Gallery holder page to hold multiple galleries?

18 May 2010 at 9:26am
Is there such thing as a gallery holder page? Our developer is away for 2 more days and I need an *easy* solution to create a holder page to nest multiple galleries under. This page would need to be very much like the image gallery page with a single image, title & desc. Is there a simple solution? I really should read the silverstipe book sitting on a desk nearby

Yes, the image gallery module works like this. You can create an Image Gallery Page, and that page can have multiple Albums inside it, and you can add images to any of these albums.

Thanks amped up. Sorry, I dont think i explained myself that well. What I actually need is a holder page to hold multiple galleries which in turn hold mulitple albums. So say my top level page was My Photography Portfiolio, this holds multiple galleries ( image gallery pages), which in turn hold multiple Albums of images. Basically im pretty sure its not an automatic feature of the gallery. At this stage my image gallery pages are nested under a plain page type. This needs to read the Image Gallery Pages beneath it, and return a list of image galleries with image, title and description. I fear it may be complicated ...

Ah sorry Salsy, I misread your original Post.
Yes, you would need to create a new page type like 'GalleryHolderPage' and then program it to retrieve one photo and one description from each gallery, and then display it in your template.
It'll be simple once you've done this stuff before.

See Tutorial #2 in the docs for extending basic page types. They explain this quite well using a "NewsHolder" example.

Dear UncleCheese,
Tutorial#2 is not the solution.
Cause the "ImageGallery" use one "ImageResource".
So if I separate the gallery in two or three pages,
all of those will display same set of images.Any solution to make multiple image gallery page that will display different set of images.
