CB Gallery - Assets, Albums only & User pages

4 years 9 months ago #312845 by BlountyNG
Hi, I have a few questions.

1.
Is there a way to have multiple assets in the gallery, currently I have [Asset - profile.%]

I am looking for a way for the gallery page to only show specific content from all users
e.g. Menu Item - Videos goes to all users uploaded videos or Menu Item - Albums goes to all users uploaded Albums (without showing single photos, albums or videos on the wrong pages)

2.
Is there a way to disallow uploading pictures outside of albums, I do not want users to be able to upload single pictures outside of an album.

3.
How to split user page gallery into 2 pages - Albums and Videos currently I only have gallery and can not user the plugin in 2 items.

Thanks,

Yes, you can supply a comma separated list of assets. Please read the Asset parameter description carefully. It provides how to use it with several examples.

That's not something Asset controls. For your usage leave Asset as profile.% then simply set various media types to not display under their respective menu parameter tabs (e.g. under Videos turn off videos). There's no option to show only Albums though, but could be useful so have added a feature ticket for a future release.

No, Albums in CB Gallery are always optional. Have added a feature ticket to consider implementing this in a later release.

How to split user page gallery into 2 pages - Albums and Videos currently I only have gallery and can not user the plugin in 2 items.

I don't understand what you mean, sorry. Albums always display at the top above media that isn't in an album. Do you mean you want the Gallery tab on users profile to be split into 2 tabs? You can do that using the Gallery fieldtype and placing the field on a separate tab then changing the Asset to profile. There is no option to hide media that doesn't have a album.

Sorry about that, did not think to hover over the asset to see the description.
