Hey!
My primary photogallery is "fotopholder", but it is lacking user rating and user comments. So I thought of implementing it there, but gave Coppermine a try before. Now I've muddled around with the water_drop template a little, and the result you can find here: [2]
I did not like the big header, but did not want to fully remove it. So I first tried to put all the menus down below the image, but that did not work. So now I use this CSS-hover-mouseover to hide the user menu, because my users mostly won't need it - it may be a little annoying popping around this way, but it saves lots of space. I also cut most margins down to 0, so you can see most of the 1024 images at a 1024 resolution this way. I need to say that most of my target audience uses more than 1024x768, so its ok like it is. Using 1280x1024 you even can see the movie "strip" below if you use FireFox in FullScreen-Mode (F11). Not perfect, but sufficient for a first try. It would be nice to have a combined breadcrumb and imagenav-bar in one, but that was too much for now. If you like it, take it, and I also may post a zip if wanted.
Is there already a better solution for that slim-theme-thing? And where can I find a theme download-area? That would be great to see what others are doing...
Oh, and I found a little disturbance in EXIF mode when using pictures of the 300D: I have to activate DateTimeOriginal and DateTimeDigitized to get at least one DateTime displayed, if I turn off one of the two, I'll get nothing. Also have a look here: [3].
regards,
Chriss
