+At the end of my last post, I'd finished creating the first part of the new
+photo gallery, but I wanted to change the dates of the published photos to
+reflect the ones on the client's original website.
+
+Firstly, I'll refer to the previous list of published galleries that I created
+before, and create something different that also displays the created and
+modified dates. Picking the node ID of the required gallery, I used the
+following SQL query to display a list of photos.
+
+```sql
+SELECT n.title, n.nid, n.created, n.changed, p.field_gallery_nid
+FROM node n, content_type_photo pWHERE n.type = 'photo'
+AND p.field_gallery_nid = 103AND n.nid = p.nid
+ORDER BY n.nid ASC;
+```
+
+When I look back at the old photo gallery, I can see that the previous 'last
+added' date was June 27, 2008. So, how do I update my new photos to reflect that
+date? Using <http://www.onlineconversion.com/unix_time.htm>, I can enter the
+required date in its readable format, and it will give me the equivilent UNIX
+timestamp. To keep things relatively simple, I'll set all photos within this
+gallery to the same time.
+
+The result that I'm given is '1217149200'. I can now use an UPDATE statement
+within another SQL query to update the created and modified dates.
+
+```sql
+UPDATE node
+INNER JOIN content_type_photo
+ON node.nid = content_type_photo.nid
+SET
+  node.created = 1217149200,
+  node.changed = 1217149200
+WHERE content_type_photo.field_gallery_nid = 103
+```
+
+Now when I query the database, both the created and modified dates have been
+updated, and when I return to the new photo gallery, the updated value is being
+displayed.
+
+Once the changes have been applied, it's a case of repeating the above process
+for each of the required galleries.
+
+In the next post, I'll explain how to add a count of published galleries and
+photos on the main photo gallery page, as well as how to install and configure
+the [Shadowbox](http://drupal.org/project/shadowbox) module.
