How do I link subgalleries to each other?
In order to link subgalleries, go to the Advanced Settings page in the gallery which you want to link from.
Select the check box to use Linked Subgalleries
Click Update
For example:
Say you have an Italy gallery. Within the Italy gallery, you have subgalleries for various Italian cities. It would be nice if people could jump directly from the Venice subgallery to the Bologna subgallery without having to go back through the main Italy gallery to get there.
The solution is to use linked subgalleries. To do this, you would edit the Italy gallery, go to the advanced settings page, select the checkbox to use linked subgalleries, and update.
Now, each of the Italy subgalleries will display a list of links to all of the other subgalleries.
All subgallery links are automatically updated whenever subgalleries are added or removed.
You can see how this was used for the sample stylesheets on PBase:
The parent gallery is www.pbase.com/stylesheets This is the gallery that has the Linked Subgalleries option selected.
All subgalleries, such as www.pbase.com/stylesheets/tarheel , display links to the other subgalleries at the top of the page. |

Copies of a Gallery
-
- When you copy a gallery or an image to another gallery, that gallery or image will now appear in both the original gallery and the gallery to which you copied it.
Don't worry, it's really the same photo displayed in two different places; you are not using twice as much disk space.
-
- For Images If the image lives in more than one gallery, only the image in the current gallery will be deleted. For Galleries If you copy a gallery to a different parent gallery, there is still only one gallery, just two paths to it. So, any changes you make will show up in both places. Let's say you have gallery C, which has two paths to reach it - one from gallery A and one from gallery B. You want to remove C from B: Edit gallery B. Select the checkbox by the listing for gallery C.... (more)
-
- It is more like there are two paths, or ways to view the image, so you are not using twice as much disk space.
-
- Because there is actually just one image with more than one path to get to it, when you make a change to the original, that change is also applied to the copy, and vice versa.
