Hello!

I  am new to Coppermine and I must say it is much easier to work with compared to other gallery programs so thanks for that!!!

I have been able to do most of my customization through the theme related files but have a few minor issues left to deal with such as viewing custom fields under the thumbnails and removing any references related to comments.  As I'm reading the forum, I'm seeing where to make those changes but they are files outside the theme which means losing the information with upgrades.  So I'm now wondering if that is the only way to make these changes or can they still be done within the theme files?

For example:
Looking at the theme.php file, I found the table for the Intermediate view and want to place my custom fields just below the {CAPTION} in the code.  Can this be done or do I have to change the main program files?

Again, just need a bit of clarification on this point.  Thanks.

all your changes can be done in the theme.php, template.html, style.css files from your theme.

That's GREAT news!  So how do I reference the custom image fields in the theme.php file?  Is it simply {User1}, {User2} etc.?

See http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php/topic,50046.0.html

You want to use ['user1'] instead of ['owner_name'].

I discovered the display_fields plugin which actually may suit my needs better since it has everything in it I want to show.  I simply moved that box to be above the film strip and it works perfectly.  I couldn't have actually done this without your help and link - Thanks!!

This completely solved my issue.
