Hello!
I've a problem again. Here is my gallery: http://gallery.elvado.de . As you can see, in the columns 'Albums' and 'Files' are only shown the files in this category. Thats why they seem to be empty. I want him to show also the files (and albums) from categories IN the category. I hope you can understand what I mean  ;)
Is there maybe a hack for it or can you tell me what to change?

Greetz & Thanks form Germany,
Netrus

Imo you over-organized your gallery to have to many nested sub-categories, I'd go for one level less - it doesn't make sense to have sub-categories with only one album in them.
It's a known issue with the current coppermine code though that the stats for the main page only take into account the albums that directly exist with a particular category, sub-categories are not being taken into account stats-wise to reduce the amount of queries needed to build the main page. Afaik there's no hack available, but if you heed my suggestion (re-organizing your whole gallery structure to have one cat level less) all your problems will disappear and your page will be more surfer-friendly, as users have to perform one unnecessary click less.
