chaptersnumberingsectioning
I do not know how to remove the Chapter numbers in front of each chapter (Chapter #), and in the same time keep the section numbers. So I need something like the following:
Chapter name
1.1 First section
1.2 Second section
Also, numbering of my photos is a little weird. Right now, I have Photo 2.1 (since the photo is in Section 2). I just want normal numbering such as Photo 1, Photo 2 etc.
Thank you for your help!
A shot in the dark
I asked Google about the comment \newboxedtheorem and found the following page:
Nice boxes for your theorems with LaTeX using tikz
There the unsupported package boiboites can be found. The code is very transparent and you can see that the command \newboxedtheorem doesn't support the manipulation of counters like \netheorem. You can set only one counter. The default usage is:
\newboxedtheorem{defi}{Definition}{thCounter}
So your code fails
\newboxedtheorem[]{example}{theorem}{mycounter}
because you have to many arguments.
To allow the possibility of \newtheorem you have to change the code of boiboites.sty.
As discussed in the chat the package has no license information and must be classified as non-free. So you can download the code and use but I don't know whether we can manipulate this code here.
You can redefine \thesection so that it issues the current number minus one.
\documentclass{book}
\makeatletter
\renewcommand{\thesection}{%
\thechapter.\@arabic{\numexpr\c@section-1}%
}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\chapter{First chapter}
\section{First section}
\section{Second section}
\section{Third section}
\chapter{Second chapter}
\section{First section}
\section{Second section}
\section{Third section}
\end{document}

Here is a way to do it with
titlesec(albeit there seems to be some problem with the latest version: I wouldn't have done it exactly this way with the previous version of titlesec):
