Hi Davros. I might have mentioned or requested this before, but what sort of information can I use in the album_view.tpl file for album info? it looks like there is minimal information for an album display, and albums are actually more important to us than the photos, almost.

it looks like this works:
{$album->description}
{$album->datecreated}
{$album->datemodified}
{$album->location}
$data->thumbnail}

But these do not:

{$album->numberofphotos}
{$album->views}
{$album->uploader}
{$album->rating}
{$album->tags}

We'd like the album page to closely match what is available on the video page. can people rate albums or only individual photos? Can I make a request that people be allowed to rate albums? Can we at least show tags or the name of the uploader? Int he default template the info that appears under the photo is pretty sparse compared to the actual photo.

I checked out the docs and it doesn't look like this has been listed yet...

{$album->numberofphotos}
{$album->views}
{$album->uploader}
{$album->rating}
{$album->tags}No, I don't think these are available at the moment. Some will be easy to add others don't have the framework to be added yet.

Can I make a request that people be allowed to rate albums?Someone already has:
hwdmediashare.uservoice.com/pages/19653-...oto-albums?ref=title

You should vote for it if you want it.

Can we at least show tags or the name of the uploader?This will be easier to add.

Hi there, Davros...

1)I wanted to check on this and see where things are. We have these crazy photo albums, and we'd love people to comment on the actual album, in addition to the Photos in the album. Is this currently possible or are people limited to commenting only on individual photos?

2) Have any of those variables been added to the album display page in any recent version? Can people rate albums?

3) I am having difficulty finding out where to make it so that a user does not have to log in to rate. We would love for any user to rate photos at the moment, and then when we get a larger user database wed love to restrict it. Is there a way to allow any guest to rate?

and we'd love people to comment on the actual albumI'm not sure how this would work... the comment section for the album would be on the album thumbnail page only, and photo comments would be on the separate photo pages. I think users would become confused regarding where their comments had gone.

I was thinking it might be better to only allow commenting on single photos, but in the album view, show all the comments from all the photos for people to browse... what do you think?

Have any of those variables been added to the album display page in any recent version?The tags {$album->number_of_photos}, {$username} and {$list_tags} have been added.

Can people rate albums?This will be the most difficult to add. Make sure you have voted for it on UserVoice. No many users seem to want it, so it isn't a priority for now.

Is there a way to allow any guest to rate?This feature has not been added to hwdPhotoShare yet. You should request it on UserVoice if you want it.

Hi there, Davros.

1) Yes, actually showing all the comments for each of the photos in an album on the main album page would be great. Maybe some Ajax collapsing thread of comments or something, who knows, but it's a great idea. We'd like to encourage people to comment as much as possible and if they see the comments on the main album page, maybe with a way to comment in response to a photo's comment, which would then appear on the photo page as well as on the album front page. That way there would be the illusion of commenting on the album when in reality you are just commenting on a photo.

2) Fantastic...we can't wait to start showing these.
