cpg1.6 miscellaneous / 1.6.27 error message
Last post by nukeworker - Yesterday at 09:12:16 PM[06-Mar-2026 19:19:17 UTC] PHP Deprecated: Optional parameter $showYear declared before required parameter $only_future_dates is implicitly treated as a required parameter in /pictures/calendar.php on line 233
This PHP error occurs because of a change in PHP 8.0+ regarding how function parameters are handled. In older versions, you could place an optional parameter (one with a default value) before a required parameter, but this is now deprecated because it's logically inconsistent.
Old
New:
While you are at it, there are a few other spots in this specific file that will likely trigger the same or similar issues in PHP 8.x:
Line 161 (getMonthView): The call to getMonthHTML here only passes 4 arguments. By adding the = false default above, this line will now work correctly without modification.
Lines 304–318 (getYearHTML): These lines call getMonthHTML with only 3 arguments (missing the $only_future_dates entirely).
Current code: $this->getMonthHTML(0 + $this->startMonth, $year, 0)
Need to add the default value to the function definition, then these calls will now automatically use false for the missing 4th argument, and the error will vanish.

Last post by ron4mac - Yesterday at 07:05:39 PMOr you can, in the theme's style.css file, find (or add if not present) an entry for .album_stat and add display:none to it.
Code Select
.album_stat {

display: none;

Last post by 406man - Yesterday at 02:29:56 PMI've wondered the same thing myself so thought I'd take a look.
There's no way of suppressing the display of the album information using settings in the gallery configuration. Display of the text itself can be prevented by adding some PHP code to your theme.php file. If you don't already have function theme_album_info in your theme, add the following code:
If you already use function theme_album_info it's going to need to be modified to return an empty string.
The text no longer appears but the table column is still there.
You may want to make further modifications to the layout as the album thumbnails and text are all left justified which looks odd when the album statistics are no longer displayed. But anyway, hope you find this useful.

Last post by zeppo - March 05, 2026, 07:14:29 PMHi Friends,
I updated to 1.6 version.
All is mostly fine, but in album view theme shows album statistics, and breaks the theme.
I couldn't find a way to hide statistics form viewers.

cpg1.6 install / Re: Update from cpg 1.5.48 –> ...
Last post by ron4mac - February 15, 2026, 10:53:24 PMUpgrading to CPG 1.6.x from 1.5.48: It would seem, since you refer to step 4, you are trying to perform an install, not an upgrade. Easiest method to upgrade 1.5.48 to 1.6.x can be found here: https://coppermine-gallery.com/forum/index.php/topic,79013.0.html. Copy your old site to the new one along with the database. Make any needed changes to the include/config.inc.php to reflect any new database name or credentials. Then run the cpg_installer_stub to perform the update for you.
If your new server is fully controlled by you, you need to make sure that a number of required PHP modules have been installed.
Language files: Once upgraded, you can use a language utility script to help identify where updates are needed for the Finnish language. Access ... <your 1.6.x site>/lang_check.php
HTH

Last post by zeppo - February 14, 2026, 07:36:05 PMThanks 406man & Joe!
Now both language versiona work.
I updated language files & theme php. And then run the update.php
Now both are working. Still some tuning needed.
Is there a wotking Finnish language file in 1.6?
