« on: January 19, 2009, 08:02:00 pm »

I plan to make an album's representation (on the main page - i don't use categories) by image with embedded text, and i'd like to get rid of album description tables. also, the number of files should dissapear. Just the image. How to do it?

Copy the $template_album_list template from the sample theme.php into your custom theme.php and remove the bits you don't want. The album description is {ALB_DESC} and the number of files etc is {ALB_INFOS}

STUPID QUESTION WARNING! COVER YOUR EYES BEFORE READING.

As the description below my nickname says, i am coppermine newbie (although I know just something about). I have modified the rainy day template so now it looks like www.rwozny.eu - I have fount the sample theme, I have found the lines (i think so) you mentioned... but where to paste it exactly in my theme.php - forgive me - I have no clue.

Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi...

And there goes another problem.

The cathegory image will be 200x200 pixels. To set this size i have to go to config and set it there. But it will make ALL thumbs have this width/height (after running resize in admin tools)! I want thumbs inside the album to be 120px as it is now. Any ideas?

Copy

// HTML template for the album list
$template_album_list = <<<EOT

        </tr>
<!-- END tabs -->
<!-- BEGIN spacer -->
        <img src="images/spacer.gif" width="1" height="7" border="" alt="" /><br />
<!-- END spacer -->

EOT;
from themes/sample/theme.php into a new line of it's own right before
Code: [Select]
?>of the file themes/your_theme/theme.php

Then modify as suggested above.

Related to theming, moving thread accordingly.

And there goes another problem.

The cathegory image will be 200x200 pixels. To set this size i have to go to config and set it there. But it will make ALL thumbs have this width/height (after running resize in admin tools)! I want thumbs inside the album to be 120px as it is now. Any ideas?
I guess you should review the overall idea to use an image to display textual content - that's not a bright idea at all imo - in terms of technology, readability, search engine friendliness, accessibility, performance.
