display date under thumbnail

[amintorres]

hi there. :)
i see this person http://24by36.richardalmasi.com/index.php?x=browse
was able to display the date of the posted image right under each thumbnail.
anywhere where i can find some instructions to accomplish the same?
any help will be awesome!
thanks

This is probably a "hack" as I don't know of any addon capable of doing this.

The good thing is, it's a relatively easy one.

open includes/functions_browse.php

Find:

$thumb_output .= "<a href=\"$showprefix$id\"><img src=\"$thumbnail\" alt=\"$title\" title=\"$title\" class=\"thumbnails\" /></a>";


and replace with:


$thumb_output .= "<div class=\"thumbnailContainer\">"; // thumbnail date hack
$thumb_output .= "<a href=\"$showprefix$id\"><img src=\"$thumbnail\" alt=\"$title\" title=\"$title\" class=\"thumbnails\" /></a>";
$thumb_output .= "<span class=\"thumbnailCaption\">$datetime</span></div>"; // thumbnail date hack


and in your CSS file add:


.thumbnailContainer {
width:120px;
float:left;
margin:10px;
}

.thumbnailCaption {
display:block;
}


You may need to tweak the above CSS code to work with your template.

That means you are using Pixelpost v1.5 or lower.

Once you upgrade to v1.6 this hack will work.

[amintorres]

wow that's crazy! i just started my blog less than a month ago!
i dont understand how this can be other than the 1.6 or latest version...
anyways! i guess there are instructions on the 1.6 package to do the upgrading?
