ok, maybe this was confusing…sorry if it was…here’s my site with the link “Photos” under the heading “PAGES”…this is the page i created using the “create page” section…
http://jeremyking.com/
however, what i’d like to add is a link to “Photos” with the url /photos/…i can show you what it looks like on the sidebar if i manually enter the url for photos if you’d like to see that…
I have no idea if you can do this, as your gallery isn’t a Page, right? Its a direct URL link to your folder on your server? I’m not fully conversant with galleries, so I can’t even tell you to make a blank Gallery Page 🙁
But you do have another option which will display all your “Page” links, including this new gallery URl together nicely in your sidebar.
You can use Manage >> Links to generate a group of links grouped by Link Categories to display what you need.
<?php wp_get_linksbyname('Pages'); ?>
Where Pages is the name of new Links Category.
In Manage >> Add Link you can add all the links you want to your new “Pages” Link Category and then insert the wp_get_linksbyname tag inside your sidebar under the header “Pages” and you’ll retain your li spacing.
Hope that helps
i was told the Manage >> Add Link was to add links to sites outside of your domain only…
besides, if i go there i see how to add my /photos/ url as a link, but how do i go about adding links to my ?pageid=2, ?pageid=12, etc pages?
You can use the Manage Links section for anything you like. Its not limited to external URLs. I use it all the time in my site when I want to generate specific links that WP otherwise would control.
Adding pages is relatively easy, if you know the page URL, which you would find when you view that page in Manage/Page/View/
Just copy the page URL into the HTTP section and give it a name and save in the designated Links Category.
It will show up when you use the links tag in your sidebar. Of course the only draw back is that you will have to update the Links Category with new links for every new page your make. If that’s what you want to do – group ALL pages together.

ok, i see what you’re saying…i may resort to doing this…however, i’m hoping there is another way to accomplish this..anyone?
like a list sub pages plugin?
http://pwnt.co.uk/blog/projects/plugins/wordpress/list-subpages/
like on mine.. http://www.aleeya.net
if you click on about it lists the sub pages under about?
I also used the Fold pages plugin so when its not clicked on it doesnt show the sub pages.. so i have 2 different plugins, but the list subpages will show all the pages under the main page?
no..
i created a page (Write > Page) and they got a url like ?pageid=12 and those are displayed on my site using
<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=<h2>' . __('Pages') . '</h2>' );?>
now, the photo gallery i have creates its own directory, /photos/. i’d like to include that in the list that is generated with the wp_list_pages code above…
if you go to my site, jeremyking.com, you’ll see the About Me, Contact Me, FAQ, and Photos. the photos page was created like i said above (Write > Page) and what i’d really like is my /photos/ page to be that url instead…
Normally, you should download the Redirectify plugin from here: http://www.redalt.com/downloads/
Unfortunately, the plugin is not online at the moment, so get it here:

And here are the instructions: http://asymptomatic.net/2005/03/22/1413/redirectify-plugin/
thanks moshu, i’ll give that a looksee…
Ahhh gotcha. I got a Digital rebel XT also and I have taken a lot of photos I have been trying to get integrated with my site.
I got Gallery2 to work at http://album.aleeya.net and I tried to get WPG2 to work with mine.. but it did not work right… so I am also trying to find a way to integrate my photos..
i installed fgallery plugin ( http://fahlstad.se/wp-plugins/fgallery/ ) and it works great…
i started fresh with a D-SLR (i had film SLRs and point and shoots) and looked at a variety of D-SLRs…i was looking at Nikons and luckily just as i started looking Canon came out with the XTi…it is great! depending on how long you’ve had your XT, you might want to look at the XTi…nice upgrade…
I just got the XT about 3 months ago.. im new at it (look at the pics on album.aleeya.net, you can tell im a newbie with the cam LOL) never had a slr before.. i had a 2.0MP before that.. a kodak easy share.. and cheap cameras before that..
just a hobby is all.. playing around. wanted something to learn on and be able to do macros.
This is prob my fav
http://album.aleeya.net/main.php/v/Flowers/Simpleness/facing_simpleness2.jpg.html
but anyway..
that’s a good pic…i am getting a macro lens in the next week or so – that’s what i like the most…and then maybe a zoom lens…you can tell i need a zoom lens on some of my pics from the horse races over the weekend – i’m too far away…oh well, i’m still learning the D-SLR too…
moshu: downloaded and installed the plugin and it works perfectly! thanks…
