I'm of the opinion that hooks should only change between major revisions like 1.4 and 1.5.

I also think that we need to rethink the placement of some of the existing plugin hooks, and we need more consistency in naming.  The place to make these changes are in the devel version, not stable.

Donnoman is absolutely right, that's something we agreed upon: no hooks (which would equal a new feature) will be added for an existing release to avoid confusion what version of a plugin will work with which version of coppermine. Only bug-fixes are permitted to be added to the cvs of a stable release. New features must only be added to the devel branch.

I'm trying to do this:  I want to keep from displaying one whole category.  I have a NSFW Gallery, that I don't want to be shown on the main page only.  I have blocked all the albums, but now when I go to that particular category, where I have blocked all the albums, I get an error: 
Critical error
There was an error while processing a database query 

Any suggestions?

I just noticed today that the plugin causes the items in excluded album not to show up even when viewing the album: http://takethu.com/thumbnails.php?album=73

If I uninstall the plugin, the thumbnails show up. I downloaded the plugin again and did a diff and the only difference to my code is the list of excluded album ids.

Does this work?

Thank you donnoman.

Try this code as codebase.php. It suppresses the filters when viewing the albums directly and is coded more simply.

Thanks, That works better except for one issue.

If the excluded album is the ONLY album of a given member, when you click on that gallery from the index the latest addition and random image block under that album report "No images to display" You can click the one main album thumbnail to get to the thumbnail page however.

Thank You.

Ok well I installed and did everything it says to do and I only have one problem.  Well when I click pictures in the filtered album i get No image to display. Is there something else I need to edit?? If so let me know thanks again for your time reading this post

I just released Unwanted_Metas 2.0 that eliminates the need for  modding displayimage.php and has fixed all of the known issues, and includes a graphical interface to select the albums.

Thanks for a new plugin.  If I may comment: The selection list only lists my own albums and shared albums....Some of the excludes I would do are uselessly large member galleries...they are not listed in the drop-down list...where can I add their album ID to the code manually since I cannot select them automatically?

Thank You Donnoman

Very nice plugin! Extremely useful.

One point though: If I exclude a user album and its 'the only' album by that user, no images are displayed on their album page except for the main gallery image at the top table. It makes sense that the album is excluded from all meta albums (random, latest). Is there anyway to isolate the exclusion to take effect on the index page only so it is not global?

Thanks again for the nice plugin!

Why do you reply here? Donnoman told you were to turn for support.
