Gallery2:How Do I Remove the Root Album Link

Important: This can only be done by the albums' administrator, because you have to do changes in a core template, called "BreadCrumb.tpl"!

Here is a step by step guide which descipes how to remove the root album link. Removing the root album link is a good idea if you want visitors of a users' album not to get outside of this album.

Step by step:

1. First create new subdir "local" in "gallery2/modules/core/templates/blocks/".

2. Copy BreadCrumb.tpl to this new subdir

3. Change local/BreadCrumb.tpl in the following way:

{*
 * $Revision: 1.4 $
 * If you want to customize this file, do not edit it directly since future upgrades
 * may overwrite it.  Instead, copy it into a new directory called "local" and edit that
 * version.  Gallery will look for that file first and use it if it exists.
 *}
{*
 * Go through each breadcrumb and display it as a link.
 *
 * G2 uses the highlight id to figure out which page to draw when you follow the
 * breadcrumbs back up the album tree.  Don't make the last item a link.
 *}

	    {if isset($separator)} {$separator} {/if}
	{else}
             {* further in sub-album tree*}
	{/if}
  {else}
  	{if $smarty.section.parent.first}
		{* first sub-album*}
	{else}
	  <a href="{g->url arg1="view=core.ShowItem" arg2="itemId=`$theme.parents[parent].id`"
