A normal category and subcategory description shows both the number of galleries and the number of photos in those galleries like this:



Using this customization, you can remove the number of photos so it just looks like this:



To install this customization, just paste this code into your bottom javascript:

// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// TrimCategoryPhotoCount
//
// Takes a category of subcategory description that would typically
// look like this:
//
// 1 gallery with 11 photos 
// 4 galleries with 140 photos
// 
// And changes it to remove the photo count so it just looks like this:
//
// 1 gallery
// 4 galleries
// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
function TrimCategoryPhotoCount()
{
    var miniBoxes = YD.getElementsByClassName("miniBox", "div", this);
    for (var i = 0; i < miniBoxes.length; i++)
    {
        var descriptions = YD.getElementsByClassName("description", "p", miniBoxes[i]);
        try 
        {
            var match = descriptions[0].innerHTML.match(/^\d+ galler(y|ies)/);
            descriptions[0].innerHTML = match[0];
        } catch (e) {}
    }
}
YE.onContentReady("categoriesBox", TrimCategoryPhotoCount);
YE.onContentReady("subcategoriesBox", TrimCategoryPhotoCount);

There is an older version of this script floating around that was written by someone else, but it generates errors in some circumstances. This one should work better.

Very cool. Just one note: When combining this with the Display subcategories and galleries together hack, put this one first so the subcategory gets the photo count trimmed first.

worked for me!!!

Hi John,

I have inserted the codes but it didn't seem to work.

That's because you are using the script that combines galleries and sub-categories so the sub-category thumbs have been moved and are not where they normally are. You can try adding this line to the end of your bottom javascript and see if it works then:

YE.onContentReady("galleriesBox", TrimCategoryPhotoCount);

Thanks John! It worked.

Along these same lines, John, is there a way to get rid of the "updated February 28, 2010" garble? I only want the gallery title and number, nothing more.

Thanks,

Rob

EDIT: in fact, now that I look at it, I could do without any descriptions whatsoever, just the gallery title - if that's possible???

This CSS gets rid of the updated line:

#category .miniBox p.updated {display:none;}

This CSS gets rid of the description in the category view:

#category .miniBox p.description {display:none;}

I used the above CSS to try and get rid of the gallery description and updated date. It worked for the albums once you open them from my main Galleries page, but I want to get rid of the same things on the Galleries page also. The below link shows the page where I want to get rid of that info. How do I do it?

If you want to get rid of the info everywhere, then use this CSS instead:

.miniBox p.updated {display:none;}
.miniBox p.description {display:none;}

Hi jfriend:

Taking this thread as an example, I want only to show the number of photos in the category or subcategory. Example: airplanes=100 photos, nature=50 photos and so on.

I have implemented the code, and for now it shows the number of galleries in each category...But I need only photos.

Please advice,

Regards, Ben

In the script, try changing this line from this:

var match = descriptions[0].innerHTML.match(/^\d+ galler(y|ies)/);

to this:

var match = descriptions[0].innerHTML.match(/\d+ photos?/);

It worked Thanks
