My user gallery is showing extra number of albums

[aem]

There are like 4 extra albums (numbering) in my "user-galleries" album amounts. Previous i had typed in the "Custom fields for image description" boxes but have got rid of them. Assuming this links to the # of albums?, the user-galleries still show the extra 4. This is also apparent when i go to upload pics, there are the for extra albums (with asterixs before them).

How do i delete these 4 extra albums, which i canot even see anywhere?

I don't get the point - please post a deep link or (even better) a screenshot (highlight the stuff you want to get rid off).

okie refer to image (poor quality i know)

(https://coppermine-gallery.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.digitalpose.com%2Fmbr%2F520%2F3027%2Fp%2F641635_8438631183724220657_vl.jpg&hash=ef2c065b67414282ea5fd9b4e62f3480a9a09d11)

It says 11 albums under "Albums" column. It then says 14 in the sentence above the "close window" words

24 pictures in 14 albums ans 1 category with 0 comments viewed 75 times

I know for sure that there are only 6 member album currently + a manager album (mine) which should totalled to 7. Why are they 11 or 14 as seen in the places in the image?

OK, now I get your point. This is caused by user having created albums but not uploaded anything to it. The album count will show the absolute number of albums, but in the user gallery view only those that have pictures in them will be displayed. Same thing applies if they have created albums and set "can only be viewed by me".

Since changing the way the number of albums are being displayed on the index page would mean a lot of additional queries we decided to skip this for performance reasons, so this actually not a bug, but a cosmetical issue your should be able to live with imo.

Oh i see, makes sense. Thanks.

If i can just ask, while on the subject of albums, is there a way i can move the user albums that are visible to a one of the the three albums created by me (namely Fifth Generation, Fourth Generation and Third & Second Generation, see link)?

[Joachim Müller]

you (as admin) can move all albums that are not within the user galleries to any category you like: click "properties" next to the album thumbnail (when logged in as admin) and use the dropdown to move the album to another category.

P.S. Next time, please post new questions in a new thread - for the sake of others browsing this board by subject lines it's better to have only one question per thread...
