here are the changes I make for my galleries


My evolutions and modifications for 1.4 (surely not the best but my choice)
I will add on this post all new modifications I will do.
I'm definitively not a programer but I will be happy to show this and help people who need exemples too.


______________________________________________________________________________
 
1) To my free gallery, I like to have most registered visitors, to know who they are.
In “index.php”
Change :

       if ( isset( $_COOKIE['id'] ) ) $url = 'category';
       else                           $url = 'identification';
     }
     else                             $url = ' category ';

to :

       if ( isset( $_COOKIE['id'] ) ) $url = 'category';
       else                           $url = 'identification';
     }
     else                             $url = 'identification';

also :
in “identification.tpl :
put the line :
       <p><a href="./category.php">[ {L_GUEST} ]</a></p>
After
     <a href="mailto:{MAIL_ADMIN}?subject=[PhpWebGallery] {L_FORGET}"><img src="./template/{T_STYLE}/theme/lost.gif" style="border:0;" alt=""/>&nbsp;{L_FORGET}</a>

2) to change place and size of logo on top of the gallerie


a) cut, in "category.tpl" :  ( width="360" height="100" ) and modify  : style="padding:3px” ;
you will can put a logo with different sizes.
b) cut : "<div align="center" style="padding:3px;"><img src="template/default/images/logo.jpg"  ></div>"
and paste in ligne 4  on the top of menu, to earn place for the thumbnails...

______________________________________________________________________________

3) to create a new menu and open links on a new small window :


in italics and blue, the exemple for my own gallery


a) write in "categorie.tpl" after   <div class="table1"> :
<div class="titreMenu">your title</div>
                 <div class="menu">
<a href="#"  onClick="MM_openBrWindow('.../aaaaa.htm','contact','width=240,height=360')"  >contact</a><br>
                 <a href="#"  onClick="MM_openBrWindow('.../bbbbb.htm','news','width=300,height=400')"  >news</a><br>
                 <a href="#"  onClick="MM_openBrWindow('.../ccccc.htm','infos','width=390,height=390')"  >services</a><br>
                 <a href="#"  onClick="MM_openBrWindow('.../ddddd.htm','recommander','width=390,height=390 ')" >recommander</a><br>
                 <a href="../abonnes/index.php" target="_blank">Galerie privée  - Private  gallery</a><br>


                 </div>


b) write in "script.js":   (to open a new small window)
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function MM_displayStatusMsg(msgStr) { //v1.0
  status=msgStr;
  document.MM_returnValue = true;
}

function MM_openBrWindow(theURL,winName,features) { //v2.0
  window.open(theURL,winName,features);
}

//-->
</script>

4) put on the top of the thumbnails the navigation bar   :


write on "categorie.tpl" on line 74 after <div class="titrePage">{TITLE}</div>:
<!-- BEGIN navigation -->
              <div class="navigationBar">{cat_infos.navigation.NAV_BAR}</div>
              <!-- END navigation -->
              <!-- BEGIN comment -->
              <div class="info">{cat_infos.comment.COMMENTS}</div>
              <!-- END comment -->
            <!-- END cat_infos -->

______________________________________________________________________________

5)Permettre le retour à la ligne dans le menu

Dans « default.css », pour : [b] menu , enlever le :[/b]
white-space:nowrap;

_____________________________________________________________________________

6) to erase rates and hints under the pictures  : (I have two galleries, one with all features and one with only the most important)


go to "picture.php"
and write "//" in front of the selected lines

______________________________________________________________________________

7) to erase metadata title on picture page :


go to "picture.tpl" and erase : "<th colspan="2">{metadata.headline.TITLE}</th>"

______________________________________________________________________________


8) to show always metadata on picture page : (I search how to let the metadata lignes allways open):

not finish
to hide links , go to "picture.tpl"   close the lines
          [ <a href="{show_metadata.URL}">{L_PICTURE_SHOW_METADATA}</a> ] 
and       
          [ <a href="{hide_metadata.URL}">{L_PICTURE_HIDE_METADATA}</a> ] 
with <!-- and -->

______________________________________________________________________________

         

9) time number of comments displayed


go to "comment.php" and change number of [max day] on ligne  37

______________________________________________________________________________


10)  To erase number of total images in the category menu :

In “category.tpl” erase :
      <div class="totalImages">[&nbsp;{NB_PICTURE}&nbsp;{L_TOTAL}&nbsp;]</div>
        </div>

______________________________________________________________________________


11) to erase number of pictures after each category on the menu :

in “fonctions_html.inc.php” erase :

  if ($category['nb_images'] > 0)
  {
    $menu.= '
             <span class="menuInfoCat"
                   title="'.$category['nb_images'].'
                          '.$lang['images_available'].'">
             ['.$category['nb_images'].']
             </span>
             '.get_icon($category['date_last']);
  }
______________________________________________________________________________


12) to change number of pictures view (best rated, most visited)  :

in “config.inc.php”  Change :
                $conf[‘top_number’] = 30;
