 FAP CUSTOMIZATION - [almost Sorted..] Listing Photo Gallery In Main Forum Index
Hi again ,
I apologise if my question has previously been answered on the forum.
here's my problem:
I want the photo albums to list in the Forum Index page, merged in with the forum listings, so that the Photo Album appear as a Forum on the listing and the Album Categories appear as Forum Categories & the sub-categories appear as Topics.
The reasoning for this is that most of the visitors & members on my forum will be disabled people & I want them to find everything in one listing. Moreover, the existing members themselves are finding it a little difficult to apprecialte that the Album Index and Forum Index are different things - so in effect I want to merge them visibly to enhance usability.
I do not have any undertanding of php (but can follow instructions in mods fairly easily unless they involve changes to sql entries). I have managed to include the Album categories in the forum categories through the ACP Forum Management option by entering album categories as links - so once clicked they lead straight to the album category page. (Have a look at my forum index page at http://accessability.co.in/community/ - the forum categories 'Disability General' and ''Disability Access' in the Forum 'Photo Gallery' are actually Album Categories)
1. But the problem in having done things this way is that the columns 'Topics' & 'Posts' show '0' entries against the Album categories listed on the Forum Index listing. Now this is a problem, as because people dont think there's anything in these categories, & therefore dont visit or post in these categories 
2. For people who have been posting comments in the Pics in Public Galleries, these postings do not add to the total post counts in their profiles.
I will be extremely grateful to your inputs to assist me in sorting out these two problems that have made me pull most of my remaining hair 
My forum : http://accessability.co.in/community/ & Im on phpbb 2.22, FAP 1.2.1 & Linux hosting.
Many Thanks in advance,
Vic

Almost There....
Hello all,
I have managed to list the album contents in the forum index by making additions to index.php & index_body.tpl - mostly by pasting bits from album.php & album_box.tpl - but with my limited skills, I am only able to list the album categories either at the start or the end of the forum listings.
I will appreciate if you can guide me how to place the album categories in between the forum categories - ideally I will like to list the 'Public Photo Gallery' after the first two forum categories.
Pease have a look at http://accessability.co.in/community to better understand the problem as I am not sure if I managed to explain it well.
Thanks in advance.
Vic
PS - If anyone else wants to list the album categories in a similar way to what I have done, please email me & I shall be pleased to share my index.php & index.tpl files with you.

Which counter are you referring to?
The counter on your forum index?
