Open original file bypassing intermidiate, plus cosmetic editing question

[dwdallam]

Hello and thanks for all your time:

(1) What is the easiest way to change the look, tables, sizes, etc., of Coppermine to reflect a sites design? (I understand to use the css file to cahnge colors, but what about widths, graphics--like back and forward buttons--and general layout fo the page, such as removing divs, and tds, and things of that sort?)

(2) I really like the way Coppermine actually opens a new window with the original file when clicking the intermediate file. For my use, I don't need the intermediate file. So what I'd like to do is to be able to open the original file just like it does when clicking on the intermediate file, but do that when you click on the thumbnail. Is this possible without too much trouble?

Again, thanks for your help.

We have a "one question per thread" policy you agreed to respect when signing up ("Board rules"). Please do so in the future.

Re question 1) This is being covered in the docs and many, many postings on the sub-board "cpg1.4 themes/skins/templates". There can be no general answer, as it depends on what you want to see changed. Basically, you create a custom theme and edit it as you see fit.

Re question 2) There are several mods that skip the intermediate image view and send the user directly from the thumbnail to the full-size pop-up ("LightBox JS for Fullsize Popup Image", "from thumbnail to full-size pop-up (skip intermediate page)" e.a.). Please search the board in the future.

Locking and marking accordingly.
