Eliminate Dates

[mjz55]

I tried the search and read the FAQ's so hopefully I didn't miss this question from before.

I want to eliminate the dates under the pictures.  IE: 2 files, last one added on Jan 15, 2006.  There are also dates under latest additions section.

I didn't see the toggle in admin area.

Thanks

Those are two different issues.

Album date removal

If you want to remove the entire stats line for an album, which includes the number of files, the last added date, and the number of linked files, you can merely remove the {ALB_INFOS} tag (and the entire line) from the two variables $template_album_list and $template_album_list_cat.  If you don't have these variables in themes/yourtheme/theme.php, then copy them from the sample theme.

If you want to remove the date only and keep the number of files, add the first line below (with its surrounding comments) in front of the next lines in the functions theme_display_album_list and theme_display_album_list_cat (with the same caveats about whether you already have those functions or not in your theme.php):

Code Select Expand

            // MOD - remove date from album info
            list($album['album_info'],$trash) = split(', ',$album['album_info'],2);
            // MOD - end
            $params = array('{COL_WIDTH}' => $column_width,
                '{ALBUM_TITLE}' => $album['album_title'],
                '{THUMB_CELL_WIDTH}' => $thumb_cell_width,
                '{ALB_LINK_TGT}' => "thumbnails.php?album={$album['aid']}",
                '{ALB_LINK_PIC}' => $album['thumb_pic'],
                '{ADMIN_MENU}' => $album['album_adm_menu'],
                '{ALB_DESC}' => $album['album_desc'],
                '{ALB_INFOS}' => $album['album_info'],
                );


Note that this will remove the "linked files" info as well.  If you want to keep the "linked files" info, you need to replace the one mod line with these two lines:

Code Select Expand

list($mod_albfiles,$trash,$trash,$mod_alblinkedfiles,$mod_albtotalfiles) = split(', ',$album['album_info'],5);
$album['album_info'] = $mod_albfiles . ($mod_alblinkedfiles ? ', '.$mod_alblinkedfiles.', '.$mod_albtotalfiles : '');

Note that this assumes you have a comma before the year in your date display.  If you don't, you need to change '5' to '4' in the first line and remove the second $trash from the same line.

Here's another way too - we did this and it worked:

Sorry, but what exactly do I have to copy over? I searched for the words used and they are all over the sample theme.php, so I'm not really sure from where I should start copying.

here is the $template_album_list

Neat, that worked 

[adam625]

I have trying to eliminate the dates only (NOT the # of files) as you said, but I do not know anything about PHP and can't seem to figure it out. I am using the digital_red theme. Any help would be great! Thanks

[adam625]

I think the reason I'm having trouble is {ALB_INFOS} is not anywhere within the theme.php. So what exactly do I need to add and/or remove? Any help would be great. Here is the exact coding I currently have in my theme.php file...

Read post of Paver , you can find this :
If you don't have these variables in themes/yourtheme/theme.php, then copy them from the sample theme

and check my old post you can find those two variable , just copy them to your theme.php

[adam625]

I tried inserting the code you had in your old post above, but it didn't work. I even tried inserting the following 3 lines in the sample theme file directly above the below code and uploading that and it still didn't work. 

// MOD - remove date from album info
list($album['album_info'],$trash) = split(', ',$album['album_info'],2);
// MOD - end

$params = array('{COL_WIDTH}' => $column_width,
'{ALBUM_TITLE}' => $album['album_title'],
'{THUMB_CELL_WIDTH}' => $thumb_cell_width,
'{ALB_LINK_TGT}' => "thumbnails.php?album={$album['aid']}",
'{ALB_LINK_PIC}' => $album['thumb_pic'],
'{ADMIN_MENU}' => $album['album_adm_menu'],
'{ALB_DESC}' => $album['album_desc'],
'{ALB_INFOS}' => $album['album_info'],
);

I'm not sure what I am doing wrong

[adam625]

Hooray... I finally managed to figure it out! Thanks for your help!

[adam625]

Well, just when I think I got it, I'm back to the beginning! I was using the sample theme.php and got it to work that way, but it was messing up other things. I once again tried inserting the variables above into the theme.php that I am currently uses (which is the code I gave above), but its not even close to working. Any more help you can provide would be great!

[Sami]

Sorry I didn't read your first post completely!
if you want to remove data you should try Advanced caption plugin

[adam625]

Ok, Were both confused now... LOL! Attached in .zip format is the theme.php file I'm currently using. All I am wanting is instead of "12 files, last one added on Aug 10, 2006" being displayed on each album I want simply "12 files" My gallery can be found here http://gallery.adamsphotogallery.com/. I have tried everything you suggested, but I seem to be still going wrong somewhere. Could you update my theme.php to do this? Any help would be great! Thanks

[Stramm]

lang/english.php (or the lang file you're actually using)

find

Code Select Expand

  'last_added' => ', last one added on %s',
and replace with

Code Select Expand

  'last_added' => '',

next time please start your own thread

[adam625]

YES!!!!! That worked! Thanks a million!

Next time I will be sure to start a new thread!

Thanks again!!!

[mjz55]

Is there anybody that could do this for me?  How much?  Thanks.  My email is mjz55@yahoo.com

[Sami]

Please post your offer on Looking for Freelancers / Paid help
And also read the sticky on that board firsrt

Sorry, didn't mean to break the rules

It's okey
