Is it possible to open a separate instance of the gallery outside of any theme? My reason is, that I'd like to have a link to open a smaller pop up window from my SMF forum's post form to select photos to put in the forum posts. I was able to mess with the BBCode plugin a bit, and got it so that when you click on the bbcode URL it places it directly in the post on the forum. I thought it would be great if I could open a bare-bones gallery to select from. Kind of a poor man's image chooser if you will. :)

I'm not quite sure how that popup should look like, but I think you have 3 possibilities:
1. Create a custom theme and remove all unneeded stuff
2. Use the CPMFetch plugin
3. Code your image chooser from scratch

Thank you for the reply.
My reason for having a smaller window, was simply so the user could actually see that when the embed link was clicked, that the code would appear in his post box. I didn't want the gallery within the popup to have scroll bars left and right, because that just looks bad. My gallery has a large banner on the top from a site sponsor, so that was the real limiting factor of the window collapsing down, not really coppermine itself, as a little tinkering with ccs allows the window to be even smaller in the curve theme.
I have accomplished what I wanted to do in a different way. I used jquery to replace the top large banner image with a transparent 1px by 1 px png whenever the gallery window is reduced or called at less than a given width. Works very well. I wish I was better at coding, as my code for the insert is ugly. It only works because of much trial and error, not because I know anything about what I'm was trying to do. :)
