Hi,
Due to my need of some sort of global categorisation for Photos I have decided to use Groups for this purpose. This sort of works although I don't have the ability to use the Show all albums view to display all recent albums / photos as it doesn't show Group Albums in the view. This has been explained to me many moons ago as correct logic by Mark which is fine I suppose for the majority of people but obviously not great for my purpose but hey ho, that's life.
What I'm really not quite getting however is the below:
1 - To create a new Album in a chosen group I cannot do this from the main group page. I have to click on a tiny link just below the Group avatar link saying ' x number of albums' which then takes me to a second slightly different view of the Group page with icons in the cover pic area for Discussions, Feeds, Files etc (note: No photos) and then on the left column there is finally a button to 'Create Album' . Surely it would be better to have on the main group page (like FB has for Photos and Videos.
2 - There appears to be no Module for Latest Group photo's / Albums, just for the normal Albums.
3 - Group Albums don't have the feature / favourite option / view.
4 - There is no way to order Group Albums in the same way normal albums can be.
5 - Once groups have been created there appears to be no way to order in the back or front end.
Regards,
Dave
