Is there away to display the data like the following?

Album 1 Title

Album 1 Description

<<Album 1 Image 1>>
<<Album 1 Image 2>>
<<Album 1 Image 3>>

Album 2 Title

Album 2 Description

<<Album 2 Image 1>>
<<Album 2 Image 2>>
<<Album 2 Image 3>>

ect...

I was thinking something like this:

<% control Albums %>
    <h3>$AlbumName</h3>
         <p>$Description</p>
                //Some sort of logic to display the child images for each album
<% end_control %>

I hope that makes sense. Thanks in advance. This is an awesome addition to SilverStripe by the way.

Cheers,

You should be able to do this..

<% control Albums %>
$AlbumName
$Description
<ul>
<% control GalleryItems %>
$GalleryItem
<% end_control %>
</ul>
<% end_control %>

But I doubt that will work because each item needs to have its UI set. This is one of the many reasons ImageGallery needs to be re-architected. That should be very easy to do.

Right now it looks like the only way to do it is to write the markup and include the UI yourself.

<% require javascript(path/to/some/ui.js) %>
<% require css(path/to/some/ui.css) %>

<% control Albums %>
$AlbumName
$Description
<ul>
<% control GalleryItems %>
<li><a rel="some_ui" href="$Large.URL">$Thumb.URL</a></li>
<% end_control %>
</ul>
<% end_control %>
