Problems with til.gif in igames

[FischerKing]

Hi
I am a new member of this board and new to Coppermine. I have some experiense in php, css and so forth. I am doing an overhaul to the igames theme for my father, as he needs a place to put his artphotos, he is running an exhibition of them and he want to promote them on the internet as well. I didnt put his photos yet, when he gets the photos he will do so. I want to remove the movie strip animation from the plays that displays the pictures, as they are disturbing. I have deactivated a part of the code in theme.php and that removed the animation. However, my problem is that in internet explorer there is still the broken picture link and that is pretty ugly! I have tried to deaktivate more code, this one in the include/themes.inc.php file, but then I get an error message! What do I do?
Any help will be appreciated strongly as this problem is driving me crazy!

*****edit***** You need to upgrade your version of coppermine from 1.4.21 to the current version, 1.4.24 as there are some security implications if you don't.

Fiddling with include/themes.inc.php is not a good idea. All the functions in that can be manipulated in theme.php. If the code you need to adjust is not in the custom theme then copy the relavent part from the sample theme.

This thread might help.

Here is the relavent code

Code Select Expand

// HTML template for filmstrip display
$template_film_strip = <<<EOT

       <tr>
        <td valign="top" style="background-image: url({TILE1});"><img src="{TILE1}" alt="" border="0" /></td>
       </tr>
       <tr>
       <td valign="bottom" class="thumbnails" align="center">
         <table width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3" border="0">
             <tr>
                <td width="50%"></td>
                {THUMB_STRIP}
                <td width="50%"></td>
             </tr>
         </table>
       </td>
       </tr>
       <tr>
        <td valign="top" style="background-image: url({TILE2});"><img src="{TILE2}" alt="" border="0" /></td>
       </tr>
<!-- BEGIN thumb_cell -->
               <td valign="top" align="center">
                                       <a href="{LINK_TGT}">{THUMB}</a>
                                       {CAPTION}
                                       {ADMIN_MENU}
               </td>
<!-- END thumb_cell -->
<!-- BEGIN empty_cell -->
               <td valign="top" align="center" >&nbsp;</td>
<!-- END empty_cell -->

EOT;

Thank you for your advice, however I am still stuck. I dug out the posts from your link, deleted the tile.gif file, and tried to follow the other advices he gave, but same result. I have browsed around the code quite alot during this last week, and it seems to me that most things in the ingame theme is controlled from the ingame theme folder. However, the picture controller seems to be controlled from the outside, somewhere in the main script, I think the purpetrator is the themes.inc.php but I cant be sure. Can you give me any further advice?

About the updating:
Thanks for notifying me about the update, I didnt realize it
The homepage on this server is just a testpage, and nobody will use it. When I am happy with the result, I will move it to another server, and make the updates. Any reason why that should be a bad idea?

Thanks for any help you might give me

The version you are running has a security problem. If you want your work destroyed and your server compromised then stick with it. But I am sure you would be happier securing your site. When you have, come back and I will try and help you with your problem.

The homepage on this server is just a testpage, and nobody will use it. When I am happy with the result, I will move it to another server, and make the updates.

Make sure to tell the hacker who can gain access to the entire domain and plant a backdoor or do all kinds of sinister and malevolent things on the entire server that it's only meant as a test site and that you therefor have been reluctant to upgrade. Additionally, read up http://coppermine-gallery.net/demo/cpg14x/docs/index.htm#theme_create_rename

[FischerKing]

Lol! I am working on it, didnt know it was that sinister!!

[FischerKing]

Ok, update done! Im sure you will panic when you see the register_globals enabled on that site, but I will fix it!!

Im sure you will panic when you see the register_globals enabled on that site

We can't see that - the warning will only display for the admin. I certainly won't panic anyway if others ask for trouble, even if I could see the warning. In fact I couldn't care less.

You haven't done as suggested though:

Additionally, read up http://coppermine-gallery.net/demo/cpg14x/docs/index.htm#theme_create_rename

You really should do as suggested there.

Back to your initial question:

I want to remove the movie strip animation from the plays that displays the pictures

You're trying to accomplish what? I can see no animation at all, nor can I see signs of broken links. Create a screenshot of your issue and highlight the place where you have issues. Then attach the screenshot to your posting.

Forgot to mention, I want to remove these movie strips completely

[Joachim Müller]

Coppermine's config -> Image view -> Show film strip -> set from "Yes" (default) to "No" 

[phill104]

I believe he wants the filmstrip feature but without the graphics along the edges.

Am I correct FischerKink?

[FischerKing]

No, I wanted to remove it that solved the problem very easily. I believe I couldnt do that before I upgraded my version, i was looking for it.
Thanks for the help

[Joachim Müller]

Coppermine's config -> Image view -> Show film strip -> set from "Yes" (default) to "No" 

has been a feature in all versions of cpg1.4.x

[phill104]

I must have missunderstood right from the start. I thought you just wanted rid of the til.gif graphic.

Glad you have it solved now.

[FischerKing]

No worries I appreciate your help anyway
