Hardwood - for Coppermine Gallery 1.3.x

[donnoman]

I couldn't find a "wood" theme, so I cracked open a few web pages and made my own.

I packaged it up in hopes others might find it usefull.

The Blue OX logo isn't included (who would want it?), but the source .psd's are; so you can create you own logo slice easily.

There is a placeholder image so the theme is seamless without the logo if you so desire.

Included is a screenshot and the website http://www.geocities.com/donnoman has a simple preview of it.

I'm not sure of how I submit it directly to be considered for the sourceforge project. If there's any additional steps can someone post them for me.

The theme can be downloaded from http://www.geocities.com/donnoman

Thanks and enjoy.

Excellent work - you did well in posting it on the support board ("regular" users can't start new threads on the themes board, we move actual theme contributions there).
The theme can previewed in the demo and downloaded from the sf.net download repository as well. Thanks for the contribution.

GauGau thanks for posting it on the demo site and hosting it on SF.

I immediately saw a couple flaws in my template.html when used with a Gallery name that wrapped and caused the title area to expand.

I have installed a test CPG Server to do further development, and I have every option turned on, with a long gallery name so that I can catch these problems early on.

I have fixed the flaws and cleaned up the CSS settings a bit, and have a new version for you.

Release Notes:

Hardwood 1.1 11/7/2004 Donovan Bray, donnoman@donovanbray.com

Known Issues:

The "Home" button in the Menu1 area isn't localized. If you need to edit it you can find it in theme.php.

Revision History:

11/7/2004 1.1
Fixed Template.html Problems with large title sections and small window sizes.
Added a fixed logo slice that isn't repeated when the Title Section Expands (template_r2_c10.logo.gif)
It's no longer necessary or desired to replace template_r2_c10.gif; It repeats if the Title Slice expands. Replace template_r2_c10.logo.gif instead.
In the released Theme: template_r2_c10.gif and template_r2_c10.logo.gif are exactly the same, the notes above explain how they are used.
The logo slice is now a HREF to the document root of the current URL.
Edited the class file to update the listbox background colors.
Edited the class file to use white for default links
Replaced the rating .gifs with those of the CPG 1.32 Fruity Theme.

In the future would you prefer I just attach the zipped theme to this post?

In the future would you prefer I just attach the zipped theme to this post?

yes, attaching zip files is the easiest method for me.

Uploading new stuff to both the demo and the download repository is quite complicated, that's why I have to ask: do you expect to release a new version of hardwood in the near future (within days)? I will then update the file in the repository only once. If you think the above mentioned version is pretty stable, please post, so I can replace the package.

That is the most stable version there is, and don't expect to update it for a while. The only known issue is not being able to localize the "Home" button, but that's not critical by itself. I'll wait until I have more things to include. 

The only reason I updated it so quickly was because of the glaring error I saw once it was hosted on the demo site. 

I setup my own test server with everything turned on so I can catch those kinds of things in the future. 

I intend on working on more coppermine related projects so it was helpful to know your preferred method anyway.

Thanks GauGau

[Joachim Müller]

Thanks for the clarification - I updated the package in the download section and demo (updated my previous posting that contains the links as well). I'm looking forward to your future contributions

donnoman, excellent theme. I am using it at http://wwgallery.dungeonkeepersdomain.com

Question. Your screenshot shows an image on the right hand side (to the right of the gallery title). I see no way to get and image there. Can you tell me how to do it. Also, can you tell me how to modify the them so that it displays a graphic rather than the name of the gallery?

[donnoman]

for the logo on the right you just need to replace template_r2_c10.gif

If you want an image instead of the gallery name just find the following in template.html:

Code Select Expand


<h1>&nbsp;{GAL_NAME}</h1>


and replace it with an image tag

[Charles Scott]

Very cool. Thank you.

Can you tell me how to add an additional button right before the "Home" button. this is a simular question that I asked about your powerbook theme.

[donnoman]

Home is ALREADY a custom button.

just copy the whole thing between <!-- BEGIN home --> and  <!-- END home --> and put it before the real <!-- BEGIN home -->

[Charles Scott]

Very cool. Thank you
