General Support: album loop problems

I am trying to do a somewhat of a wordpress nav loop approach, such as your loop functions show.

The code I came up with is below, and I can't seem to find why I am receiving a blank output. I am putting this album loop inside the picture page... so maybe this is why. I am trying to have a UL/LI list to the left of the single image displayed in picture.php. So what I have was derived from the album loop in the collection.php file. These files are being pulled from the default theme in plogger.

<?php if (plogger_has_albums()) : ?>
<ul>
<?php while(plogger_has_albums()) : plogger_load_album(); ?>
<li><a href="<?php echo plogger_get_album_url(); ?>"><?php echo plogger_get_album_name(); ?></a></li>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</ul>
<?php else : ?>
<?php endif; ?>
