Album List in {SYS_MENU}

[zarroun]

Hello,

I would like to be able to show the album list in my menu, but have only achieved errors thus far. Has anyone tried this and found a solution? I searched the site but didn't find anything. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

I don't think that such a mod has been posted. Composing the album list (e.g. in a dropdown) makes it necessary to run additional queries. Some skills needed.

okay, i will forward the message to my client. Should I (doubtfully) figure something out, I'll let post the results.

Okay, I just had a crazy thought:

The gallery is getting the list of albums anyway. Wouldn't it be possible to call the function that populates the albums on the front page inside the System menu? If so, I could just duplicate that function, take out all the information that i don't need (thumbnail etc), leave the album name with a break and get the result from there. Once I have the gallery configured the way I want, I will give this a try unless someone here tells me that I'm completely crazy .
