how to link multiple albums

Post by jpdomein »

Hi, try to create a page with multiple albums.
Used to look like this on our old webpage:
https://up.picr.de/50967660lq.jpg
When clicked on a year, it shows this: (les ore more cotegories)
https://up.picr.de/50967657ux.jpg
Recreated the first one in our new webpage:
https://up.picr.de/50967658iu.jpg
I just can't link the album to the year.
Made a new menu item but that shows this:
https://up.picr.de/50967763pl.jpg
Not satisfying.
Question:
how to create the same structure again as on our old webpage?

Regards,
Jan

Hi, in my search for this problem i found that the Phoca Gallery Button could be of use.
So i download and installed it, Than i got the <class j.factory> not found error.
Turned on <Behaviour - Backward Compatibility> made no difference.
Hence both disabled again.

So i am still looking for my problem to be solved.

Regards,
Jan

Hi Jan,

What do you mean by "Phoca Gallery Button"?
That's for images in articles...

By the way, which Joomla version are you using?

Because you mentioned "Turned on <Behaviour - Backward Compatibility>". If you're upgrading from Joomla 5 to Joomla 6, this needs to be disabled.

Regarding the component generally: The information is from Benno:
1.) Create a menu link to Phoca Gallery Component (List of Categories)
2.) go to: backend --> Components --> Phoca Gallery --> Control Panel --> Options --> Categories View --> Categories View Settings -->
Display Subcategories=No
Display Empty Categories=Yes
Save & Close

Kind regards
Christine

Hi,

You can link multiple albums by opening the album settings, selecting the Link Albums option, and choosing the albums you want to connect. Save your changes, and the albums will be linked together. If you're using a specific platform, let me know which one so I can provide the exact steps.

Best regards,
John Lukas
