Any way to organize galleries into collections?

creativetechguy

I have a lot of galleries and it's getting a bit unwieldy. Is there any way to organize several of the older galleries ones into a collection or something?

Categories and subcategories would be the way to go.

Sorry, but you can't add an additional level to a gallery.

What you could do is creating a private gallery in your wedding sub-category and put a link to it in the gallery description of your "Matt and Amanda" gallery. This way the gallery wouldn't show up as an additional gallery in the sub-category, but your clients still could easily find it by going to their gallery. If you want to make more than 2 galleries for one client you can apart from linking them all in the gallery description also make a share group to which you link from your client gallery's description.

Hope this helps,
Sebastian

One way to get the levels you want is using the navbar. On the navbar
have a Clients button when clicked a dropdown appears with Weddings,
Events, etc. This would require a category for Weddings, Events, etc.

Clicking the Wedding drop you would land on the category page where you
would have a sub-category for the each wedding like Matt and Amanda and
under that have their galleries.

Make sence?

Clients
       Events
       Weddings

[U]Weddings category page[/U]
 Matt and Amanda  < sub-cat

[U]Sub-cat page[/U]
      Before Wedding < gallery
      Wedding          < gallery
      After Wedding  < gallery

This thread gives one possible way to provide sub-galleries.

Ah, thanks. I kind of remembered afterwards that I've seen such a script flying around on dgrin before.
