Photo album - location field

What can be done with the location field of a photo album?

Doesn't show up in search nor on world map.

I wonder about that field myself.  How can an album have a location other than the directory on my server?  Or actually in the case of albums, a location in my database since albums don't actually exist outside of the database.

photo albums, as well as video albums, are listed in the sys_albums table in the database

The sys_albums_objects in sys_albums_objects holds the id number of each item in each album.

The field id_album is the id number of the album and is equal to the ID field in sys_albums table

So, if you have videos in an album called "Boogers", and the "Boogers" album has an ID of 15 in the sys_albums table, all items in the "Boogers" album will be in the sys_album_objects table where album_id = 15.

I might not have understood what you said.

There is a field 'Location' in 'sys_albums'. What is it for?

from my tests of the Location field - it does nothing - I have used it to hold other info such as short info for albums.

I messed up on my originally post:

The sys_albums_objects in sys_albums_objects holds the id number of each item in each album. - should have been:

The sys_albums_objects table holds the info for each item in each album

Thanks, then I will hide it in 'Edit album'.

Hey, that would work for my mod of having a Bookcase with shelves.  The location of the album would be which shelf in the bookcase the album is on.  We would need a new field for the Bookcase.

See the other forum topic for an understanding of this module.  The basics of it is that albums will be located in a Bookcase, the bookcase will have shelves.  You can have a Holiday Photos bookcase,  And then each shelf can be a year.  Each shelf can then hold the holiday albums for the year.

Or, you could have a Pop Music Bookcase with the shelves being the recording artists.  Then on the shelf for the artist you can have each album of the artist.

This would be a really fantastic module if someone with the skills want to develop it.  I guess I should post this in the development forum.

Not sure of it's intended use, but i thought it may be the location in which the photos in the album were shot. Such as Paris perhaps.

But it does appear to be a useless field.
