Album list view without thumbnails

[Juanito]

is it possible to have an album list without any thumbnails? i would simply like a listing of the albums (in alphabetical order if possible), without thumbnails and any additional info like the number of files or the date added. any help is appreciated! and thanks for making such a great product!

Yes it is possible. http://coppermine.sourceforge.net/manual.php#config_album_list Show first level album thumbnails in categories

[Juanito]

but isnt this for category view? rather than album view? i switched off "Show first level album thumbnails in categories" and it stops displaying thumbnails when viewing categories, but there are still thumbnails once i enter a category to see the list of albums inside that category. is is possible to remove these thumbnails?

i have a CPG gallery with over 15,000 pictures and over 200 albums. i wanted to remove the thumbnails because they make the page look cluttered and its difficult for viewers to find specific albums. it would be easier to browse with an album listing instead of a table with thumnails.

I have been wondering the same thing... I searched all over... there is something stated for the category page... but what about the album page itself?

@terramay: you should not PM supporters to reply to threads. So there is my reply to the thread as you asked.

Try turning "show first level album thumbnails in category" off, and increase the "number of levels of categories to display".

Which will keep you on the index.php (category) navigation page longer.  Once you move to an album and are on thumbnails.php, thats what you're going to get... thumbnails.

Not really what I was looking for... This is what I was thinking... once you click on a category and you are shown the albums within that category... how do you get so it only has a title... no thumbnail for the last uploaded on that album... just a title... or is that allowed?

Override the a templates in your theme.php, and you can use html remarks to cut out what you don't want. (or remove entirely)

Look for my note of "<!--  remarks to remove album list images" below.
