Title: User Galleries on main page, NOT in default Cat
Post by: Arkham on October 21, 2004, 06:19:10 pm

How can I get the user galleries to appear on the main page, without having them in "User Galleries"?

I don't want my family to have to click on (renamed) "Family Gallery" first, and then again to get into each member's gallery.  Isn't there a way to remove the Category option and just have each User Gallery appear?

I know we can create albums that will appear outside the category, but those are individual albums -- I want individual groups of "my galleries".  IE  Father, Mother, Son, Daughter galleries, without having to take the extra step.

Any ideas?

N/M -- Thanks anyway.

I found the answer in this thread:  http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php?topic=5900.0

I just copied the necessary code to my 1.3.1 index.php file and it works well.


Cheers

Hi,

I actually did not like the solution listed in the thread you provided, my solution did involve modifying index.php,
but i believe its a little less severe modification.

In the main code I modified the following:

if (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['cat'])) {
    $cat = (int)$HTTP_GET_VARS['cat'];

}
// NEW CODE
 else if( count($HTTP_GET_VARS)==0 ){
   $cat = 1;
}
// END NEW CODE

Basically I just forced cat=1 if cat not specified, which causes the User Categories page to load in the index.  I know
there are probably consequences of doing this, but it works well for me.

Cheers
Jason

Jason,

this method should work fine, I can see no reason why you shouldn't do this. This has been suggested in the past, and appears to have worked for those who applied this hack. I agree that it is a less intrusive hack and should be used instead of the "monstrous" hack that is the alternative.

Jason, Thanks for this info.  Where do you mean in the index when you say "main code"?

Hi in 1.3.2 and 1.3.3 the main code is identified by a comment, my change is indicated by the

if (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['page'])) {
    $PAGE = max((int)$HTTP_GET_VARS['page'], 1);
    $USER['lap'] = $PAGE;
} elseif (isset($USER['lap'])) {
    $PAGE = max((int)$USER['lap'], 1);
} else {
    $PAGE = 1;

if (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['cat'])) {

} else if( count($HTTP_GET_VARS)==0 ){ // force cat to 1 if not supplied, so User Categories Albums display
   $cat = 1;
}
// END NEW CODE

The option below only works showing the Users gallery is there a way to show the owners gallery and the user gallery as well?
