create my own menu.

Then you can also change the order easy, create new links, or hide links you don’t want to show.

never mind.
