Is it possible to hide empty albums/categories until a file are uploaded to that album/category?
I have searched the forum but could only find an answer to my question for coppermine version 1.3

To hide empty categories, copy the function theme_display_cat_list to your theme.php file if it doesn't exist. Then, comment out

Code Select Expand

echo template_eval($template_noalb, $params);


To hide empty albums, copy the functions theme_display_album_list and theme_display_album_list_cat to your theme.php file if they don't exist. Then, find

Code Select Expand

foreach($alb_list as $album) {
and below, add

Code Select Expand

            if ($album['pic_count'] == 0) {
                continue;
            }
in both functions.

Have a look at the file 'theme.php' in your theme folder. If the mentioned functions aren't present, copy them from themes/sample/theme.php to your theme's theme.php file, directly before the closing

?>

I now have the sections:
theme_display_cat_list
theme_display_album_list
and
theme_display_album_list_cat
in my theme.php, my theme is hardwired
I copied the sections from the sample theme as you mentioned and put it before the closing, but i still see the category and albums that are empty.
The page are now live at http://galleri.fkljusdal.se
What can be wrong?
Thanks in advance

After som more testing i succeded to hide albums, not the empty ones though, it, what can be wrong?

Don't forget to apply the modifications.

Done that now but still it hide to much, it hides both empty albums and albums with photos in, i have done albums for some categories like nature, portrait and so on, and on the first page the albums doesnt show, but if i look at the user galleries it show all users photos, is it that the photos are just linked to the albums or?

[Αndré]

So the albums that will be hidden incorrectly contain just linked files, but no 'real' files?

[palm3ro]

Yes thats right.

Replace the above code with

Code Select Expand

            if ($album['pic_count'] == 0 && $album['link_pic_count'] == 0) {
                continue;
            }

[palm3ro]

Then i added the code
if ($album['pic_count'] == 0 && $album['link_pic_count'] == 0) {
                continue;
            }

[palm3ro]

Try again
Then i added the code

if ($album['pic_count'] == 0 && $album['link_pic_count'] == 0) {
                continue;
            }

then the page only became white, nothing at all to see, i thought it could be a missing ( before at the second $album, but no.
More ideas thanks.

Please attach your theme.php file to your next reply.

Now i partly succeded but the photos shows up in only one column, settings are two columns.
What need to be done?
And new question appeared, is it possible to show the text,
(example, 10 albums even though it are 11 albums) and then it are photos in the 11:th album it show the text 11 in the text below the albums?

[Αndré]

You accidentally overwrote the

Code Select Expand

$count ++;
in both functions. Restore the original functions and re-apply the changes.

[palm3ro]

Now it are one album that are seåarated from the other ones, see http://galleri.fkljusdal.se new code added.

[Αndré]

You have to put the code between

Code Select Expand

foreach($alb_list as $album) {
and

Code Select Expand

$count ++;

What about my new question, should i start a new subject/question or is it possible to find the answer elsewhere in the forum?
