    First, I have inherited this site, and know just enough about php to be dangerous. The site is avoncutouts.com. When you click on the Children link in the list running down the left, the page that comes up displays the root (Collections > > ) instead of the the collection and album (Collections > Cutouts > Children). When I click on "jump to" children, it works. The link to Children.html is just like all the other links that work, and the Children.html file is just like all the other files. I expect I am missing something obvious (maybe even a typo?) - any help will be greatly appreciated!

    I tried deleting and re-creating the album this morning to no avail. When there is a link to the album, is plogger finding the album to open from the web page name? That's the only way I could see that it would know what album to open.
    Thanks

    OK, I don't know what was going on, but my web design software was hiding a bunch of code from me, which I should have realized - still don't know why, which explains my second post above. All I was seeing were the calls to plogger. Now that I have found where the call to plogger is being made, using
    SRC="http://www.avoncutouts.com/imggallery/?level=album&id=3"
    this whole things makes a lot more sense. But I still can't find anything about determining how albums are numbered. Obviously they are numbered in the order created, but surely there is some way to get the numbering, or reset it so that it is sequential after deleting an album or two. We are working on restructuring the album for this site, and so far I have two albums in plogger that I can't figure out what their id is.

    thanks for any help.

    GALJ,

    It looks like you have the default URLs set up for Plogger which is in the format you described (http://www.avoncutouts.com/imggallery/?level=album&id=#). If you want to see what the album number is, you just go to http://www.avoncutouts.com/imggallery/and navigate to the album you would like. Then check the URL and it should tell you (otherwise, login to your SQL and check out the ID there).

    Another way to do it that will probably make your life easier is to turn on the Cruft-Free URLs (if your webhost allows mod_rewrite rules). Log in to the admin and navigate to Admin -> Options tab. Check the box next to "Generate Cruft-Free URLs:". This will create URLs like this: http://www.avoncutouts.com/imggallery/collection/album/ This will allow you to easily create nice looking URLs for your sidebar menu links.
