Title: How do you change the album view?
Post by: Fabrian on February 01, 2006, 05:33:30 AM
Am I missing something?  How do you change the way albums are viewed....Meaning, having the albums be directly displayed below the catagory as in this demo. http://coppermine-gallery.net/demo/cpg13x/index.php

In Config, show first level albums or something like that.

Under "Album List View" it says, "Show first level album *thumbnails*  in categories"  This is how it is set by default, it still isn't layed out like the demo I had linked to.

I just realized that demo is 13x, I wonder if that's why..I've never used anything before 1.4.2.  Even still, I'd like to know how to have the albums viewed directly under the catagory.

Make sure you have 'alblist' http://coppermine-gallery.net/demo/cpg14x/docs/faq.htm#NoLastUploads

I wondered if what I'm looking for may be just some input for the "content of the main page" field under Album list view.  It's not my problem though, mine is set to: breadcrumb/catlist/alblist/random,1/lastup,1. 

Ugh, I would be pretty happy if I could get that layout.  It's what I'm looking for.

Problem solved.  I'm losing my marbles.  It's a good thing I still know the draws go inside the pants....

For the benefit of anyone who has the same question, what was the problem?

You were right.  For some reason it wouldn't change to "yes" for show first level..  I got it to work by restoring defaults in config.  I have no idea why it wouldn't work before that.  I wish I had something more groundbreaking for a solution, but that's it. 

What made me initially scratch my head was my layout looked like this http://coppermine-gallery.net/demo/cpg14x/index.php but here http://coppermine-gallery.net/demo/cpg13x/index.php was different (with the albums displayed under the catagory).  I would never have known it could be this way if I hadn't seen the demo for the 13x link.

Thank you for your help, I'm always grateful for this kind of support.
