Albums CMS Design Principles
AJAX
When adding a new album-based CMS section, the following files may need to be updated with the new content type:
/_classes/content/cache_class.php /_classes/content/resort_class.php
Obviously if a file includes the cache_class then the new content type will be available to that file.
PHP Classes
Classes derived from album_class and album_xpost_class that don’t have the same columns as those tables should set the db_field property value for those fields to FALSE in their class constructors.
function __construct() {
parent::__construct();
/* any child class property initialization would go here */
$this->layout->db_field = false;
}

JavaScript/JQuery handlers
LITTLED.Gallery.bindAlbumListingsHandlers()
The routine above doesn’t handle content refreshes. The code below adds that, along with some filtering utilities. This can be rolled up into a routine available through the LITTLED.CMS library.
LITTLED.init({ setSortables: LITTLED.Gallery.bindAlbumListingsHandlers });
LITTLED.Gallery.keywordAutocomplete();
LITTLED.setSortables();
$('.datepicker').datepicker();
$('.update-cache').click(LITTLED.updateCache);
