Need help modifying 2 column category layout.

Gallery: www.waggonerphotography.com/gallery2
Currently running 1.5.26, utilizing the mod located here for 2 column category layout:   http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php/topic,70393.msg344642.html#msg344642

I really like this layout as it makes my gallery main page not as long!  However it can be confusing to look at and know where sub categories fall.  The way I have my parent/child categories setup, I know how to make it look better,  but do not know how to implement.

So my question is... is it possible to have any category that does not contain an album be in its own row within the 2 column category listing that is currently running.  Looking at my main gallery listing, I am looking for this:

I think I figured it out!  At least I hope so, initial testing looks good though.  Full code is as follows:

Code Select Expand


/******************************************************************************

// HTML template for the category list
$template_cat_list = <<<EOT

The area of change was from the section that was in Section <<<theme_display_cat_list>>> within the foreach loop:

Code Select Expand

$params = array(
                    '{CAT_TITLE}' => $category[0],
                    '{CAT_THUMB}' => $category['cat_thumb'],
                    '{CAT_DESC}' => $category[1],
            );
            echo template_eval($template_noalb, $params);

I added the following code around the echo:

Code Select Expand


            echo "</tr> <tr>";
            echo template_eval($template_noalb, $params);   /**Original Code**/
            echo "</tr> <tr>";
            $count=0;
