Wrong Albums appear in Gallery

    I have created the following query for a gallery to display only albums by a particular author: author__in=6&album__not_in=0&terms_relation=AND but it shows all albums by any author.

    I have also tried this query: category__in=8&album__in=0&terms_relation=AND&albums_order=date_desc
    Which should show all albums in Category 8 but this is blank and has no results in AlbumsList2 and creates just one main gallery with all the photos lumped together in AlbumsList Masonry. I would like for all the albums to be shown separately as in the demos on your website.

    It appears that there are some serious flaws in the logic of the query builder or maybe there is something I am missing but I need all albums in a certain category AND/OR by a certain author to appear in a particular gallery please. There will be about 40 galleries with albums being added on a regular basis so it is not practical to have to add each individual album to each gallery each time a new Album is created.

    Please can you let me know the best way to do this?

    Do you have a solution for this problem please as it is now quite urgent?

    The idea is to be able to create multiple Albums grouped by years and then by classes (around 40 classes).

    By default Query Builder is for query media items from Gmedia Library, but not albums or categories.

    To show albums in some of the “Albums” module you need to choose only albums in Query Builder.

    Can you fix the Query builder so that it works with albums please?

    I would like to be able to pick a category and then have Albums appear as they are added automatically in each Category. It is not feasible to have to go and add the album in the query builder in the gallery every time someone adds a new album?

    There will be 40 different people adding albums and I want to give them only access to add albums but not to edit the gallery the albums appear in.

    Thanks,

    Tom

    Hello, any response to this please?

    Is there any possibility that there is a way to do this or will this not work for my use case?

    I would have thought that this was normal usage to define the gallery and then any albums uploaded to that gallery would appear automatically and not have to make a new query every time a new album is added.

    Please can you look at this?

    Thanks,

    To show all albums just select No Album in dropdown then tick Exclude selected Albums. In this case gallery will show all available publish albums.

    But there is no way to show albums from category.
