Here is a picture I took 5 minutes ago during the 2007 California fires.

Wordpress(2.3) integration w/ Coppermine(1.44)

It was not as easy as the other plug-ins but I did it, I can now browse my Coppermine database easily within Wordpress. I even installed a random image widget!

This is what to do:

Find “Coppermine Integration for Wordpress 2.3“– this is the modified version for WP 2.3…

Follow the instructions included with the .zip, THIS IS NOT A SIMPLE COPY-PASTE INTO PLUGINS FOLDER install!

The instructions are decent but lack one key part; Where to find the information to configure the plug-in. You’ll find it in the include/config.inc.php file of your Coppermine install.

Example:

EXAMPLES DISABLED, K2 DOES NOT WORK WITH COPPERMINE PLUGIN!

Modify Default theme header image

These are the files you must edit and the edits themselves if you want to resize your header to 150px and use an image instead of the text/gradient.

***note*** The white ‘page’ and curved borders are not css, they are a image. Open kubrickheader.jpg and you’ll see. I selected the blue, cleared it, then adjusted the selection to raise the bottom selection up about 2 px for a cleaner look for the border.

This is my new *150px* image:

changes I’ve made:

STYLE.CSS
#header {
background-color: #73a0c5;
margin: 0 0 0 1px;
padding: 0;
height: 150px;
width: 758px;
/* height: 200px;*/
}

#headerimg {
margin: 0;
height: 150px;
width: 100%;
}

HEADER.PHP

<?php wp_head(); ?>
</head>
<body>
<div id=”page”>

<div id=”header”>
<div id=”headerimg”>

</div>
</div>
<hr />

***I recommend Programmer’s Notepad for editing, free, fast, featureful, easy to use.   Yes, featureful is a word, just check the Bectionary
