Separate Album List Pages

in Photon Posts: 11
Hello,

I currently have all my client work in separate albums, and an overview of them can be found on the Album List Page, sortable by their relevant tags. However, I would also like to add a separate Album List Page of just my personal work, without any of the client work or their tags showing. What is the best way to achieve this? Is there a way to make a different second Album List Page?

Thank you,
Roy

    Hello:-)

    We have covered this many times and I tried to describe this in docs http://apollo13.eu/docs/photon/#!/adding_multiple_albums_list_and_categories

    However if you already use tags/categories I would do such thing:
    1. Create two main categories in album: Personal and Clients
    2. All your current categories I would push under Clients category and like so for your Personal stuff.
    3. Now I would add to menu links to this main categories.

    This way you have two separate albums lists.

    I hope this helps.

    With kind regards.

    Hello,

    Thanks for your response. One follow-up question -- I have some custom CSS that I've used on my main album list page under Pages (so it does not make global changes to the website), and I would like to carry these over to the other album list page (essentially the "Category" view/genre filter). Is there a particular place where I can put this code to affect only the Category/genre view?

    Thanks again!

    Hello:-)

    It depends what exact CSS you have, but we should be able to easily target album genre with selector body.albums-list-page

    With kind regards.

    The code I have mainly affects the way the Album tiles are displayed:

    figure.archive-item h2{
    text-align: center;
    color: #fff;
    font-size: 16px;
    line-height: 16px;
    letter-spacing: 0px
    }
    figure.archive-item .excerpt {
    display: none;
    }
    .classic-eff:hover figcaption{
    background-color: rgba(0,0,0, 0.5);
    }
    Is there somewhere other than the main style sheet where this could be placed so it only modifies the Album tiles on the Album List Pages?

    Thank you.

    Nevermind, realized I just had made some syntax mistakes, which is why I wasn't getting the correct display with the selector you recommended. I've modified the CSS like you suggested in the main style sheet as such:

    body.albums-list-page figure.archive-item .excerpt {
    display: none;
    }
    body.albums-list-page figure.archive-item h2{
    text-align: center;
    color: #fff;
    font-size: 16px;
    line-height: 16px;
    letter-spacing: 0px
    }
    body.albums-list-page .classic-eff:hover figcaption{
    background-color: rgba(0,0,0, 0.5);
    }
    Now it looks like everything is displaying correctly. Thank you!
