Hi!
I'm using the classic template and I've just added a sidebar on the left of my gallery. What I'm trying to do is to move some buttons of the menu and the admin menu there.
'Log-in, most viewed, top rated, my favorites, search, download' should go inside the sidebar whereas album list, last uploads, last comments should stay in their default position.
How do I do that? I searched the board but with no luck.
Depends on the setup of your "sidebar". Posting a link to your coppermine-driven page might be a good start.
http://www.gsrfan.com/gallery/index.php
The only file I edited is template.html, I'm attaching it to this post.
Just to give a better idea, this (http://img172.imageshack.us/img172/7373/galleryvq1.jpg) is what I'm trying to do. Anyone?
After all, this issue is nearly identical to your other open thread: http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php?topic=37311.0
Anyway, just move the tokens in curly brackets where you want them:<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

</html>Will move the menus in question to your sidebar. You'll need to edit theme.php as well if you want a vertical menu.
Ok, thanks. But how do I move only certain items?
Moving the sys_menu or the sub_menu tokens will change the position of the menu as a whole...I'd like to be able to split it and change the position of just some of the items. Is it possible?
Well, then move the sys_menu only and leave the sub_menu where it used to be (or vice versa). Then edit the content of both menus by editing theme.php
What's the right code to put into theme.php?
I tried editing the sub_menu first but all I could do was add/remove items, I wasn't able to move them separately.
I haven't found a tutorial anywhere so I took a look at the code of all the premade themes but there's no such thing as a split menu for any of them. :-\
Did you look at above code and how I changed things? Just move one placeholder token then, leaving the other where it used to be, like this:<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

</html>An example for a split menu is Blix (http://coppermine-gallery.net/demo/cpg14x/index.php?theme=blix)
I think I confused you. :)
Let's pretend I got rid of the SYS_MENU token and consider for a moment the SUB_MENU token only.
Blix has a vertical menu but all the items are still viewed as a group. Let's say for example I want to move the menu at the bottom of the page...what I have to do is move the SUB_MENU token at the bottom of the page accordingly.
And this is what I will see "Album list, Last uploads, Last comments, Most viewed, Top rated, My Favorites, Search".
But what if I want "Album list, Last uploads, Last comments" to be at the top of the page and "Most viewed, Top rated, My Favorites, Search" at the bottom? This is what I meant with 'split items'. :)
Then you need to exchange links between $sys_menu_buttons and $sub_menu_buttons variables
Almost there. I modified the links in theme.php, they're now inside the sidebar but I'm clearly doing something wrong because the links text show up as 'TOPN_LNK, TOPRATED_LNK, FAV_LNK, SEARCH_LNK', same for the url (site.com/gallery/TOPN_LNK) :-[

You should also change theme_main_menu function
Copy it from themes/sample/theme.php to your theme.php and then define those placeholders on the actual $params
for example if you want My Favorites link to be under sys menu you should put {FAV_LNK},{FAV_TITLE},{FAV_TGT} place holders to sys menu $params array instead
Let me know if it's not clear ...
It works now! Thanks a lot Sami. :D
