Centering Thumbs On Main Page

[nightmareaftershock]

Until now, Coppermine has always been my go-to photo gallery... I am fairly knowledgeable in my php as far as editing... so this is perplexing me..

http://www.insaneshaneparty.com/photos

I am simply trying to center the album in the category... and I have tried everything from editing the CSS to going through the index.php file in both the template and the sample, editing, etc, with no Success. Any help greatly appreciated. All I really need is a point in the right direction!

Thanks so much!

You can't center the album without editing the table structure. Go to your custom themes theme.php and edit these sections.

Here is the issue I am running into with that:

The Theme I am using, rainy_day, says only THIS in the theme file:

That is it, nothing more.. so can I simply add the above code? Or must I edit the sample template's theme file?

[Jeff Bailey]

Add the two sections I pasted into your theme.php right above the closing ?>
Please read the docs on theme editing http://documentation.coppermine-gallery.net/en/theme_create.htm#theme_create

I have done as you suggested, edited everything to center, and still, you can see on this website http://www.insaneshaneparty.com/photos that this has not centered anything. I have also read that link you posted, yet after editing, still nothing has changed regarding centering. =/

[Αndré]

I assume you want to display the album thumbnail centered to your whole website? If so, as long as one column has a width of 100% it will moves the rest to the far left/right. Just decrease the width of that column(s).

[nightmareaftershock]

EXCELLENT to the both of you. I simply continued to edit the width of columns and centering until I achieved the desired effect. Much appreciation to the both of you! =)

Thank you again.
