Is it possible to bring the email address pane UP a level  when sending ecards?

Right now, the visitor has to

1 Open the album
2 Click the Picture
3 Click the Envelope
and Populate email info and
4Send

Is it possible to remove the envelope step (it can be left there if need be) and bring the email pane up to Step 2 (when the picture is viewed?)

Is this something i can change on my own or is it considered a feature request?

My concern is that the ability to send a picture as an ecard is not intuitive to the first time users.

My ecard Gallery in process can be viewed at

sending ecards is considered an additional feature in coppermine, with the main bias being on being able to browse pics in several ways (clicking on the thumbnails or going through a gallery with the previous/next buttons). Making coppermine an ecard application only has never been the intention of coppermine, and imo there are better apps that will let you an ecard-only page. I'm sure there's a way to modify the code to skip the step of viewing the pic before clicking on the ecard button, but since there are various places where links to displayimage.php are set, you will have to modify an awfull lot of code.

Thanks.  Understood.

I will stick with it for now. I just went through several days of learning and configuring.

If its popular on my site, I will look for a strict e-card application that gives me more flexibility. Right now, CPG is good enough for me.

Cheers.
