Greets,
Twan

Hi,
You did not mention in your first post that you use subcategories.
So you should set:
backend --> Components --> Phoca Gallery --> Phoca Gallery Control Panel --> Options --> Display --> Categories View Settings -->
Displaying Style=Categories & Images
Display Subcategories=No
Display Empty Categories=No
backend --> Components --> Phoca Gallery --> Phoca Gallery Control Panel --> Options --> Display --> Category View Settings -->
Display Image Instead Of Folder Icon=Yes
Save & Close
Then you should copy an image in each emty root category, create thumbnails and set this thumbnails to "Unauthorized".
This means, this images are not visable inside this categories (e.g. in Detail View) but only as category icons.
This is exactly describt in the link I posted you.
At last it will look like this:
http://www.reisefotografien.eu/reisefotografien

Hope this helps.
Kind regards,
Benno

Thanks,

Now i have another question:
I want the description out of the image box (the image box has now a sort of frame) but i want the text not in a frame. How can i do this?
Like this: http://cvdemouwers.nl/beeld-a-geluid/fo ... r-op-tocht

And now im getting a number after its name (7) because they are unauthorized, how can i remove that to?

Also on the homepage it doesnt pick Random pictures, only the last one.
