Hi,

I have done a search on the forum and found some useful information about customizing.
I want to change the 'New' text under the images to a small graphic. I have managed to get rid of the box around the 'New' text, and have managed to add in the 'New' graphic so that this gets displayed.
Problem is the word 'New' is still displayed as well as the graphic, and when I remove the word the graphic goes too.
Current solution is to make the word 'New' the same colour as the background, but this has only sort of worked, as the attached JPG should show. Does anyone have any ideas as to how to display the graphic but not the text.

Any help much appreciated, thanks.

Regards,

Rich

Edit modules/newitems/module.inc

    /**
     * @see GalleryModule::getItemSummaries
     */
    function getItemSummaries($items, $permissions, &$template) {
	list ($ret, $param) = GalleryCoreApi::fetchAllPluginParameters('module', 'newitems');
	if ($ret) {
	    return array($ret, null);
	}
	$time = time();
	$newTime = $time - $param['days.new'] * 86400;
	$updatedTime = $time - $param['days.updated'] * 86400;

	$newString = $this->translate('New');
	$updatedString = $this->translate('Updated');

	$summaries = array();
	foreach ($items as $item) {
	    if ($param['days.new'] > 0 && $item->getCreationTimestamp() > $newTime) {
		$summaries[$item->getId()] = '<span class="giNew">'
		    . $newString . '</span>';
	    } else if ($param['days.updated'] > 0
			&& $item->getModificationTimestamp() > $updatedTime) {
		$summaries[$item->getId()] = '<span class="giUpdated">'
		    . $updatedString . '</span>';
	    }
	}
	return array(null, $summaries);
    }

Edit modules/newitems/module.inc

Search for "newString" and "updatedString" and change them from:

        $newString = $this->translate('New');
        $updatedString = $this->translate('Updated');

to

        $newString = $this->translate('');
        $updatedString = $this->translate('');

NOTE: If you ever reinstall Gallery or just this module alone you'll need to make these changes again.

Thanks for the replies. Unfortunately I had already tried this and it just removes the graphic as well as the text.

In themes/carbon/theme.css.....

.giNew {
  background-image: url('../carbon/images/new.gif');
  color: #3F3F3F;
}

.giUpdated {
  background-image: url('../carbon/images/updated.gif');
  color: #3F3F3F;
}

...instead of....

.giNew, .giUpdated {
  border-width: 1px;
  border-style: solid;
  padding: 0 6px;
  line-height: 1.9em;
}

That should work then if you removed the text as in this post:

Clear cache?

Hi Dave,

When you say remove the text, do you mean completely removing the text highlighted in bold? I tried this and it didn't work.
Tried the cache too, still the same.
Bit of a puzzler I guess!

        $newString = $this->translate('New');
        $updatedString = $this->translate('Updated');

to

        $newString = $this->translate('   ');
        $updatedString = $this->translate('   ');

Note: just remove the New and Updated

Then your css should work. If you see text then it is because of cache or you did not edit it right.
Post a URL to your site if you get stuck.

Hi Dave,

I did this earlier and yes the text will disappear, but it also removes the graphic too so nothing is displayed.

Interestingly if I only have ('Ne') then only 2/3rds of the New graphic is displayed, and ('N') about 1/3rd of the graphic.

Well since you are using a background image to a <span> tag that is empty then your background image will not show.
Change the text to be spaces or  
or add some width the the span or margin might work as well.
