[Solved]: Rin - Theme Album list on startpage

[iFritz]

Hi,

how can i change this theme, to see the album list(with thumbs etc.) on the main page?
Like it is on the default template.
Cause now, i can see them only if i click at a category on the startpage.

In which aspect does Rin and Classic differ in your opinion (well of course except the styling)? See attachments.

[iFritz]

I know. Its not working for my installtion.
See the picture attached. the startpage shows thumbs from the category and its albums.

This Screenshot comes from the demo page with the "proviolet" theme.
BTW: the "acid" theme does this as well.

That's a config option, not a matter of theming.

Does "what" as well?

I did configure it like the manual said,
but /alblist/ does not work.

The acid theme shows the album list as well.

The option you show on the above screenshot is not being controlled by the config option "The content of the Main Page". There is no difference if you have "alblist" set in "the Content of the Main Page" or not. You should keep catlist and alblist in that option no matter what - the index page would be empty otherwise.
What actually controls the thumbnails with the red arrows on your screenshot are the config options "Show first level album thumbnails in categories" and "Number of levels of categories to display". Both config options can be overridden in particular theme files - you should read the announcement threads for the corresponding themes or take a look at the particular theme's theme.php file. You control/override them with the variable definitions

Code Select Expand

$CONFIG['first_level']and

Code Select Expand

$CONFIG['subcat_level']in theme.php
The theme "Rin" actually overrides the config field, that's why it contains the line

Code Select Expand

$CONFIG['first_level'] = 0 ; //sets "Show first level album thumbnails in categories = no"., as Gizmo pointed out in the announcement thread.

Not sure why you keep jumping from theme to theme: decide for one and stick to it. Why do you refer to the theme "Rin" initially and then jumo to "Acid"?

Thank you very much. This sorted it.
I'm only using the "rin" theme. The screenshots from other themes should only demonstrate what i have ment.
