Display posts and gallery of post attachments seperately

I tackled one of my improvements

-Add View Post and View Gallery links to the post.

For every post I add the Photo Gallery category to, not only does it add it to the photo gallery page, it also adds a “View Gallery” icon in the upper-right of the post. When you are viewing a post’s gallery, there is a “View Post” icon in the upper-right.

See this post for the example:
http://www.karieandscott.com/blog/the-running-of-the-crazy-people-oh-yeah-and-bulls

Here is what I did it:
Modified single.php and index.php with the following:

I moved $att = $_GET["att"]; (see first post above in this thread) from the loop and put it before the loop since I was calling this variable more than once. I now have <?php $att = $_GET["att"];?> just before the loop starts. This allows me to use the URL variable at any time to filter my post view.

To add the buttons, I first created the buttons then added the following code just after the Title in the loop:

<?php if ( in_category(52) ){
    echo '<a href="';
    echo the_permalink();
    if ($att=="yes")
        echo '"><img class="viewphotos" src="http://www.karieandscott.com/blog/wp-content/themes/blossom/images/viewpost.gif"></a>';
    else
        echo '?att=yes"><img class="viewphotos" src="http://www.karieandscott.com/blog/wp-content/themes/blossom/images/viewphotos.gif"></a>';
}?>

The if (in_category(52) code looks to see if the post being compiled by the loop is in the Photo Gallery category, if it is then it looks for the $att variable in the URL. If it is yes then it means the current view is the Gallery view and the “View Post” button should be display. If $att is not yes then the view is the Post view then the “View Gallery” button is displayed and the link has ?att=yes added so the view will be filtered to the gallery when clicked on. I updated my CSS to help place the icon where I want it.

I also added <?php if ($att=="yes") echo 'Gallery: ';?> just before the title so if the gallery is viewed, the title has “Gallery: ” added to the title.

No I used a modified version of the code I posted a link to in my second post above. The photo album feature is not built into WP. I suspect there will be some version of it in the future but this works well for now.

You’re site isn’t loading so I can’t see what is wrong. Just curious though, if it’s your code, shouldn’t you be able to figure it out? Not that I won’t try to help…

I might have had the same problem. Start a new thread and post a link to it here. I think it would be appropriate as it’s a different problem. I’ll post my category template there too.
