[18:49] <psir> i was thinking of using coppermine but it's kind of scary
[18:49] <psir> php and mysql that is
[18:49] <CJB2K686> first one
[18:49] <CJB2K686> why? you dont know how to use php/mysql ?
[18:49] <CJB2K686> lol
[18:49] <psir> not yet hehe
[18:50] <CJB2K686> not that hard man
[18:50] <CJB2K686> you got a premade script
[18:50] <CJB2K686> or you need to code from scratch
[18:50] <psir> well i can use fantastico to install coppermine
[18:50] <psir> then i customized it a little
[18:50] <psir> to output the right sizes
[18:50] <psir> of images
[18:51] <psir> and not do like 2nd thumanils
[18:51] <psir> so the out put is kinda right
[18:51] <psir> except it says the number of files
[18:51] <psir> which i don't want
[18:51] <CJB2K686> im sure you can edit the code
[18:51] <psir> then i need to liek take out the extra garbage surround the album
[18:51] <CJB2K686> is coppermine open source?
[18:51] <psir> yeah
[18:51] <CJB2K686> of course you can edit it then
[18:52] <psir> well like i just don't see like a layout or anything to really edit in WYSIWYG
[18:52] <psir> except some stuff in the theme files
[18:52] <psir> but that's not it i don't hink
[18:52] <CJB2K686> you wont man
[18:53] <CJB2K686> what wysiwyg are u using
[18:53] <psir> dreamweaver
[18:53] <CJB2K686> most wont support php, you need to look at the actual code
[18:53] <psir> so i'll need to go through the php and css
[18:53] <psir> filee
[18:53] <psir> s
[18:53] <CJB2K686> well, css if you want to edit the look/layout (if its done in css)
[18:53] <CJB2K686> otherwise, your text will be in the main php file
[18:54] <CJB2K686> it depends, id have to take a look at the way things are setup
[18:54] <psir> http://www.barringtoncomputerservices.com/gallery/index.php
[18:54] <CJB2K686> yea, if you wanna customize that, you should probably fimiliarize yourself
[18:54] <CJB2K686> im bnot gonna be able to look at any of the source man
[18:54] <CJB2K686> its all parsed
[18:55] <vvq> anyone got adult sites they wanna sell? hit me up.
[18:56] <psir> so like i should probally make another php file that outputs the content i wan
[18:56] <psir> leave the original there so i can login and stuff
[18:56] <psir> and have navigation
[18:56] <psir> and edit the css for the look/layout
[18:56] <CJB2K686> no
[18:56] <CJB2K686> psir : how much about design do you know ?
[18:56] <psir> well like i want to leave coppermine pretty much intact
[18:57] <psir> i guess a fair amount
[18:57] <CJB2K686> do you know css ?
[18:57] <psir> i've used it briefly just to fix text fonts and size adn location and stuff
[18:58] <CJB2K686> I suggest you take some quick tutorials before going any farther my friend
[18:58] <CJB2K686> I hope you didnt get in over your head with a client
[18:58] <CJB2K686> just make backups of coppermine, or if it is on fantastico, then who gives
[18:59] <psir> yeah i know that
[18:59] <psir> well i told him i could show him how to update his site
[18:59] <psir> he's fairly smart
[18:59] <psir> he knows autocad, his father knows word and excel like crazy
[18:59] <CJB2K686> yea, but im sure hes not gonna want a big "COPPERMINE" logo on his image g
[19:00] <psir> so it's just minor dreamweaver work
[19:00] <psir> yeah i'd take everything off
[19:00] <psir> of coarse
[19:00] <psir> but the albumlist would still be there
[19:00] <CJB2K686> of course
[19:00] <psir> then a thumbnail page and stuff
[19:00] <CJB2K686> but in order to do that, your prolly not gonna get far in a wysiwyg, you s
[19:01] <psir> i used to do everything in solid html
[19:01] <psir> i had a rom site back in the day
[19:01] <CJB2K686> yea, times have changed
[19:01] <CJB2K686> its called dynamic content
[19:02] <psir> yeah that's like what i'm on right now
[19:02] <psir> i tried setting up a php server on my site and it wouldn't work right
[19:02] <psir> to see if i could script some basic stuff
[19:03] <CJB2K686> you have your own dedicated box ?
[19:04] <psir> i have a server for my site that's cpanel
[19:04] <psir> with 2 mysql databases
[19:05] <CJB2K686> most likely php is already on your box if you are on a shared server
[19:17] <psir> yeah it is, but like i couldnt' figure out how to setup mysql
[19:17] <CJB2K686> what do you mean ?
[19:18] <CJB2K686> do you have a phpMyAdmin ?
[19:18] <CJB2K686> in your cpanel
