    Hello,

    Does anyone know how to disable collections and just make the albums be the top level categories to choose from?

    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    I would like to know this too. I'm not sure why it's set up to where you HAVE to have collections but I would use this script if I disable that. Instead of "Collections" it should be "Albums" and if needed be possible to add sub-albums. I would like to do away with "Collections" all together, is that possible? I first was going through the files and renaming "Collections" to "Albums" but of course it still forces you to create a "collection".

    Thanks.

    ok all you have to do is make one collection and put all your albums under that... then open gallery.php and look for this line:

    $allowed_levels = array('collections','collection','album','picture','search');
    if (!in_array($GLOBALS['plogger_level'],$allowed_levels)) {
    $GLOBALS['plogger_level'] = 'collections';
    };

    and change it to something like this:

    $allowed_levels = array('collection','album','picture','search');
    if (!in_array($GLOBALS['plogger_level'],$allowed_levels)) {
    $GLOBALS['plogger_level'] = 'collection';
    $GLOBALS['plogger_id'] = 1;
    };


    then delete the "collections" parts out of the breadcrumbs in plog-functions.php but leave the link to main collection you have so that you have a way back to all the albums and that's it.

    Great tip jammindice, it'd be nice also to be able to create a 'main' album and then if needed 'sub-albums'. I'll do this in the meantime.

    Thanks.

    i'm not sure why you would create sub-albums when you have collections and albums as two levels of organization... if you are looking for some different organization check out my ploggerb3-multi version:

    HERE

    it supports 1-5 levels of organization, and the ability to do sub-albums, in progress is the ability to add a picture to multiple albums and to support no levels of organization (if only one album then go right to pictures sort of thing)

    The thing about the current 'collections' is that it forces you to first create a collection then albums underneath that. Most of the time I'll just have albums on the home page; but there are times when I would like to have a sub-album. It would be nice t have that choice instead of being forced.

    Thanks for the link I'll look into it.

    I'd like to say a big thanks for this code. I was searching all over the place for the solution. Can anyone confirm for me, though, how many places I should remove "collections" from the breadcrumbs in the plog-functions file?
