Topic: Few questions - how to not show albums on front page etc. (Read 9692 times)

MTM · « **on:** April 28, 2006, 11:55:10 am »

I have a few questions I hope somebody can answer - I have tried searching, but couldn't find the answers.

I'm almost done setting up my gallery at http://martintoft.net/billeder/index.php.

1) How do I change the appearance of the front page of my gallery, so that the albums under the categori isn't shown? I would like to only have the categories shown with their respective thumbnails. I have tried looking in both the theme and on the setup page with no avail.

2) I can't seem to get rid of the 1px lines inside the tables. I'm not a really hardcore html programmer, so it might be some simple tweaking, but I haven't been able to find a place to change it.

3) Sometimes the "Billedoversigt" link on the top left on the page isn't linking to the front page of the album (index.php - index.php?cat=0 will do too I think?), but index.php?cat=3 - how can I make sure it doesn't?

Thanks in advance - it's a great gallery you guys have created

Please respect the 'one question per thread' policy

1.) read the docs http://coppermine-gallery.net/demo/cpg14x/docs/index.htm#admin_album_list
Album list view - Show first level album thumbnails in categories
2.) Post a screenshot
3.) Not sure what you mean, I guess the button 'Album list'.. then this is intended behaviour. To go to the index use the 'home' button. Of course you need to define your gallery index as home page (in config)

Hi MTM,

#2 - The 1px lines are due to 'cellspacing' for table set as 1 and your page's background color is also set. If you change 'cellspacing' as 0 (zero) then it should display as per your need.

#3 - The 'Billedoversigt' link will change according to picture in category you are viewing. To change the link's URL according to your need, open file 'include/themes.inc.php' and find function 'theme_main_menu'. Then change line 1357 from

'{ALB_LIST_TGT}' => "index.php$cat_l",

to

'{ALB_LIST_TGT}' => "index.php",

This should work.

Hi MTM,

#1 - You can remove 'album list' box by changing some code in index.php page.

On line 195 in function 'get_subcat_data', change code from

Code: [Select]

// Check if you need to show subcat_level
if ($level == $CONFIG['subcat_level']) {
    $cat_albums = list_cat_albums($subcat['cid']);
} else {
    $cat_albums = '';
}

to

Code: [Select]

$cat_albums = '';
This will remove album list under each category.

I'm in hurry right now so will probably not have time to try your suggestions before tomorrow, but it looks like I have all the information I need - thank you very much for the fast replies!

I will post again when I have tried your suggestions and tell you if it works

This will be the correct way...

This is the correct suggestion as well:

I have now solved 1) and 3) thanks to you

I can't seem to get rid of those 1 pixel lines, though. You can see a screenshot of which lines I mean here - I guess it's the same lines that runs between e.g. '771' and '67'.
The 'table' was actually created with Div tags, so i tried to replace them with Table tags with cellspacing="0", but it looks exactly the same. I'm doing this in the template.html so it looks like this:

Code: [Select]

<table width="770" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">{GALLERY}</table>
Any suggestions?

in your themes/yourtheme/style.css search for
.maintable
and here modify the border value to your likings

It's not them, it's the 1-pixel blue lines (same colour as the main background) that runs just inside those black borders

Nobody has an idea on how I can get rid of these lines?

As suggested earlier, those lines are the cellspacing. If you set cellspacing to 0 for the maintable then they will disappear, but you lose the other lines too.

Maybe I'm doing something completely wrong here, but I set the cellspacing to 0 in the maintable and nothing happens $:-\$

Code: [Select]

.maintable {
        border: 2px solid #000000;
	cellspacing: 0px;
        margin-top: 10px;
        margin-bottom: 0px;
}

I only have two places where it says cellspacing - they're both set to 0, but I'm pretty sure they have nothing to do with this, since it's the tables above the {GALLERY}.

I assume the code I'm going to change is the

Code: [Select]

<div align="center">{GALLERY}</div> but I have tried to both add cellspacing="0" and make a table with cellspacing="0" instead of using div to no avail.

You got to help me a bit more on that one. I have to add a starttable() function? I'm not much of a php programmer

Nibbler · « **Reply #18 on:** May 01, 2006, 03:27:14 pm »

Copy starttable() function from themes/sample/theme.php into your custom theme if it doesn't already exist, then remove the cellspacing.

Code: [Select]

function starttable($width = '-1', $title = '', $title_colspan = '1')
{
    global $CONFIG;

    if ($width == '-1') $width = $CONFIG['picture_table_width'];
    if ($width == '100%') $width = $CONFIG['main_table_width'];
    echo <<<EOT

<!-- Start standard table -->
<table align="center" width="$width" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="0" class="maintable">

EOT;
    if ($title) {
        echo <<<EOT
        <tr>
                <td class="tableh1" colspan="$title_colspan">$title</td>
        </tr>

EOT;
    }
}
