Short and simple:The problem in a nutshell: I cannot imbed my photo albums into my wordpress website, and I can't find the answers on how to do it. I need help!
The verbose version:I hate to post questions on websites, especially questions that are as vague as this one will be, because I pride myself in finding the answers on my own; generally, everything's been posted a dozen times before I need to know the answer.
Having said all that, I'm lost!
I downloaded Coppermine 1.4.1. I then downloaded CPM Fetch version 1.4.1 and got that running.
If it matters, I am running WordPress 1.5.1.1. And the theme I use is the S2A theme found at Dan Cameron's website:
http://dancameron.org/pages/scattered-theme/I made a gallery.php file and put it in the root of my website. I copy-and-pasted the line of code from the instructions. I modified it to point to my gallery folder on my website. Bingo. Everything worked like it should.
You can go to
www.trickybuddha.com/coppermine to see the photo albums. I just threw some pictures up there. It's nothing final.
And if you check out:
http://www.trickybuddha.com and then click on the images link from the header, it takes you to :
www.trickybuddha.com/gallery.phpThere, you can see CPM Fetch seems to be up and running fine! It's currently displaying a random image from a couple different categories and albums. I'm just fiddling at the moment to get used to it all.
Anyway, just saying that most of the posts seem to be addressing problems prior to this step. My problem is after that step.
The problem is that once I click the Images link, I lose everything else. I lose the header and sidebar and all that. I just see the four thumbnails that the gallery.php is calling. I want everything imbedded together. The second problem is that if I click on a thumbnail, it takes me to the
www.trickybuddha.com/coppermine layout. I want clicked-on pictures to be imbedded within my site as well.
Does this all make sense? Is the answer really easy to find and I'm just not seeing it? Please, someone take pity on me and point me in the right direction!
Or at least tell me I'm not crazy, there is no answer, and that is why I cannot find it.
Thanks!
