Bugzilla – Bug 17369
No direct link to album on albuminfo page

Say you do a search and SBS finds a track from a compilation. You click on it. From the song info page there's no link to the full album. The link in the cookie crumbs goes only to an artist filtered track listing. In 7.5 there was always a line in the info up above Album: <album_name> that linked to the full album. This needs to be restored in 7.6.
Actually, I was mistaken. Coming from a song link on the search psge there is no mention of the album at all on the song info page. It's not even in the cookie crumbs. Also have a look also at the album info page. It too should always show the album name and link in the album info.
This is a very easy fix. Can it be targeted for 7.6.2?

This actually works for me. I do have the album title linked to the album info page.
Looks like the 'Album: <album_name>' line now always appears on all songinfo pages. That's good. But it's not on albuminfo pages. So here's how to reproduce something similar, where you have no direct path to the full album listing: 1. Browse artists and find an artist who appears on a compilation album. 2. Click on that artist, into the artist's album list. 3. Click on a compilation album among the list. 4. The album info shown has no 'Album: <album_name>' line. The only link to the album is in the breadcrumbs. 5. Click the album name in the breadcrumbs. 6. You see an artist-filtered list of tracks on the album. You can't get to the full album from the filtered track listing. In 7.5 there was always an 'Album: <album_name>' line displayed on both the albuminfo and songinfo pages. And it always linked to the _full_ album. Also, it was always the top line displayed, both on the albuminfo and songinfo pages. Now, on the songinfo page it's been pushed down below the artists.
== Auto-comment from SVN commit #33307 to the slim repo by mherger == == http://svn.slimdevices.com/slim?view=revision&revision=33307 == Fixed Bug: 17369 Description: when showing an album with only tracks of a given trackartist, add a link to the full album to the header of the album info page
I don't see this anywhere. Can't we just always show the album and link, as it was in 7.5 and earlier?
