How to: Change / Remove text in gallery- Intro on text edito

This is for beginners.
I've seen alot of questions about how to change different text in the gallery on here and in the mailing archives, so this should cover it all.

The easiest way i can reccomend to you is to download an editor (you should have one already if your trying to alter gallery)and run searches in the whole gallery directory for results of the same words you want to remove using the editor, then go to the file and see if its the right thing you want removed. Example; i use "crimson editor" which is available free from tucows.com. After you start it up, hit "Search" then "Find in files". Make sure it will be searching the entire gallery directory (if not browse to the main gallery directory), then you would enter "last changed" in the 'find what' box if you wanted to find those words. It will find any occurances of it like this:

---------- Find in Files ----------
Searching for 'last changed'...
E:galleryalbums.php(292,4): Last changed on <?=$gallery->album>getLastModificationDate()?>.
1 occurence(s) have been found.

As you can see that is the exact thing you want and you can double click on it, or just go to albums.php and go to line 292. Once there delete just the "last changed on" text and it wont be displayed anymore (or you could rewrite it to suit your needs.)
Remember- never use MS frontpage to alter php files, it can/will automagically screw them up royally. Use a text editor, such as crimson or your windows notepad etc. Of course if you save and upload the file and you see gallery is messed up because you deleted something you shouldn't have, just go back to the still open editor and click Undo and then re-up the file. Experimentation will be the key if you are a begginer but as you can see its fairly easy.

Editors are also good if you get more advanced and decide you want to delete or alter the name of a file- you can do searches the same way, but search for a file name like slideshow.php and it would show all the other files that call on the slideshow.php file, so you can make them stop.
hope this helps some of you

on mine ive also editied albums.php to include a background image that I use ...

Hi, I noticed it looks different when it's used in Post Nuke, can you tell me which files to edit if I use mine with Postnuke and I dont want the url link to be shown beside the album? It's kinda long and messy. What folders are used when it is shown in Postnuke and what is used when it is used stand alone?

Hi

The Brad's Gallery gif was most likely added to the header for the album. You'll find that in the html_wrap folder. Because of all the bits that come together to make a page it isn't always obvious what was edited to add something, but it's a safe bet that many of the customizations for standalone Galleries were added into the header/footer files in the html_wrap folder.

Regards,

Gaile

dang..treied to post and got this:

Warning: Unknown modifier '' in /usr/www/website/gallery.menalto.com/modules/phpBB_14/functions.php on line 1220

Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at /usr/www/website/gallery.menalto.com/modules/phpBB_14/functions.php:1220) in /usr/www/website/gallery.menalto.com/modules/phpBB_14/editpost.php on line 145

I'm not sure if anyone answered this for the person, but I just went to do this for my album and found it in the view_album.php

<!-- BBCode Start --><TABLE BORDER=0 ALIGN=CENTER WIDTH=85%><TR><TD><font class="pn-sub">Code:</font><HR></TD></TR><TR><TD><FONT class="pn-sub"><PRE>
$buf = $buf."<b>Album: ".$myAlbum->fields[title]."</b>";
</TD></TR></TABLE><!-- BBCode End -->

my line numbers are different so just search for Album: like I did. People weren't really reading the "Album" so they thought I just had one picture in places when it was a friggin folder (yeah, reading is fundamental, but not for everyone). I replaced Album with a folder icon I made hoping it will be more apparent.

Hi!!

i wanna remove "Powered By Gallery V1" from my Gallery can any one help me and tell me name of that html file where i can change????

i went into view_album.php and looked for that area but what i am finding is:

if ($gallery->album->isAlbum($index)) {
$albumName = $gallery->album->getAlbumName($index);
print "<td><a href=\n".
makeAlbumUrl($albumName). ">\n";
$myAlbum = new Album();
$myAlbum->load($albumName);
print sprintf(_("Album: %s"), $myAlbum->fields['title']);
print "</a></td></tr>\n";
} else {
print "<td><a href=\n".
makeAlbumUrl($gallery->session->albumName, $id);
print ">\n";
$desc = $gallery->album->getCaption($index);
if (trim($desc) == "") {
$desc=$gallery->album->getPhotoId($index);
}
print $desc;
print "</a></td></tr>\n";
}
}
print "</table>\n";

i'm assuming that i need to change: <b>print sprintf(_("Album: %s"), $myAlbum->fields['title']);</b> and i took out Album: in there but it did nothing

any help on this would be great thanks

I am pretty much in the same boat. I know it has something to do with the "pluralize" command in the code, but I have no clue how to remove it or singularize it without getting errors.

This thread is for G1 so will not work with G2 as G2 is differnet.

Did you read any documantation of the template files:
http://codex.gallery2.org/index.php/Gallery2:How_to_visually_embed_Gallery_in_your_own_website_by_editing_theme_templates

http://gallery.menalto.com/node/28597

do those and then post back in the G2 cusomization forum with one Q at a time as not to get other confused.

DeeAnn,
Have you considered using punctuation when typing?
This thread is for G1 and is from 2002.
http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery2:Quick_Start_Guide#Configure_the_Root_Album Should help in editing things that you can change with the user interface. Your gallery is now called "My Gallery" and the directions will not reflect that, it mentions gallery as the default name of the root album.
So edit album (after you log in) and select the 'general' tab. Their you will be able to change the description of you album.

If you get stuck please start a new thread in the G2 forums.
