Yes, I do something similar on my site. With the<BR>
pagelist templates this is easy. You can create<BR>
thumbnail indexes of your albums if they are<BR>
defined using a wiki trail. You can also create<BR>
a "viewing" size view of all your photos in an album<BR>
(trail) on one page for those who want it. I find<BR>
this is actually a lot easier to view then a slideshow<BR>
which never seems to be the right speed, just put<BR>
all your photos on one LARGE page. :)<BR>
<BR>
As for the trails, I use the DynamicWikiTrails<BR>
recipe, which should work much better (no longer<BR>
needs the trail patch) with the latest beta since<BR>
pmwiki now allows query strings in trails. I put<BR>
the dynamic trail markup in the Photos.GroupFooter<BR>
as you suggest. To see a sample, try:<BR>
