Hi
I would like to modify the width of coppermine ?
I want the whole coppermine to be e.g. 1000 px.

Tried myself some variables, but did not change anything

Please post a link to your gallery as requested by board rules.

In this case a link is essential so we can see your theme and advise accordingly.

Seems like the original poster solved it themselves or has lost interest. Anyone object if I bring it back to life with exactly the same question?

I have been with Coppermine since v1.2.xx I think and my existing gallery is fine and stable in v1.4.xx although perhaps not the last 'mandatory' version. http://www.denisg.co.uk/gallery/

In order to try v1.5.xx I have put it into a new folder on my site to see if I like it and if I can work with it. Like?......very much. Work with?.......new language of html, php and particularly the css are leaving me way behind. First impression is I am way too old for this now but I refuse to give up. In 1.4, I found it reasonably acceptable to get it nearly how I wanted it to be. I am not after a match for my existing site as now I have found Curve I might work backwards this time and attempt to make my website like the Coppermine gallery if I can make that look the way I want it to. I am having a number of problems with layout but the most important starting point for me is to be able to get the whole Curve thing at 1000px wide. I changed many things and even tried the old simple single line of code in template.html as I did in 1.4, all to no avail and some startling unwanted results. My test gallery is at http://www.denisg.co.uk/scc/gallery/. The cmpg section is the correct width but I can't seem to bring the rest in . Can anyone help?

Upload this theme to your website for a 1000px width.
All I did was add another div starting right after the opening body and closed it right before the closing body tags, with some inline styling to make it 1000px and centered.

<!--Coppermine Photo Gallery 1.4.18 (stable)-->
your other gallery is indeed very old. Please update it as you are vulnerable to attacks.

Dennis,

You could quite easilly create a theme to fit your site well leaving the current menu on the left with the gallery on the right. I might get some time tomorrow to have a quick crack but please create a new thread. Hijacking other threads is not considered good form old chap.

Thanks Phill, apologies for hijacking, but I thought as it was a continuation of the original question it wouldn't apply. I'll try a new thread tomorrow.

Thanks for that Jeff, most appreciated. Worked a treat with just the lines you mention. Same line I used in 1.4 only there it was table width!.......duhh......never occurred to me to use div.

Not a hope!, at least until I get some time off work. Help on 1.4 is to stop shortly anyway, not that I am entitled to any using that OLD (like me) version. If I can get 1.5 close enough in appearance and layout then I will take that route. However, with a couple of thousand photos there you can forgive my hesitance in doing so. No upgrade has ever worked smoothly for me, once I lost >800 photos and the gallery had to be rebuilt from scratch. Now there is 2k at risk. Once I am happy with 1.5 I will upgade, promise! , I just need to know what to change when I do.

Thanks for the help, for those using Curve at least, solved.

Denis.

If you start a new thread like Phill suggested with your 1.4.x theme compressed and attached I can start looking at it.
