Dynamic titles for Gallery, anyone?

I've learned that Google Tap with Dynamic Titles can be a very powerful combination. For those who don't know what dynamic titles are, simply observe your browser's title bar as you navigate this website. Smile

Anyway, the standard dynamic titles distribution doesn't include support for Gallery though. So now, you can insert this into you dynamic_titles.php:

Code: › // gallery
if($name=="gallery"){
$newname = "Photo Gallery"; //or whatever if you want to change the name
global $gallery;
if ($gallery->session->albumName != "") {
$albumname = $gallery->album->fields["title"];
$newpagetitle = "$item_delim $newname $item_delim $albumname";
}
else {
$newpagetitle = "$item_delim $newname";
}
}

It's not perfect but it's a start. Right now, it only displays the album title but not the photo's caption/title if you view a photo. I've been trying to figure out how to do this but I'm stuck. Can someone help?

demo found at http://phpnuke.nukedgallery.net/gallery.html [nukedgallery.net].

edit as follows (note: all line numbers reference Gallery 1.4.2-cvs-b5, but should be close for 1.4.1):

open view_photo.php.
find, on or about line 114:

PHP: ›

<?php $photoURL = $gallery->album->getAlbumDirURL("full") . "/" . $image->name . "." . $image->type;

list($imageWidth, $imageHeight) = $image->getRawDimensions(); ?>

add after:

PHP: › <?php $pagetitle = "» $name » ".$gallery->album->fields['title']." » ".$image->name; ?>

save and close.

open view_album.php.
find, on or about line 67:

PHP: › <?php $albumName = $gallery->session->albumName; ?>

add after:

PHP: › <?php $pagetitle = "» $name » ".$gallery->album->fields['title']; ?>

save and close.

open index.html.
find, on or about line 50:

PHP: › <?php $GALLERY_EMBEDDED_INSIDE='nuke'; ?>

add after:

PHP: › <?php $pagetitle = "» $name"; ?>

save and close.

Thanks! As usual, you make it look so easy! Very Happy

Although (I think) my implementation of dynamic titles isn't exactly the same I got the idea and now it works!

By the way, how do I get the caption instead of the image name? A lot of my image names are aaa, aab, etc. The captions are more meaningful though.

[edit]
Okay, I came up with something. I'm sure there's a much easier way though. Laughing

Code: › $imageid = $gallery->album->getPhotoIndex($id);
$caption = $gallery->album->getCaption($imageid);

[/edit]

in view_photo.php (undo the stuff I said from above for the file)...
find, on or about line 114:

PHP: ›

<?php $photoURL = $gallery->album->getAlbumDirURL("full") . "/" . $image->name . "." . $image->type;

list($imageWidth, $imageHeight) = $image->getRawDimensions(); ?>

add after:

PHP: ›

<?php $pageCaption = $gallery->album->getCaption($index);

if (trim($pageCaption) == "") {                         

        $pageCaption=$gallery->album->getPhotoId($index);                              

}                                

$pagetitle = "&raquo; $name &raquo; ".$gallery->album->fields['title']." &raquo; ".$pageCaption; ?>

save and close.

what this does is put the caption in the title bar, and if it doesn't have a caption, it puts in the photo's ID. see http://phpnuke.nukedgallery.net/gallery-photo_Rameens-trip-to-WA-pearygin_lake.html [nukedgallery.net] for an example w/ caption, http://phpnuke.nukedgallery.net/gallery-photo_maine2003-P1010018.html [nukedgallery.net] for an example w/o caption.
