I would like to use hierarchical album categories (at menu or/and at page), like these

Photo Album
- Child category #1
- Child category #2
-.........

Then user click 'Child category #1', all albums, which belong to this category displays (at menu as child menu nodes).
Is it possible?

Best Regard,
Sam

Hi Sam,

It is indeed possible.

The most efficient way of doing this would be to use the Image, Views and Taxonomy modules.

As soon as you enable the Image and Taxonomy modules you'll see an "Image Gallery" vocabulary under Taxonomy.
All you have to do is create children categories (terms) under the Image Gallery vocabulary such as Child Category 1, Child Category 2 and so on.

Then every time you create an image (content type) you will be prompt to categorise it under one of the terms you created.

To view them, you have to create a View (using the views module) to pull all the data you need.

It might sound complex but it's not however, you do need to have some practice with taxonomy and views modules.

Alternatively, there is an easier way to do this though not so efficient.
You can use the Book module so that each book is one of your categories containing a photo gallery.

Hope that helps

Thanks for your explanation on my question, i'll try to use Image, Views and Taxonomy modules (hope that will be not so complex).
