Custom Thumbnails for Albums?

[floatingworld]

Hi,

I found this thread about creating customized thumbnails to be displayed for each album: http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php?topic=8238.0

Is this still the only way to do this?

Thanks in advance.

If you want to use a picture that's not in the album, yes. You could try using bbcode in the album description instead.

[floatingworld]

Thanks for the quick reply... When you say bbcode, do you mean I could insert a file link to a thumbnail image there?

Aaron

[Nibbler]

Yeah, using an [img] tag.

[floatingworld]

Thanks again for the quick reply

Using bbcode looks like the easiest way to go- But that means I have to disable thumbnails for Albums. Do I do this in Config>Album list?

[floatingworld]

I disbale thumbnails for albums but they are still showing

[Nibbler]

Copy $template_album_list from the sample theme to your theme.php and remove the thumbnail image from the code. Look for {ALB_LINK_PIC}

[floatingworld]

Where is the "sample theme?" I am using Coppermine as an intergation in Joomla using the intergation component from http://www.joombla.com....

I have three themes showing:
classic
joombla
joombla_black


Where is the "sample theme" located?

Thanks in advance,

[Nibbler]

Strange, but my theme.php is very simple:

I can't see where I'd add the $template_album_list....

Furthermore... I erased part of this file, such as the table cell with the thumbnail class, and nothing happened...

I'm confused.

[floatingworld]

I have attached a screenshot of what I'm seeing... notice the empty table cell on the left. I want to remove this from the layout.

I searched through the sample theme.php, but I was a bit confused. I pasted what I think to be the correct code in the theme.php I am using here it it. Can anyone tell me what's wrong?:

Will definitely not work -

Code Select Expand

if (!isset($template_album_list))  //{THEMES}is not suppossed to go into theme.php. If you have pasted the full code into your posting, you should have gotten an error message.

P.S. Please use the code-button (the one with the #-sign on it) to post code on this board.

I did not get an error message.... But I have removed that part as suggetsed. Thanks!
