works great ..

Very nice and simple method.
However, i have one question regarding a feature... can it be done that when you go to /gallery.php, it shows all the users' albums?

Am working on that now and so far it's working fine:
http://www.badminton.ie/forum/gallery.php?u=1

The amount of albums per page is decided by the value in "Albums Per Page" in "User Profile: Album Options" in adminCP options.

Will update overall instructions very soon..

I removed this code from the query:
It's showing 14 galleries -- which is all we probably have right now (I'm trying to get members to use them).

http://www.churchmedia.net/albumgallery.php?u=1

No need to remove that now - unless you want all albums on one page - as my updated version now correctly pages though the total amount pf public albums.

Any way to keep guests from being able to view the albums? Makie it only veiwable to members?

Hi, that's decided by settings in usergroup permissions, where you'll find an option called "Can View Albums."

But won't the u=1 in the link bypass that?

Nope as the u=1 ensures the code acts as an album list, when a user is not logged in.

you should put it in a txt file .... and make update every time u make changes on ,,, so as we can know ...

thanks
