General Support: Changing number of comments

I'll break my answer down into two tasks:

1) This is the easy one. If you just don't want the "(# comments)" to show in the gallery, add this line to your stylesheet (gallery.css):
.meta-header {
display:none;
}

2) If you want to keep track of the number of views or downloads, you'll first have to add a database column that keeps track of them. That's simple enough. When a file is called through Plogger, increment this value by one. Then, find where gallery.php writes "(# comments)" and replace the query with one to retrieve the other value.

Don't use solution 1 & 2 together, as 1 would hide your changes for 2. However, you could use 1 while you implemented 2, then undo 1 to see your changes.

Good luck,
Derek
