The Chaoticsoul theme would just need 3-4 coding changes to work okay with CPG 1.6.x and PHP 7+.

Yes, CPG is old (and shows its age) ... but if you can find another self-hosted photo gallery package that is easy to setup and use, please let us know what it is.

It's a database coding issue.
Try adding:

Code: [Select]

$CONFIG['dbcharset'] = 'utf8';to your include/config.inc.php file.

Hello friends!!. There are only two themes available for version 1.6x? I want to update from 1.5.48 to 1.6x but I use the "Chaoticsoul" theme and I don't want to lose it. I imagine that when I update I will not be able to use my current theme, correct? 

I am sorry that Coppermine Gallery has become somewhat old, I imagine that other platforms are more used today  .

Thanks! 

Hello friends, I have changed the server and I have solved a problem that I had with the php version of the server (I had to go down to 5.6). Now my website is working again but I have a UTF-8 encoding problem (before the change of the server it did not happen to me).

In some parts of Coppermine the characters do not come out correctly, an examples;

Word that should come out: Fotografía, Orquídeas, Rincón, Álbum
Word that comes out: Fotografía, Orquídeas, Rincón, álbum

I have checked with the Coppermine php files because the html of the index does not have this problem, but neither do some files that I have uploaded, for example:
https://www.adolfoventas.es/galeria/perfil.php

It also doesn't happen on any of the pages created with minicms.

What could be happening? I could change all the words, one at a time, but it's a very big job.

Thank you very much!

Is the link in your post signature to your current (new host) website? If so, and your database is in place, you should only need to upgrade to CPG 1.6.x

Thank you very much, I finally copied all the files and the database. I changed the data in Coppermine of the imported database but the web gave me an error. Finally, it was a problem with the PHP version, the new hosting used version 7.6 and I had to go down to 5.6.40.

I want to follow your advice and upgrade to Coppermine 1.6 but I think some plugins won't work. I see that miniCMS works in 1.6x, there is no plugin for LightBox, but it would not be a problem. I'll consider upgrading, thanks for the advice!

Hello friends;

My hosting has been closed, I have had time to make a backup of my Coppermine and the database. I have a new hosting and I am about to upload my Coppermine, should I install Coppermine from the beginning and then upload my modifications and database? Would it be enough to upload Coppermine from my computer without having to reinstall?

I have reviewed the documentation but I have not seen how to port coppermine, I have only seen how to install from scratch

Thank you very much

Ah! Good point. It appears to be working well right now!

I've added the appropriate and desired plugins.

I've also added the core water_drop theme. Having an alternate theme available makes administration of your gallery a bit easier by not having to fight with your normal theme graphics/backgrounds/etc.
https://kaley-cuoco.net/gallery/?theme=water_drop
That causes the different theme to be temporarily used only on the device you are currently using.
To switch your local device back to seeing the default theme:
https://kaley-cuoco.net/gallery/?theme=xyz  (or any non-existent theme name)

In der Konfiguration kann man die Sichtbarkeit für Besucher aus 4 unterschiedlichen Optionen auswählen/einstelen.

Du mußt die oberste Option auswählen, bei der nicht angemeldete User weder Bilder noch Thumbs sehen können. (In meiner Coppermine-Datenbank ist dies zur Zeit so eingestellt.)

Gruß
