See the picture... If you use Mozilla you would be familiar with sidebars if you are not and still use Mozilla then hit F9 and the side bar panel will open. This is a utility which will add another tab to this sidebar panel which will show you
1. The categories and albums of the given coppermine gallery in a tree structure. It respects user permissions
2. It has a tiny search form which will allow you to search the gallery
3. It can show the thumbnail of last uploaded picture
It has user setable themes and also the user can set the number of thumbnails she wants to see... This is cookie based and does not take up any server resource. It works with
Mozilla 1.0 (and all avian and canine variants), Konq 3.2, Opera6+ and Internet Explorer 5+How do I install it on my server?Presuming that you have a working Coppermine setup, Download the sidebar zip file from
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/coppermine/cpg1.2_sideBar.zip?download , unzip the contents and just upload all of them in the same folder as your Coppermine files, thats it!!
But how do I see it?!Once you have uploaded all the files just point your browser at
http://yourdomain.com/pathToYourGallery/sidebarInstall.php and follow the instructions there.
It is great but I don't like any of your themes...Themes are controlled by the tree graphics and a CSS file, the graphics and CSS file are in the themes subfolder of the sidebar folder, you can change the graphics and CSS to suit yourself, if you feel that you have come up with a particularly great theme let me know I would be glad to bundle it with the distribution files.
Did you make this all by yourself?No I used phpLayersMenu for tree generation and the idea itself crystalised when I saw Sitebar. Aditya Mooley aditya@sanisoft.com wrote two functions which I was too lazy to write
Is this free software?Yes! this is a free software under the terms of GNU Public License.
DOWNLOAD FROMhttp://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/coppermine/cpg1.2_sideBar.zip?downloadNotes'Target address for the 'See more pictures' link' in config should have a trailing '/' for the sidebarInstall.php to provide proper paths.
Comment out lines 12 and 16 in the file sidebar/libs/layersmenu-common.inc.php if you are having problems with safe_mode or PEAR
