firstly, i'm going to add your david dorffman site to the tof affiliate on the new version of odr Very Happy

and also, I've just seen your gallery http://www.david-dorfman.com/gallery/index.php and i wanted to know if you coded it by yourself...? because i want to do something like that http://www.hayden-christensen.org/gallery/ on ODR and on my lou pucci site but i don't know how to code them :s

Okay, this is reasonably simple to do depending on which version of coppermine you use. I find it much harder to do using the new version even though that tries to make it simpler.

All you need to do is change the template.html in whatever them you're using, I think it's easier to do using PHP, but with HTML I guess you just put it in a frame. I'll let you know how to do it both ways though, but if the gallery's in PHP, the whole site would look better in PHP (which is simple enough to do, if you want help just let me know, it's basically just HTML, but you can add headers and footers with a simple PHP code at the top and bottom of each page).

Using HTML (I'm not 100% sure how to do this, cos I've never done it myself, this is how I think it would work)
So open template.html (best make a copy first so if it goes wrong you can change it back) and change the style sheet to go to your style sheet. Delete the stuff between <body> and the menu/gallery parts {} and the stuff after the menu/gallery parts up to </body>.

If you save that and open the gallery up in your frame I think it should work and will fit in with your site.

Using PHP

This is really simple, like the HTML version, open template.html (make a copy incase it goes wrong) change the style sheet to your style sheet, you can change the title aswell, I did on my David gallery, but it doesn't matter.
Replace all the stuff between <body> and the menu/gallery with your header stuff, replace the stuff after the menu/gallery with your footer stuff. Then save that and open your gallery, it should look the same as the rest of your site.

Any problems let me know, I might not have described it well.

well, my biggest problem is that i don't really know how to code stuff, i always use a web editor for my sites :s

but well i'm going to try for my lou pucci gallery first, because i want it to look more professional, but i need to ask a friend if she can make a layout for it for me becaus ei want to make a special one for the gallery, different than the one on the site Smile

Well, if you really have no clue what to do, if you sent me your template.html file I can edit it for you.

Awww... how horrible, not being able to work on your sites at Christmas! *shudders at the thought*

Actually on Christmas day I'll probably be playing CSI all day... the computer games (which I'm getting for Christmas) not some weird real life game "Look at me! I'm Grissom!" lol!

Hope it works! Very Happy
