Dashboard Gallery App album list page - Adding columns

Hi,

I am building a site that using albums that can be categorised and therefore the output filtered so that only albums relevant to the section of the site are shown. I realise Perch Categories do not work in the Gallery App so I am using <perch:content type="select"... /> to add these.

Ideally I'd like the end user to be able to see which category the album is in by showing this on the album listing page in the dashboard in order for them to be able to order the albums by dragging and dropping. Is this possible to do, i.e. add a column 'Category' to visually show which an album is in??

Thanks,

Alex

The Gallery app doesn't have that ability, no.

OK, is is possible to change the slug in that case, i.e. prefix the slug somehow with the category?

That would make it sortable and easy to identify then

How are you building up the slug currently?

I'm just using the standard albumSlug. This is what's shown in the album list in the 2nd column on the dashboard. I was wondering if it's possible to determine how this is built as out of the box it's just the title given to the album.

I see what you mean - I don't think that will work here.
