WordPress NextGen Gallery – Add Date Print Out to Compact Album Listings
I was working on my personal blog and wanted to add the date or a date range to the top of each gallery when they are listed out. The blog I am speaking of uses WordPress, WP version 2.7, with the NextGen Gallery plugin, NGG version 1.2.1, for pictures. I list the all of the galleries by using the album compact function so the below howto relates to that function only. What it will do is simply print out anything in the description field right above the image you have highlighted for each gallery. Since I was not using the description for anything else I just add the date or a date range into that field such as 01-01-2009 or 04-16-2009 to 08-10-2009. Follow the directions below and you can print out anything you like above each gallery listing.
The NextGen Gallery shortcode used to display the galleries:
