Title: Latest uploads into the homepage
Post by: James Glasheen on April 02, 2005, 02:57:46 pm

Hi all,

I'd prefer to see the changing latest uploads in the homepage of my site, South East Art (http://www.southeastart.co.uk), rather than the static categoires listing.

Can anyone tell me what I need to do to alter this in the template or theme files of my site?

Cheers JG

Add lastup into the contents of the main page setting on your config page.

Fantastic, thank you!

What other settings can you add to this?

It's all in the manual (http://coppermine.sourceforge.net/manual.php#config_album_list).

Got it, already changed, thanks for your help!

Any comments about the site or the images within?

I like the way the site is built around the coppermine theme, very cohesive. Maybe the category descriptions could have a line or two about the artist, they are currently a little repetitive (and obvious really). Seems fast, is it UK hosted ?

Also did you remove alblist ? all I can see in the artists' categories now are latest uploads.

Thank you Nibbler,

Good feedback about the artist categories, I have only created them today however!

UK hosted with Fast hosts.

I wanted to simplify the homepage so removed alblist and random (didn't like random) but placed the jump menus straight to the artists stuff.  Also now only one level of category.

Cheers
