Not sure of how to create a new theme

[AzorMachine]

Hello.
I was just going to start making the Theme for my gallery, using this topic as a reference : http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php?topic=38508.0

But I coudn't understand the method of creating themes. I have already done an HTML template, with CSS, but not sure of how to add the commands of coppermine, and it would be good, a list with all of them.
Any help of a theme artist?

Best Regards

Oh yes, I'm using 1.5.x

What exactly do you mean?

What exactly do you mean?

I have an HTML document, with my gallery layout. How can I create an CPG Theme, with it?
Got it now?

You should read at least the following sections of the documentation:
- http://documentation.coppermine-gallery.net/en/theme_create.htm#theme_create
- http://documentation.coppermine-gallery.net/en/theme_examples.htm#theme_examples
- http://documentation.coppermine-gallery.net/en/theme.htm#theme_engine

Okay, almost complete.
Now, where in "sample/theme.php", can I remove the albums list that is shown in the home page of the gallery (Inside the {GALLERY} Token)? I want that just the Last Images, and Random Images are showed.

I suggest to read the docs, as this is a simple setting: http://documentation.coppermine-gallery.net/en/configuration.htm#admin_album_list_content

Done. Now I a complex question.
I removed catlist and alblist from my content page, because my layout has a fixed height. (With those two 'tokens', my layout would break.)
But, now I can't navigate on the gallery, as those tag have been removed. Is there a simple way, to only show the 'topn' and the 'lastup' in my home page, but then, when I open a category link, like http://www.reinorpg.com/resources/index.php?cat=14, show it's content? (Automatically insert alblist and catlist.)

And, another question. How to create a vertical menu with all of the albums and categories?

I assume you want to hide 'topn' and 'lastup' when you display the album and category lists? If so, add this to your theme.php file:

Code Select Expand

if ($superCage->get->getInt('cat')) {
    $CONFIG['main_page_layout'] = str_replace('topn', '', $CONFIG['main_page_layout']);
    $CONFIG['main_page_layout'] = str_replace('lastup', '', $CONFIG['main_page_layout']);
} else {
    $CONFIG['main_page_layout'] = str_replace('alblist', '', $CONFIG['main_page_layout']);
    $CONFIG['main_page_layout'] = str_replace('catlist', '', $CONFIG['main_page_layout']);
}

Not working.
When I click in a category, like this : http://www.reinorpg.com/resources/index.php?cat=14
It says : "Error - The selected album/image doesn't exists"

Please attach your theme as zip file to your next reply.

Tsc, it's blocked. Here it goes.

Works as expected to me. What exactly doesn't work in your opinion? As your gallery is in offline mode I'm not able to have a look at your gallery.

Try now, it's online.

I don't get an error message, but I'm only able to view the thumbnail pages.

[AzorMachine]

No problem, fixed it now.
It was a problem in the admin config. I didn't put alblist and catlist in the content area. Now, with your snippet, that replaces those with a '' (blank), all is up to place.
Thank you.

Now, a quick one.
How to create a vertical menu, (to put in the left of my layout), that contains all of the albums and categories in one list?
