Hello,
I am in the process of redesigning my website. I have managed to apply my template to the forum. I found it pretty simple, but this gallery looks far too compllicated for me.

This is the forum's look
http://www.geckoworld.co.uk/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl

Just wondering how I would go about it. Is there a way I can just copy some code for the gallery to go into the "content" area of my template?

I'm going out on a limb here, since I'm not an expert at coppermine, but from the docs it seems you can just create a 'template.html' page and put it in your root coppermine folder. It should use this as the template for the gallery and not one of the themes then.

The easiest way to do this is to find the theme you like best, and rename and copy the folder containing the four files. Then make your basic static template changes in template.html, dynamic changes in theme.php, and css changes in the css file.  Put your images in the image directory.  Place this folder in with the rest of the theme folders, and it will be available in the Config panel.

Helping you half-way through:
  • create a copy of the "default"-folder within themes and insert it with the foldername "mytheme".
Edit template.html within "mytheme" with a text editor, remove everything that's in there and replace it with this:
Code Select

    <script language="JavaScript1.2" type="text/javascript">
    <!--
    function chatwin() {
    window.open("http://www.geckoworld.co.uk/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?action=chatirc", 'list', 'width=640,height=540, scrollbars=no');
    }
    //-->

  • save everything and upload it
  • take a preview like this in your browser: http://www.geckoworld.co.uk/gallery/?theme=mytheme
  • what's left to do: edit /themes/mytheme/style.css and adjust the colors to match the rest of your site
  • once you're happy with the looks, go to your coppermine config and make "mytheme" the standard theme[/list:u]Hope that helps.
