I’m trying to get my head around albums. I’ve created an album taxonomy with parent categories and child categories, and have assigned populated galleries to these. Now I would like do display all the parent albums on the main image store page, and navigate from those to child albums, and from those to galleries associated with the child album. Is this possible?
The default [image-store] plugin seems to list all galleries. I’ve played with [image-store album=””] format but have been unable to get it to display anything.
I’ve been looking at the demo store, but don’t see the distinction between the galleries page and the albums page, except that they include a slightly different set of galleries.
The site is on localhost, so I can’t share a link right now. I’m also seeing the no thumbnails issue, even though the image-store/admin/_key directory exists and is writeable. It contains one completly empty .txt file with a random name.
Thanks for reading.
Currently the plugin will list all your galleries assigned to albums and child albums if you want to display parents and then child you will have to create your own gallery template.
You can use the template in Image store as a guide image-store/theme/taxonomy-ims_album.php

Get post by custom taxonomy (ims_album)Thanks for that. I guessed that the answer would be to make my own template. Time to get my hands dirty 🙂
Hi squibs,
Did you manage to get the Albums working? If so could you provide your code here as Id like to have the same. Otherwise I can’t see the point in having Albums in the plugin if there isn’t a page for them.As default Id like my albums displayed, then from those to my galleries within them.
It would also be great if the Albums could have images associated with them,
Hi Squibs,
I would also love to know how you did it…if you managed it as I have the same problem.
Thanks
I’m also trying to understand this taxonomy.php
I have all my galleries but I need them to be sorted under parent albums. And I need the albums to show up on the default image store page for customers to click on. Any help?
To be able to use album parent child relationship you need to create custom template and display the albums base on parent using a custom wp_query.
This is for experienced theme developers, if you don’t understand templates maybe you guys can find someone to help you below some theme resources.
