Hi,

I'm a newby to Gallery3 so this may be some stupid questions. I did a search but did not find the answers I need. Maybe you can show me in the right direction.

In my Theme (Grey Dragon Wind Theme - 1.0.8) there are a couple of changes I wish to make. I'm not sure if I can do this through a module or if I have to make changes in the php files.

1) I don't want the album description to show above the album. However if possible I do like to keep it in the side bar.
2) I don't want to show the file name of the photo.

Can someone direct me to the right forum posts or modules?

Thank you,

ArtoStudo

1. there is a theme setting called: Description Display Mode then I guess you could use the info module to show it in the sidebar. I have not used the theme much but if it shows in 2 places currently and the settings don't work then you will have to edit the view file responsible for the view.

2. I'm sure there is a setting for this as well. play with the overwhelming amount of settings available to see if you can get what you are after.

The about this album module will show the description in the sidebar, if the description is set and regardless of the description being anywhere else.

I looked but can't find any settings or modules with settings which can do this. In Admin under Advanced Settings under Info I do see "show_description" but that only influences the description in the side bar menu. Maybe I am overlooking things?

(always make a backup before starting to experiment)
So I went into my theme's Views folder opened the album.html.php file in dreamweaver and removed:

<div class="g-description"><?= nl2br(html::purify($item->description)) ?></div>

That removed the description from above the album thumbnails.

Next step finding out how to remove the filename from the side bar menu......

Got that as well....
In Admin under Advanced Settings under Info change "show_name" value from 1 to 0.

Glad you got it all sorted but when one says there is a theme setting it is not a advanced setting.
