need help adding date and title in Album.tpl

Restore from the backup you made before you started editing the file

If that doesn't work, there is a reason we ask for this:
FAQ: What information is required when I ask for help in the forums?

In addition to useful information for most problems, it also lists the theme you're using... Otherwise, get a copy of the original version of the theme before you made changes and look at where that code is in that file.

I'm sorry, I mis-placed my magic, remote, undo button.

You can't tell me what theme you're using?

You can't get the original version of the theme? (http://gallery.menalto.com)

What can't you do?

is this what you're missing?

  <div class="gbBlock">
      {g->block type="core.ItemInfo"
          item=$theme.item
          showDate=false
          showSize=true
          showOwner=false
          class="giInfo"}
    </div>

Change "showDate=false" to "showDate=true"

I don't know what you're trying to do here though:

{*Title = {$cover.title} : Id = {$cover.id}

If you want to display the title of an item:

                {if !empty($theme.item.title)}
                <h2> {$theme.item.title|markup} </h2>
                {/if}

I took that out of Matrix because I haven't had time to download and look at Carbon yet.

look for the childItems loop:
{foreach from=$theme.children item=child} ... {/foreach}
inside this loop, look for where the thumb is being placed:
{g->image item=$child image=$child.thumbnail class="giThumbnail"}
below that, is where the thumbs info is displayed:

		      {if !empty($child.title)}
			{if $child.canContainChildren}
			<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
			  <tr>
			    <td class="giTitleIcon">
			      <img src="{g->url href="themes/carbon/images/album.gif"}" alt=""/>
			    </td>
			    <td>
			      <p class="giTitle">{$child.title|markup}</p>
			    </td>
			  </tr>
			</table>
			{else}
			<p class="giTitle">{$child.title|markup}</p>
			{/if}
		      {/if}

and the rest of the infor would be below that:

		      {if !empty($child.summary)}
		      <p class="giDescription">
			{$child.summary|markup|entitytruncate:256}
		      </p>
		      {/if}

		      {if !$theme.params.itemDetails}
			{g->block type="core.ItemInfo"
				  item=$child
				  showSummaries=true
				  class="giInfo"}
		      {else}
			{if ($child.canContainChildren && $theme.params.showAlbumOwner) ||
			    (!$child.canContainChildren && $theme.params.showImageOwner)}
			{assign var="showOwner" value=true}
			{else}
			{assign var="showOwner" value=false}
			{/if}
			{g->block type="core.ItemInfo"
				  item=$child
				  showDate=true
				  showOwner=$showOwner
				  showSize=true
				  showViewCount=true
				  showSummaries=true
				  class="giInfo"}
		      {/if}

All of this info could have been obtained if you had looked at the original version of the template as advised above.
