The function int getNumImages( ) only provides number of images in this album (not counting its sub albums)

Is there any work around if I want to show ALL images INCLUDING ALL sub albums?

Pls. advise. I am using latest nightly build.
Many thanks in advance.

You can write a mysql query to get all that info.

you can try this php code: $photosArray = query_single_row("SELECT count(*) FROM ".prefix('images')); $photosNumber = array_shift($photosArray); echo $photosNumber

It pints the total number of images in the entire gallery. What I want is the total number of images in the particular album including its subalbums.

I think it may be a mySQL query where query could be (it counts number of images where album id equals array of all subalbumIds (function getAllSubAlbumIDs($albumfolder=''))

OR

just the count of albumids (Image table) where albumids equals array of all subalbumIds (function get AllSubAlbumIDs())

I am not good with mySQL. Any help would be much appreciated.

PS. Thanks dendraya for coming back to zenphoto after a long break.

Add a where clause to your query: WHERE folder like "%albumname%" (albumname needs to be the actual name of the album for which you want the coung.

The "Image" table has "AlbumId" as field. I am having hard time writing mySQL query with albumname as field. Pls. Help.

You need to query both the images and the albums table to get what you want. For an example of such a combined query look at the image_album_statistics-plugin around line 348 or visit the mysql doc.

RESOLVED # Finally looked into template functions. We do have function getTotalImagesIn($_zp_current_album) for this. It works great. Thanks.
