Hallo, thats my first post here

I have a problem with this theme, on the main page at category list I do not have an album photo thumbnails.  I have marked already a tick at "show thumbnails of the first level in category section" in "reviewing catalog list" section (I translate it from a Polish language version). But after reloading of my gallery it changes nothing and after return to this menu that tick is not marked again. It looks that its blocked.
This is a superb theme, perfect for photos, elegant, neat and clear but that issue disqualifies it for my purpouses.
I have done some modifies, I moved a sidebar menu to the bottom of the page (between last gallery photos and "powered by..." inscription)  and thanks to this I have gained a lot of additional space for photos but I am even not a beginner in html etc. and it does not look good, I have additional problems with removing a thin vertical bar and I do not know how to arrange menus from  a right sidebar in a horrizontal arrangment.
Mayby some more advanced users would by so kind to move a right sidebar to bottom of the page in a horizontal arrangment I am unable to do it correctly
I think that these two isuues might be very useful for many users interested in good theme for photogallery but without right sidebar and with visible all albums at main page. PArticullary, that so far there is a little quantity of a dark themes for CPG 1.5xx and they are in my opinion the best for a photo galleries.



ps sorry for my English, I am not used to write down in this language but much better in reading.

My test gallery shows album and category thumbs fine. Please start a new thread on the themes board with your questions, this is an announcement thread and the customizations you want are beyond what this thread is for. Don't forget to post a link to your gallery.

Also please contribute any language files you have created.

Jeff, thank you for posting this theme!

One small edit:

this code

Code Select Expand

'{CAPTION}'    => myTruncate($thumb['caption'], 120, " "), // changing the number changes the # of characters printed for the thumbnail caption.

change to this

Code Select Expand

'{CAPTION}'    => myTruncate($thumb['caption'], 1320, " "), // changing the number changes the # of characters printed for the thumbnail caption.

to prevent truncating html symbols.

so Chaoticsoul theme will look like this.

Recently a user posted an issue in the German support board with this theme: http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php/topic,77189.0.html

I fixed the issue by removing the third parameter from the function call instead of increasing the value of the second parameter. It's probably a good idea to include one or the other fix to an updated theme version.

Added small javascript for random picture loading (depending on the season) in site's header.

You can check it with F5!
