If the thumbnail for
all albums are meant to be the same, that's not actually a thumbnail, but just an image you use as a sort of bullet for the album name. This can be accomliplished by editing the theme accordingly. To do so, edit themes/yourtheme/theme.php with a plain text editor (notepad.exe is fine). Find
$template_album_list =
and edit as suggested below. If that section doesn't exist in your custom theme, copy
// HTML template for the album list
$template_album_list = <<<EOT
<!-- BEGIN stat_row -->
<tr>
<td colspan="{COLUMNS}" class="tableh1" align="center"><span class="statlink">{STATISTICS}</span></td>

<!-- END stat_row -->

?>
Now you just add the bullet as you see fit, e.g. by changing
<a href="{ALB_LINK_TGT}" class="albums">{ALB_LINK_PIC}<br /></a>
to
<a href="{ALB_LINK_TGT}" class="albums"><img src="path/to/your/custom/bullett.jpg" border="0" width="100" height="100" alt="" align="left" />{ALB_LINK_PIC}<br /></a>
Alternatively, you can take care of the section that populates the
{ALB_LINK_PIC} placeholder token (happens in the function
theme_display_album_list that you need to copy first from the sample theme to your custom theme if it doesn't exist there).
As a third alternative, you could add another generic thumbnail image to the dropwdown list of the album properties screen, which would require an alltogether different coding approach.
Neither the thread starter did as suggested (posting a link to his/her gallery) nor did the poster of the follow-up, so actually none of you deserves a detailed answer: you haven't bothered to respect rules and spend some time reading, so why should supporters spend time on the answer? Yet I still replied and posted a lot of food for thought. Before doing anything else or trying to come up with lame excuses (being new is a very poor excuse for being too lazy to read first), read up
board rules now and do as suggested there.
The answer to the initial question
Is that at all possible with coppermine?
is "Yes". If that's not the expected answer, review your question.
