Hi!
I'm webmaster for a large Swedish association. Now I'm preparing a totally new version of our website. In the old version we're using Coppermine1.5.22 which the earlier webmaster installed. To teach myself the program completely, I have installed Coppermine 1.5.38 at a test site. I have also made a custom theme to make it fit into our new website.
But now I have encountered some problems.
Issue 1
The number of columns in the albums list can't be changed from the default - two.
I change the "Configuration> Album list view> Number of columns for the album list" but it has no effect. I've checked the database and the changed is registered in the table "config > album_list_cols". However, in the" Category Album list view" there are always two columns.
Furthermore, when I go back to "Configuration> Album list view" the selection is once again set to "2".
To me the problem seems to be – The program do not read from the database. But it updates the database in the right way.
Issue 2
The Home screen displays all albums in all categories although I deselect that chose.
I deselect the "Configuration> Album list view> Show first level album thumbnails in categories", but the change has no effect. I've checked the database - I'm not really sure what value this is but I've made a guess on "config > alb_desc_thumb". If that's the correct value would change to "0" if I uncheck this option – but it's always "1". – I suppose it is a Yes / No (1/0) value.
I've tried to change this value to "0" in the database but nothing changes – all the maximum numbers of albums I've set up or exist in each category.
Furthermore, when I go back to "Configuration> Album list view" it's checked again.
To me the problem seems to be – The program do not write to or read from the database.
Issue 3
You can't change or remove user groups in the "Group (s) allowed to create albums in this category" on the Category Management page.
It's also not any kind of a list is it look more like locked text field. The only thing you can do there is to highlight the "Registered" written there by default.
I want no one to be able to add album in any categories other than their own gallery.
Please, Help me solve those problems!
