[solved] Viewing album shows all pictures within parent category

[Leeons]

This might just be a problem due to my lack of knowledge. I have looked and search the forum for help about my issue without luck.

The thing is: I have a category, and within this category I have 4 albums with a few pictures in each. When I from the main screen select the category, and then an album. What I get is all the pictures within the category, not just those in the selected album. I have checked the files to see if they have the right album assigned to them - and they do. If I choose properties on an album, and then change files - I get only those pictures I uploaded to that album. So to sum it up:

Why do Coppermine display all pictures within a category, when I choose to view a specific album within that category?

Thanks in advance.

Post a link to your gallery.

After viewing around my albums I noticed the "statistic" for each album, stating for instance: 3 files ... 14 linked. I guess that has something to do with my "problem"

Once again. Thanks in advance!

Read up what album keywords are being used for and what linked files are: Documentation: album properties

[...]
In 1.4.x the Album Keyword is no longer being used for searching purposes, but, rather, to link images from other album into another. Using this method, files/images can be displayed in various albums while the file itself need only exists in one album on your webserver. You simply upload a file to one album as you would normally do, then assign one or more keywords to the file. The keyword function reads blank spaces between words as a 'break' and assumes that these words are separate words. If you must use phrases for your keywords, connect them with an underscore or by using the ascii space holder ctrl+Alt+0160 (NOTE: the latter option only works with latin based character sets.) Each album can only have ONE (1) keyword or keyword phrase. All pictures residing in different albums that you would like to be displayed in this album must have the same keyword or keyword phrase in their respective keyword fields. Pictures, unlike albums can have multiple keywords or keyword phrases separated by spaces. This provides you with the option to display pictures in many albums. For the visitor of these albums, it will appear as if the file/image had been uploaded to each.

Thank you! I had used the same keyword on several of the pictures independent of which album. Thought the keywords only was used when searching.

I'll read more - and better next time!
