I have been trying to figure this out for some time now, but I can not. I have the gallery set up so certain members can create their own albums, in a separate category. However, one of my members done something I can not figure out. They created a new set of albums, but I can not remove it :S I just want to delete the album so it doesn't appear on the list. As you can see by the image below, it says there are 6 albums containing 8 files, but when you click into it, it is empty :S
[edit GauGau] replaced hotlinked image with attachment [/edit]
You forgot to attach the screenshot that you have refered to. Post a link to your gallery for a start.
The screen shot is working fine for me, and it isn't hot link protected or anything. My sites gallery is also unavailable to guests, but the site is www.hirescovers.net

Post a deep link to the page where you took that screenshot.

Thanks for looking
Well, the thumbnail http://www.hirescovers.net/gallery/albums/batch/s_3/thumb_starwars_20.jpg that is suppossed to represent the album http://www.hirescovers.net/gallery/index.php?cat=10003 is missing. Seems like you deleteted the file using your FTP app (instead of using the Coppermine UI).
The problem is, it was created by an old administrator of the site, and I am not sure exactly what they have done. It isn't just the thumbnail that is missing. If you go into the album, which is supposed to have 6 albums and 8 files, it is empty. I simply just want to remove that album from showing.
In phpMyAdmin or similar, run a query like this:
QuoteDELETE FROM `YourCoppermineTablePrefix_albums` WHERE `aid` = 10003 LIMIT 1;
Thanks GauGau - will that just remove the album, or will it remove all of folder 10003. I only ask as folder 10003 has something around 10000 images in it, so obviously I do not want to lose them.
The query run on the database will not delete files nor folders. It will remove the album. If you're afraid to do anything wrong, backup your database (create a dump) before performing the query. The query will delete the album in coppermine's database, nothing else.
