I have a lot of galleries on my website. Because of this, I chose to utilize the category view. However, I have a few categories that only have one gallery in them (eg Flowers and People). Right now my clients have to first select the category, and then the gallery. Basically, clicking on the same thumbnail twice!

For these categories, is there away to set up the site so that when people click on the thumbnail for the category (ie Flowers) they go directly to that gallery - without changing the overall look of the site?

Thanks! It's working, but with a few problems:
1. When you click on the thumbnail you briefly see page that has the one thumbnail on it before you are taken to the gallery.
2. Sometimes when you click on a category, regardless of the number of galleries in it, you get a message that there are no galleries!

I'm fairly sure I read that number 1 is how it works. It does the same for me and the time I see it last on the screen is directly related to the speed of my internet connection.

As for number 2, I suggest you put your question at the end of JFriends Javascript thread. That way he can know another question has been asked.

The first is just how it works. The code sees that there is only one gallery in the loaded page and then does an auto-redirection just saving your viewer the click.

For the second one, I don't see that on any of the categories on your site. Which category do you see that on?

Thank you for the feedback. After posting my last response, I realized that I inserted the old coding (pre-june, 2011). I put in the most recent coding and issue #2 has gone away.

I will monitor issue #1 for now. I don't think its a big problem - just might be a little confusing to those checking out my site.
