What you're doing works, but yeah, it's really clumsy, since it takes you away from all the control over things like font size, and you end up having to do it yourself. In the next release, I'll include a simple checkbox for that (on the
Misc tab - I can't put a checkbox on jAlbum's
Pages tab, alas).
The next release might be a while, depending upon whether David goes ahead with plans to let the jAlbum core generate the oversized folder thumbnail images. In the meantime, a little quick skin editing will take care of this. Launch jAlbum, select Neptune, then
Tools, Skin developer, Edit skin files. Go to the tab for
index.htt (it should start with that tab open by default), and scroll down to line 52. Replace:
<ja:if test="<%=!excludeBacklinks && ctTxtCredits != null%>"><div class="ne-credits">${ctTxtCredits}</div></ja:if>
With:
<ja:if test="<%=level == 0 && !excludeBacklinks && ctTxtCredits != null%>"><div class="ne-credits">${ctTxtCredits}</div></ja:if>
Save the file, and close the editor.
This change forces the skin to put the credit line on there only at "level 0," which is the top level.
