   How would I go about adding a hierarchical menu list of albums/galleries. I don't want any images, just a link to the page...is there a widget that can do this?

   Such that:
   Album 1
   -GalleryA
   -GalleryB
   Album 2
   -GalleryC
   etc...

   Simply put, what I am looking for is a way to create a dynamic menu for a gallery template for ease of navigation between Albums/Galleries

   I did a new album template album-list.php and it was like this:

   <?php
   /**
   Template Page for the list of albums
   
   Follow variables are useable :
   
   	$album     	 : Contain information about the album
   	$galleries   : Contain all galleries inside this album
   	$pagination  : Contain the pagination content
   
    You can check the content when you insert the tag <?php var_dump($variable) ?>
    If you would like to show the timestamp of the image ,you can use <?php echo $exif['created_timestamp'] ?>
   **/
   ?>
   
   <?php if (!defined ('ABSPATH')) die ('No direct access allowed'); ?><?php if (!empty ($galleries)) : ?>
   
   <h4><?php echo $album->name ?></h2>
   <ul class="albumit">
   	<!-- List of galleries -->
   	<?php foreach ($galleries as $gallery) : ?>
   		<li><a class="Link" href="<?php echo $gallery->pagelink ?>"><?php echo $gallery->title ?></a></li>
    	<?php endforeach; ?>
   </ul>
   <?php endif; ?>

   Then I put do_shortcode-function to my sidebar. Like this:

   echo do_shortcode('[album id=5 template=list]');

   Thats working, but in gallery-page it returns nothing. And just on gallery-page I need the hierarchical menu list of albums/galleries :(

   Can anyone help?

   hi! I am not sure if this is what you are trying to accomplish but have you tried using [album id=1 template=extend ]? Here is an explanation on this. http://nextgen.boelinger.com/album/ Hope this helps.

   I'm currently using the album template and gallery template as well. I would also like to see the ability to list all albums on one page. It would function similar to how galleries are listed.

   Someone would need to write a custom query to access the albums from the nextgen tables in the database. Anybody up for the challenge?

   Hey Guys,

   I think I found the answer: Subalbums!

   Step 1: Create an album. This one will act as the "master" album.
   Step 2: Create more albums. These will act as "subalbums" that will actually be displayed
   Step 3: Select the "master" album in the Album admin.
   Step 4: Drag all "subalbums" into the master album.
   Step 5: Save/Update the master album.
   Step 6: Create a "master" album template that lists the albums and galleries

   I'm trying it out now.
