pandianbe,

What is the link to your site again? I need to see where to place this code for your theme.

Try this pandianbe,

Open your 'collections.php' in the default theme folder (which I think you are using) and look for the following lines:
print plogger_get_collection_name().' <br/>';
print '<div class="meta-header">(';
Between those two lines add the following code so it looks like this:
print plogger_get_collection_name().' <br/>';

// BEGIN album link output
$album_links = array();
plogger_init_albums(array(
'from' => 0,
'limit' => 1000,
'collection_id' => plogger_get_collection_id(),
'sortby' => 'id',
'sortdir' => 'DESC'));
if(plogger_has_albums()) {
while(plogger_has_albums()){
plogger_load_album();
$album_links[] = '<a href="'.plogger_get_album_url().'">'.plogger_get_album_name().'</a>';
}
}
echo implode('&nbsp;|&nbsp;', $album_links);
// END album link output

print '<div class="meta-header">(';

That should do it for you.

Oops! I forgot to clear out the $album_links array. I've edited my code above. Look for the second line of my new code:
$album_links = array();

Pandian -

To sort the links alphabetically, you need to change
'sortby' => 'id',
'sortdir' => 'DESC'));
to
'sortby' => 'name',
'sortdir' => 'ASC'));
With regard to your layout issues, the other site is using a table to accomplish that gallery design, rather than a layout using divs. You'll need to play around with your template to try and get things lined up the way you want them.

Now i implement this in Home Page. i am getting the link like http://www.homepage.com?level=album&id=5 instead of http://www.homepage.com/gallery?level=album&id=5.

Please have a look into this code:

$albumurl= plogger_get_album_url();
$albumurl= str_replace("http://www.homepage.com.com/","http://www.homepage.com/gallery/",$albumurl);
$album_links[] = ''.plogger_get_album_name().'';

its not working for me in homepage ?????? (But work in http://www.homepage.com/gallery/)

and I need SEO Urls.

Thanks
Pandian
