Is there any way to separate the personal photo gallery available with image.module into separate albums? A full tree system would be nice but one level will do.

I'm pretty sure the gallery.module will do this, but that only seems to be available for 4.1.0, and I am already running 4.2.0.

And as a side question.. I tried searching for this, but didn't get any results. So then I tried searching for stuff that _has_ to get results and still got nothing. Is there something wrong with the search on this site?

Thanks for the time!

Do you mean a categorized hierarchy like this?

travel
- europe
-- italy
--- venice
--- rome
-- france
----paris
- asia
-- japan
--- tokyo
family
- holidays
-- thanksgiving

etc.

If this is what you are looking for, this is easily accomplished using the taxonomy module. Create a multilevel hierarchical vocabulary, adding a new term for each album or level, and each time you add an image to the gallery, assign it to the proper term.

I know that sounds confusing, but it makes sense once you get in there.

Yeah.. I was thinking about that, and that does separate the content, but there seems to be a few issues:

1) That means that every user is limited to the same hierarchy

2) All photos are still lumped together when a user's photo gallery is first accessed. It's only when you select the category of a picture do you get to a selection of only those pictures in that category.. and even then the display of these pictures is not very nice (not like the normal gallery display)

Any thoughts on this?
