Hiddy Ho,
Here's another cool looking theme for Coppermine ported from a WordPress theme by studio ST - http://studio.st/ (http://studio.st/). The layout is cool and should be fully compatible with most of the major browsers (I tested it with FF, IE and Safari at various monitor resolutions) . The width will accomodate monitor sizes from 800x600 on up.
I've overwritten some of the configuration settings by using variables in the theme.php file. The reason for this is to prevent the standard settings in the Configuration tables set by you from "breaking" the theme. These changes are:
$CONFIG['max_film_strip_items'] = 4; //overrides the number of thumbnails.
$CONFIG['thumbcols'] = 4; //overrides the number of columns for thumbnails.
$CONFIG['main_table_width'] = '100%'; //overrides the Width of the main table (pixels or %).
$CONFIG['picture_table_width'] = '100%'; //overrides the Width of the table for file display (pixels or %).
$CONFIG['album_list_cols'] = 3; // sets "Number of columns for the album list = 3"
$CONFIG['first_level'] = 0; //sets "Show first level album thumbnails in categories = no".
This theme has the first level of album thumbnails turned off to make large (as well as small) galleries look move attractive. This will prevent the main page from being cluttered with thumbnails and easier to chose a particular category. Also, this theme is geared towards intermediate photos sizes of 400 pixels or less but the theme will reduce the size automatically for intermediate images larger than this. The popup size can be any size though.
Enjoy and maybe I'll have another one in a few days.
Cheers,
Gizmo ;D

Very nice Theme...my favorite so far. I think the color combinations are what makes this such a nice theme.
My only wish (and there may be reasons why it can't do this) is that I wished it was just slightly wider...maybe another 50-75 pixels (less space on the right).
But...as it is...Great Job!!!

Thanks Razor! It can be widen but you'd have to muck around with the header and footer graphics. I think most theme designers (including me) try to keep the width at 800px for those many people using 800x600 resolution monitors which is still the majority. I agree, blogs don't need such wide themes as do those for photo galleries.
Cheers...
-
You know what...after customizing it and using it for a little while...Don't change a thing. This is a VERY NICE theme.
Here is my new website using this theme. http://www.wallyjarratt.com (http://www.wallyjarratt.com)
Thanks Gizmo...this is a very functional and attractive template.

I have to agree with you on this theme. The more I see and use it, the more I really like it and it looks great with your gallery. I guess bumming around on the net at lunch time does have it's advantages!
Cheers and thanks again!

Great job Gizmo! This theme was already in my WP theme list ;D
-
Thanks... I can see visions coming through... :o

Have you checked more recent stats? According to mine, less than 5% use 800x600. I think it's still good to keep things around that size for people who have big screens but don't want the browser to monopolize their screen real estate.
-
I agree: those with 800x600 have issues (scrollbars) on most sites they visit, so they should be aware that they're on outdated equipment. Imo it's pretty safe to design with 1024x768 in mind.
-
I stand corrected (and more than once today I might add ;)). My main computer a 1400x1050 resolution laptop and I never surf with a full screen browser window. Here are some browser stats - http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp (http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp).

Hmmmm...so Gizmo...does this mean you will develop a higher screen resolution version of this WONDERFUL theme? ;D
-
Gizmo...I want to go ahead and expand this theme wider (as referred to above), for maybe 800x600. Is there an easy way or snippet of code to do this...or does it require a rewrite. I might want to do this with RedTrain too.
Thanks for a great theme.

OK, try this theme version. I've changed the width to 960px so it should fit nicely inside 1024px or wider monitors. You may have to adjust some of the configuration settings in the theme.php file to suit your needs. Let me know if this is more to your liking.

Thanks Gizmo...I will try this over the weekend.

Beautiful...I like this much better. I have to do some revising on my links and some other stuff, but this is much nicer.
Can you do RedTrain too?

HI,
How can i move the sidebar to the left?
-
Gorgeous theme -- great job!
I have one problem with it. When logged in as an administrator, the theme looks great, with the admin_menu buttons arrayed nicely along the top. (See dirty2.jpg) But when logged on as any other user, the admin_menu turns into a clunky list of links that pushes the photos quite far down the screen. (see dirty1.jpg) Is there an obvious way to fix this?
-
A slight overlook on my part. In your theme.php, find the $template_user_admin_menu variable and replace it with the one below.
// HTML template for user admin menu
$template_user_admin_menu = <<<EOT
<div align="center">
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1">
<tr>
<td class="admin_menu" id="admin_menu_anim"><a href="albmgr.php" title="{ALBMGR_TITLE}">{ALBMGR_LNK}</a></td>
<td class="admin_menu" id="admin_menu_anim"><a href="modifyalb.php" title="{MODIFYALB_TITLE}">{MODIFYALB_LNK}</a></td>
<td class="admin_menu" id="admin_menu_anim"><a href="profile.php?op=edit_profile" title="{MY_PROF_TITLE}">{MY_PROF_LNK}</a></td>
<td class="admin_menu" id="admin_menu_anim"><a href="picmgr.php" title="{PICTURES_TITLE}">{PICTURES_LNK}</a></td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
EOT;

Worked like a charm! Thanks for all your work.

Hi. I really want to try out the i-feel-dirty theme, but every time I try to install it WordPress shows it under the category of Broken Themes, with the follow comment "The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template."
I've downloaded it from several different places, deleted the old copy, reinstalled, and I still get the same message.
Can anybody help me out? I'm dying to try it.
Thanks!
-
Ummm... are you trying to install the Coppermine version into WordPress? The i-feel-dirty theme that's discussed in this forum is for use with Coppermine. If you want the WordPress theme, see the link in my first post or to make it easy for you - http://studio.st/i-feel-dirty/ (http://studio.st/i-feel-dirty/).
-
Love the bigger version - I am still having some problems rendering with copper ads, but with the new width, it works much better.
-
Is there a theme similar to i-feel-dirty for a forum? If not, you really should make one, this imo is by far the coolest theme for both coppermine and wordpress.
great job
-
Thanks Morgue but I won't be making any forum themes since I don't use any forum software. Wordpress and Coppermine are more my style but then again, all I did was port the WP theme to CPG but I have to agree, it is a cool theme.
-
I may try to port it then :D
-
i really like this theme, but I'm having problems finding where to change the url for the logout. When I click logout it takes me to a completly different website. Where do I change this at?
-
Unless you've changed $template_sys_menu in the theme.php file, I don't see how this can be. I use this theme on one of my sites and it's running fine. Please zip up your theme and post it here and we'll check it.
-
Here's the site it's on: http://www.simplydigitalscraps.com/gallery here's the site it takes me to when i log out of admin http://www.yoursite.com/board/member.php?action=logout&uid=1
thx
-
I checked and there is nothing in the attached theme that would cause this. The code is as it should be for the login and logout links in the theme.php so maybe you have something strange running on your host because the "login.php?referer=$REFERER" link for "http://www.simplydigitalscraps.com/gallery/login.php?referer=index.php" is pointing to "http://www.yoursite.com/board/member.php?action=login".
...
<!-- BEGIN login -->
<li><a href="{LOGIN_TGT}" title="{LOGIN_LNK}">{LOGIN_LNK}</a></li>
<!-- END login -->
<!-- BEGIN logout -->
<li><a href="{LOGOUT_TGT}" title="{LOGOUT_LNK}">{LOGOUT_LNK}</a></li>
<!-- END logout -->

Hey, when I upload a file, the page for some reason looks like this
http://www.wtfhost.com//files/34/db_input.jpg
I don't think I changed anything, besides the language file, but it didn't show up correctly even before that... any suggestion?
-
None. Are you using a host installer for CPG from byethost.com? Is this a free hosting site?
-
Not related to the theme "i-feel-dirty" as far as I can see, so this shouldn't be discussed on this thread. Regular suggestion applies: start a new thread on the uploads board after having read the upload troubleshooting section of the docs.
-

Yes.
-
Cancel this.

Stramm has ported this theme to be used with his modpack as well. All users running Stramm's modpack who would like all modpack features to work with this theme should review his thread "Theme I feel dirty for modpack - download (http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php?topic=45049.0)".

Hello.
I have a little Problem with this Theme.
I have uploaded it and modified it (Sidebar from right to left, other Backgrounds, some Graphics modified and a few little things). It works very well, but i canot set this Theme as Standart Theme. Always when i set it as Standart, it moves automaticly back to "Rainy Day" (my previous theme). I deletet all other Themes, but then appears for all Users (but not for me) only a blank screen. I hope you can help me.
And, yes i know that my english isnt very good ;)
Here`s the site: http://www.kletzi.de (http://www.kletzi.de)
Thanks, Steve
Edit: I think i solved the Problem by myself. I just copied the file and renamed it and now it seems to work
-
Go to http://www.kletzi.de/admin.php?theme=i-feel-dirty and save it.
-
That is what i have done a lot of times, but it`s always moved back to Rainy Day. Now I´ve renamed "I-feel-dirty" into "Test" and i can save it without moving back...
-
I really like this theme and especiall the wider version. But this one does not show in IE at all - just a blank screen. Is there any help on how to get it to show?
Thanks
Gill
-
Post a link to your gallery with the theme in place for a start, so supporters can take a look. Do you expect us to be mind-readers? ::)
-
Sorry, I should have thought: http://www.earthpeace.co.uk/JoeMem/
I've taken off the original i-feel-dirty because it automatically reverts to that if it is there.
Thanks
Gill
-
I get a blank screen using Firefox. This is not the fault of the theme, but the implementation on your server. Please start a separate thread on the support board, with reference to your posting here. In that separate thread, attach a zip of your custom theme.
-
thank you Gizmo for your great work in porting this great theme to cpg. I have been heavily working on it to modify its graphics to fit my new site theme (I will post a link to the share your gallery thread when I am done with it).
I stumbled upon a minor issue I think you over looked when you ported the theme.
Every album page has an album title row. You can find the album title code here in theme.php:
// HTML template for title row of the thumbnail view (album title + sort options)
$template_thumb_view_title_row = <<<EOT
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td width="100%" class="statlink"><h2>{ALBUM_NAME}</h2></td>
</tr>
</table>
EOT;
it should have h3 title size or less to fit the theme graphics like this:
// HTML template for title row of the thumbnail view (album title + sort options)
$template_thumb_view_title_row = <<<EOT
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td width="100%" class="statlink"><h3>{ALBUM_NAME}</h3></td>
</tr>
</table>
EOT;
you can also add a css definition in style_cpg.css to set its color as fits your theme by adding the following:
.statlink h3 {
color: #999999;
}
otherwise it would assign it some random color from one of the font definitions in the css (the reason i am saying random is because I have tried a couple of browsers and each one picks a different font color for the title until I set it in the css)
thanks again and i hope this helps.
regards,
Ayman

Hi All,
Here is a update and refreshed version of the i-feel-dirty theme (version 1.1). A list of upgrades and fixes are:
- fixed bbcode issue when used in album description
- fixed user gallery issue where the albums are not displayed correctly
- added a truncation script to shorten long album descriptions in the categories pages but will display full description when viewing album. This will make the categories much cleaner looking. It also truncates long descriptions on thumbnail images and displays them on the intermediate viewing page making album viewing cleaner as well.
From the first post, remember this theme has a script for resizing images so they fit correctly on the intermediate page. The images are currently set for a width of 400px. This means any image with a width larger than 400px will be resized down. But an image less than 400px wide will be increased to 400 which may distort the image some. Most people leave the default set to 400 so it shouldn't be a problem in most cases but you are now aware of this.
I've tested this theme without issue on FireFox 3.0.1 (Mac & PC), Safari 3.1.2 and IE 7.0.5.X (PC). Sorry I do not have IE 6.X on my PC and will not test this browser version plus IE6 is on the decline (http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp). As always let me know here if you encounter any problems.
Enjoy!
Billy

Thanks for the contribution. Download counter for the previous version used to be 12590 when I overwrote the file with the newer version (which makes the download counter start from scratch).
I have updated my above posting as usual to reflect the new filename and download link, and of course I have upgraded the demo as well.
@Gizmo: Being inspired with your theme I have ported the theme to typo3 btw., see my personal page ;)
Cheers
Joachim

Gorgeous, gorgeous theme Gizmo. I'm using it at:
http://chylerleigh.info/index.php
Already top-10 in the Google listings for 'Chyler Leigh' (Grrey's Anatomy, etc. actress). Thanks. :)

I have a question about the menus on the right side. All 4 are text: Gallery Menu, User Menu, etc. within <h3> tags. So I can change that. But what I want is like when you look at the top of the theme. There it says in english 'Category', and... when the language change to spanish, it will say 'Categoria'.
I see in the template.php it is created as '{category}', but when I use this in the template.html it will display as text.
How do I change the Menu titles dynamically?
-
You will find a lot of good info. about theming in general by searching in this general topic.
But to answer your question to get you started...
1) The languages start within the files inside the directory lang. You can add new arrays as you wish, change the existing arrays or even use a whole new array or files. Since you are using English here open up/edit the file lang/english.php and you will see what I mean. Open other lang files and you will see the same expressions translated.
2) Your theme.php then reads the array (you must already have that file opened) in a format like this example....
$lang_main_menu['login_title']
3) The template.html is then a "blank sheet" that theme.php "writes" to. Because it is only that "blank sheet" it cannot perform cpg actions by itself. What you want to change/add will need to go into theme.php.
Take your time, learn a little more, poke and probe into the files in your Coppermine and you will be fine.
Since this has been written for both you and all who follow this thread........
The theme i-feel-dirty-2 calls a missing image - it will generate errors on your server. The image is named bodybg2.gif. There is an image in the i-feel-dirty (first version?) images dir. with the same name. I am not too sure yet if it is the right one.
It is certainly a very nice theme!
-
In theme.php I see this code:
// HTML template for the category list
$template_cat_list = <<<EOT
<!-- BEGIN header -->
<tr>
<td class="tableh1" width="80%" align="left"><b>{CATEGORY}</b></td>
<td class="tableh1" width="10%" align="center"><b>{ALBUMS}</b></td>
<td class="tableh1" width="10%" align="center"><b>{PICTURES}</b></td>
</tr>
<!-- END header -->
In the english.php I see:
$lang_cat_list = array(
'category' => 'Category',
'albums' => 'Albums',
'pictures' => 'Files',
);
And I know somehow according to another language chosen the {CATEGORY} as well as the other two, will be displayed in another language. Now all I want is to add this in the template.html since in there they also put it in those braces. But somehow it dont work???
I dont have to play with the language files because it is also in there as 'category'.
I really don't know anymore.
-
1) You are over-posting, someone is rightfully in this case going to ask you to slow down and start reading more!
2) Remove the <h3>Gallery Menu</h3> from template - (again) start looking at theme.php here
// HTML template for sub menu
$template_sub_menu = <<<EOT
<!-- BEGIN custom_link -->
change to/add:
// HTML template for sub menu
$template_sub_menu = <<<EOT
<h3>{YOUR NEW NAME FOR THE GALLERY MENU}</h3>
<!-- BEGIN custom_link -->
Then around line 537 find:
$param = array(
'{ALB_LIST_TGT}' => "index.php$cat_l",
And add something like:
$param = array(
'{YOUR NEW NAME FOR THE GALLERY MENU}' => $lang_main_menu['xxx_yyy_whatever you choose'],
'{ALB_LIST_TGT}' => "index.php$cat_l",
I really don't know anymore.
I hope your brain isn't too full, you must start learning, experimenting and testing now.

@emjay_smitten: you already have an open thread on exactly the same issue (http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php/topic,63444.0.html). Resolve your questions properly! Stay out of this announcement thread and use the thread of your own. SPreading your questions over multiple threads is bad and causes double support and moderation work. Don't.
-
Well, I am oh so sorry, but you redirected me there after I had posted here. So I did what you told me.
You can try to tell it in a more friendly way.
Thanks
No. My bad. I see you are right! It was indeed another thread to. You are SHARP!!!
Thanks.
