General Support: Display filename below thumbnails and above single picture

Hello,

I just installed Plogger, and it works great!
Only i'm customizing it to my needs, but I can't get something to work.

What I want:
- Display the filename below the thumbnails (instead of the caption)
- Display the filename above the single picture (instead of the date & caption)

I've tried to edit it in plog-functions.php and in the themefiles, but it doesn't work.

Can someone help me please?

You should be able to just use the template function "plogger_get_picture_url()" in place of "plogger_get_picture_caption()". Take a look at the theme template files and you should be able to figure it out pretty easily.

Yes, I tried that already, but that's not what I want :(

Posted By: mikeYou just want the filename? Try replacing plogger_get_picture_caption() with

basename($GLOBALS["current_picture"]["path"])

If you want to be fancy, you could make your own template function... just add this to plog-functions.php

function plogger_get_picture_filename() {
return htmlspecialchars(SmartStripSlashes(basename($GLOBALS["current_picture"]["path"])));
}


And then in your template you would just need to use plogger_get_picture_filename()

Thanks! Works great.

Well... there are a few things you can do...

1.) The easiest thing is to just make your thumbnails larger so the captions don't overflow into the adjacent thumbnails... but this isn't 100% reliable.

2.) You can just hide the overflow using CSS

Add "overflow: hidden" to the properties of the .tag CSS rule in gallery.css of your theme file (gallery.css (line 269)).

.tag {
height:125px;
overflow:hidden; /* this will hide the overflowing captions */
text-align:center;
width:110px;
}

3.) You can add text truncation to the PHP template function. There is actually already a configuration variable on the options page called "truncate" that you could use, if the top two don't work let me know and I will write some PHP code you can use.

I can't test this right now, but try something like...

function truncate_str($str, $len, $dots = "...") {
if (strlen($str) > $len) {
$dotlen = strlen($dots);
$str = substr_replace($str, $dots, $len - $dotlen);
}
return $str;
}

function plogger_get_picture_filename_truncated() {
global $config;

$fname = htmlspecialchars(SmartStripSlashes(basename($GLOBALS["current_picture"]["path"])));
return truncate_str($fname, $config['truncate'], '...');
}


Then you can set your truncation amount in the options menu and it will change dynamically. Otherwise, just hard code a number in for $config['truncate'].
