Hi!

Coppermine is a nice gallery and I enjoy using it, but I desperatly ;-) searching for a way to get a better overview on the main album page.

I'm looking for a directory-like order (folder above files / categories above albums) like this:

CATEGORY A
-- Sub-Category AA
-- Sub-Category AB
-- Sub-Category Ax
-- Album A1
-- Album A2
-- Album Ax

CATEGORY B
-- Sub-Cat BA
-- Album B1

etc.

(The main page displays the root albums and 2 category levels.)


My questions / requests:

- is there a way to move the sub-categories "directory-like" (folders above of files) above of the album list of a sub-category?

- is there a template or a hack that makes it clear (more then actually) that a sub-category belongs to his parent category and the albums in this parent category? Most templates I have tested don't show it in a way that makes it plain to see what belongs to where and where a category ends and where the new category starts.
Maybe with colours or borders or simply adding a free "invisible" table line to part a upper category from a lower one.

- is there a style sheet element that is only responsible for the background color of the table line where the category title is shown?

1) One question per thread!
2) The board you posted on ("Feature requests") is meant for feature requests for fututure versions, as the description of the board clearly says. You are looking for actual answers to some issues, you should have posted on the proper support board. I moved this thread to the board you should have posted on in the first place.

Thanks for moving the topic here - hopefully that does mean that my questions are solveable with the current version of coppermine? ;-)

Sorry for multiple questions, but the questions are related to one topic: to get a better overview within the listing of albums and categories.
