Different number of columns on thumbnail page in different albums

[pytheas]

I use the current default of 4 columns on my thumnail page which is fine up to now.  I have added an album of panoramic photos and therefore only want to display 1 column but only in that one album.

I have looked through all the posts here and cannot find anything.  Ditto with the FAQ and User Docs.

If I have missed a post that answers my questions could you point me in the right direction.

Help would be appreciated.

[not tested]: edit thumbnails.php, find

Code Select Expand

display_thumbnails($album, (isset($cat) ? $cat : 0), $page, $CONFIG['thumbcols'], $CONFIG['thumbrows'], true);and replace with

if ($album == '999') {
    display_thumbnails($album, (isset($cat) ? $cat : 0), $page, 1, $CONFIG['thumbrows'], true);
} else {
    display_thumbnails($album, (isset($cat) ? $cat : 0), $page, $CONFIG['thumbcols'], $CONFIG['thumbrows'], true);
}

(replacing '999' with the actual album ID that is supposed to have only one column).
However,, you will run into issues with meta albums not displaying 1 column only for thumbs from this album.

many thanks for the extremely prompt reply, i had a feeling it would be something in code just didn't have a clue where 

btw when you say i may have issues with meta albums, do you mean albums like last uploaded and most poular?

Any further info would be appreciated.

Coppermine is the best piece of software I have installed on my site.

I have added and uploaded the new code.  I can see what it is trying to do but for some reason it displays 1 row and 3 columns.  When I use the original file I get 2 rows and 4 colums. I am stumped.  I have tried changing the numbers in your code mod but it doesn't work as I expect it to

Replace that block with

Code Select Expand

if ($album == '999') $CONFIG['thumbcols'] = 1;
display_thumbnails($album, (isset($cat) ? $cat : 0), $page, $CONFIG['thumbcols'], $CONFIG['thumbrows'], true);

Replace the 999 as before
