Hi.
Ok, then we gave here TWO requests:
1. Display module on specific group page.
Install this superb extension:
extensions.joomla.org/extensions/extensi...anced-module-manager
Now on modules will have additional tab called "Assignments". Among many settings there you'll find "URL" option. Click on "Include" and paste URL (without initial http;//your-domain.com).
This will allow you to assign module to certain group page.
2. Display photos from certain album only:
Copy this file:
ROOT/modules/mod_community_photos/tmpl/default.php
to:
ROOT/templates/your-template/html/mod_community_photos (if you don't have "html" or "mod_community_photos" folders, feel free to create them)
Edit file and replace this (line 25-29):
<div class="js-col4 bottom-gap">
<a href="<?php echo CRoute::_('index.php?option=com_community&view=photos&task=photo&albumid=' . $row->albumid . '&userid=' . $row->user->id . '&photoid=' . $row->id);?>">
<img class="jomNameTips" title="<?php echo JText::sprintf('COM_COMMUNITY_PHOTOS_UPLOADED_BY' , $row->user->getDisplayName() );?>" src="<?php echo $row->getThumbURI(); ?>" alt="<?php echo CStringHelper::escape( $row->user->getDisplayName() );?>" />
</a>
</div>
With this:
<?php if($row->albumid == 51) { ?>
<div class="js-col4 bottom-gap">
<a href="<?php echo CRoute::_('index.php?option=com_community&view=photos&task=photo&albumid=' . $row->albumid . '&userid=' . $row->user->id . '&photoid=' . $row->id);?>">
<img class="jomNameTips" title="<?php echo JText::sprintf('COM_COMMUNITY_PHOTOS_UPLOADED_BY' , $row->user->getDisplayName() );?>" src="<?php echo $row->getThumbURI(); ?>" alt="<?php echo CStringHelper::escape( $row->user->getDisplayName() );?>" />
</a>
</div>
<?php } ?>
This line is most important here:
<?php if($row->albumid == 51) { ?>
Change number 51 to album ID you want to display.
And remember - module doesn't show photos from group albums (!) and this is "LATEST" photos module so older photos may be not displayed.
If you want to use this module for multiple times, then you'll need to add alternative layout feature to the module (unfortunately it will be a core file hack so you'll need to have backup copy of customized files.
mod_community_photos.php (line 44)
+ replace: require( JModuleHelper::getLayoutPath('mod_community_photos') );
+ with: require( JModuleHelper::getLayoutPath('mod_community_photos', $params->get('layout', 'default')) );
mod_community_photos.xml (line 25)
+ add:
<fieldset name="advanced">
<field name="layout" type="modulelayout" label="JFIELD_ALT_LAYOUT_LABEL" description="JFIELD_ALT_MODULE_LAYOUT_DESC" />
</fieldset>
This will create additional tab in module (when in edit mode) where you could choose alternative layout file - the one you copied (ROOT/modules/mod_community_photos/tmpl/default.php) to ROOT/templates/your-template/html/mod_community_photos .
Just rename file from default.php album-18.php or something similar and in Advaced tab choose it from dropdown list.
