I am new to Coppermine (and relatively new to PHP). I installed the application just fine and it works just fine with the built in themes, however when I load the matching theme to my phpbb (Zarron's Airhead), I get the following message when I click on a thumbnail:
Template error

I read the FAQ post above here, but I would still appreciate some assistance if anybody here would be so kind. Really, just guidance in finding which file to edit and help with what code to change.
Thank you all very much :)
Don't use 1.3 themes with 1.4
Nibbler, is that the only option? There is no way to get this theme to work???
http://coppermine-gallery.net/demo/cpg14x/docs/theme/index.html
Thank you for trying, but evidently I just don't know enough about creating themes and need more help than those files provided :(
Modding the styles.css file is clear and modding the template.html file is kind of clear...but I have no clue what to do with the "define" statements in the instructions for the theme.php file and the things I did try just didn't work.
If anyone feels like helping out, I would be very much obliged
Thanks again...
I have the same problem and am making progress by deleting the bits of "theme.php" that are causing problems. These therefore are:

Just by highlighting and deleting those two chunks of code in theme.php, I have regained usability of the site.
I'm now experimenting with other variations to bring Airhead up to date (Zaron seemingly no longer bing interested in Coppermine themes any more), but hopefully this will be enough of a stop-gap for you until a CPG 1.4 friendly solution is found.

for 90% of all themes, copying the theme.php file from the classic theme is fine, as most theme.php files don't differ from the classic default page. The differences for most themes lies in the overall layout that is determined by template.html and the color scheme that is determined in style.css
