Albums and Category

[dale100]

Hi

Having a few problems, My album and category list/index has disappeared, My photos are still there but can't be sorted because of the missing file(s). now I've made back-ups of my coppermine files a while back but I don't know what coppermine file to reload to see if that will work. Any help please

Thanks
Dale

Hi Frantz

I reuploaded the coppermine files and still nothing, what is the actual coppermine file that holds the category and album list's? or is it a sql file from the database? or index.html?

I have the gallery offline right now till this is fixed but i can pm you the link.

Thanks
Dale

what is the actual coppermine file that holds the category and album list's

they are many files who are used to handle this (theme.inc.php and theme.php from your theme ...)

in the config page, look what is set in album list view->The content of the main page

Post a link to your gallery!
Make sure you haven't made changes in config that stop displaying the category and album list.

Frantz, I have a saved database sql file from a previous coppermine gallery i used before I moved to my current one, it has the album and category structure in it .can I edit the file name and upload it to the sql folder? there is 3 files in that folder and if so which one? basic.sql,,schema.sql,,and  update.sql

Thanks
Dale

basic.sql,,schema.sql,,and  update.sql

those files does'nt contain your database structure.
did you look for the setting int album list view->The content of the main page in the config page ?

As I do not know what you've done it's hard to give you advice. Your database doesn't contain pic, comment, album or category info at all. You've two users, you and the account you created for me.

If you have the pictures on your server harddrive (check by FTP), then I'd say a databse backup that has been created right after installing the gallery has been restored. If you have an up to date db backup, just restore that and you should have back most of your data.

Thanks for all your help Stramm and Frantz, I ended up deleting the gallery from the server and starting with a new copy of Coppermine and will be reuploading the photos ,I don't know what happen or if i overwritten a file by mistake but I think this is the bestway to solve my problem.
Thanks
again
