Showing first X thumbnails of sub-category in main-category list.

Hello.

I'm making a custom theme (css) based upon "clear" theme.
I have this structure of galleries

galleries
----2012
-------Happy New Year photos
-------Birthday
-------Holidays
----2013
-------Happy New Year
-------Birthday
-------Holidays
----2014
-------Happy New Year
-------Birthday
-------Holidays
----2015
-------Happy New Year
-------Birthday
-------Holidays

And so on.
When you open the home page of Piwigo I see the thumbnails of 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015
I modified the theme to show these years in one row per year instead of tiling.

The question:
It is possible to show the thumbnails of subcategories of every year in the main page in the below format? If yes which files I have to edit?

Current format:
[thumbnail of 2012]
[thumbnail of 2013]
[thumbnail of 2014]
[thumbnail of 2015]

What I would want:
[thumbnail of 2012][thumbnail of Happy New Year][thumbnail of Birthday][thumbnail of Holidays]
[thumbnail of 2013][thumbnail of Happy New Year][thumbnail of Birthday][thumbnail of Holidays]
[thumbnail of 2014][thumbnail of Happy New Year][thumbnail of Birthday][thumbnail of Holidays]
[thumbnail of 2015][thumbnail of Happy New Year][thumbnail of Birthday][thumbnail of Holidays]

Many thanks.

Re: Showing first X thumbnails of sub-category in main-category list.

This isn't easily doable by just editing a template. You need to get the required data in there first. Either by extending mainpage_categories.tpl and the data passed to it using PHP, or by creating a custom front page using Additional Pages plugin and some javascript code that interacts with the webservice API, something like ws.php?method=pwg.categories.getList&cat_id=0&recursive=true&tree_output=true&format=json gives a nice tree view that can be parsed easily.

If you can accept a "manually" created list, you can use "Additional Pages" in combination with "Extended Desciption" plugin's category thumbnail feature plus some CSS.

Re: Showing first X thumbnails of sub-category in main-category list.

PS: here's a demo of using the webservice API using javascript/jQuery inside an Additional Pages page: https://pwgdemo.kuther.net/index/page/5 (the demo gallery just doesn't have enough sub-categories to show off here, only the landscape album)

Code used:

Code:

<style type="text/css">
.jumbotron { display: none; }
#categories { display: none; }
.thumbnail {
  float: left;
  margin-right: 10px;
}
</style>

<h2>Category overview</h2>
<p>This example shows a list of all categories and their sub-categories, using the webservice API. View the page's source code to see how it's done.</p>

<div id="categories" class="container">
</div>

<script type="text/javascript">
var pwg_api = "/ws.php?format=json";
$.getJSON(pwg_api + '&method=pwg.categories.getList&recursive=true&tree_output=true&thumbnail_size=square', function (json) {
    categories = json.result;
    $.each( categories, function ( i, cat ) {
       $('#categories').append('<div class="row"><div class="thumbnail" id="cat-' + cat.id + '"><img src="' + cat.tn_url + '"><div class="thumbnail-caption"><a href="' + cat.url + '">' + cat.name + '</a></div></div></div>');
       if (cat.sub_categories) {
         sub_cats = cat.sub_categories;
         $.each( sub_cats, function ( y, sub_cat ) {
           $('#cat-' + cat.id).closest('.row').append('<div class="thumbnail" id="cat-' + sub_cat.id + '"><img src="' + sub_cat.tn_url + '"><div class="thumbnail-caption"><a href="' + sub_cat.url + '">' + sub_cat.name + '</a></div></div>');
         });
       }
    });
    $('#categories').fadeIn(1000);
});
</script>

The HTML code is a bit bootstrap specific.
