on my photo pages and under the thumbnails of items in album pages is the ORIGINATION date (on the pictures that have exif). this has probably has to do with the fact that the Exif module is activated.

I want to display the CREATION date (the upload date).

i have find something similar on this thread:
http://gallery.menalto.com/node/64354

i have opened my themes/matrix/templates/photo.tpl

the only thing related to date is:

Quote:
{g->block type="core.ItemInfo"
item=$theme.item
showDate=true
showOwner=$theme.params.showImageOwner
class="giInfo"}
{g->block type="core.PhotoSizes" class="giInfo"}

so I don't understand what valiant meant to say.

any idea how to do that ?

In photo.tpl add:

{if !empty($theme.item.creationTimestamp)}
  <h2>{g->date timestamp=$theme.item.creationTimestamp style="datetime"}</h2>
{/if}

where you want it to appear.

thanks , it's working. i also found a different solution.

modules/core/templates/blocks/ItemInfo.tpl
line 8:

Quote:
{capture name=childTimestamp}{g->date timestamp=$item.originationTimestamp}{/capture}

and replace the "originationTimestamp" with the "creationTimestamp"
