how to set up AG for another menu item

[bronte234]

I successfully set up AG for a menu (called Publicity), so the root folder is called Publicity. I now want to use AG for a separate menu called Family Trees that will have a completely new set of images. Problem is, that even though I can point the new menu item details to AG, the root folder is set to Publicity and, thus, loads the images from Publicity and not Family Trees.

Is there a way to perhaps have a second root folder? Or can I have two sub-root folders, one for Publicity and one for Family Trees?

I have tried using other gallery components or plug-ins for Family Trees, but they are not as good as AG so I'd like to keep with this one. Thanks for advice.

Well you cannot have two root folders

But you can setup your AdmirorGallery in a way you cover both cases. If you put all of your images in /images folder, and you want to have different set of images organized by folders, for example:
/images/myGallery
/images/myvacation2013

So as you can see the folder /images contains both set of images. This means that Root Path in Control Panel in AdmirorGallery should be /images.

Now when you add a menu item where you want to display myGallery, you just set gallery name to myGallery.
For menu item to display vacation images you just add a new menu item of type Gallery Layout and set gallery name to myvacation2013.

The important thing is to set a root path as height in directory hierarchy as you need. You can just set "/" as root path, this would mean that the Joomla root is the AdmirorGallery root. In this case, for the previous example, gallery name would be images/myGallery and for vacation images/myvacation2013.

Hope this helps,
