The day before yesterday i only slept 2 hours because of integrating Coppermine gallery into my wordpress blog. At first i thought it would be as easy as integrating Gallery 1.5 into wp by ripping out the header and footer stuff but im wrong...integrating Coppermine gallery is not as easy as it may seem to be because i read from alot of tutorials and forums, all of them say Coppermine is not built to be integrated into another script because it will cause alot of conflict. All of them suggest to mimic the design of the blog and make it a standalone gallery. So while looking for the best solution, i stumbled into this forum where it introduce a coppermine kubrick theme!

I downloaded the zip file and activate the theme...to my surprise it looks exactly like kubrick blog but the bad news is that im not using kubrick theme, im using golden grey theme. Luckily they look similar, so i decided to do some surgery on kubrick theme and make it look something like my theme. Im quite a newbie in CSS thats why it took me a while to get things in place and now at least it looks almost like my blog theme! Phew thats alot of hard work. What i did is change the header of kubrick by replacing

with

I have to change the header img from background to image because if you make it as background img it will appear to be out of place. Next is to put in the blue center navigation bar which look similar to my blog theme with this code.

Viola! you have a golden grey theme coppermine!! to make the layout look nice like mine in coppermine, first you need to login as admin and go to config. Change the Number of items in film strip to 4, Change the The content of the main page to breadcrumb/catlist/alblist/lastup,1/random,1 Change the Show first level album thumbnails in categories to No and you are ready to use your brand new gallery!
