Displaying descriptions on lightbox

[neilmarks]

Hi,

I am trying to display the image description on all the images when using a lightbox (modal pop-up). I seem to have all the parameters set correctly, but when I start the slideshow only the first image is showing the description.

any suggestions?.

many thanks in advance
Neil

Hi, the slideshow does not show description, this is a feature of used javascript library, this will be changed in Joomla!1.6 - Phoca Gallery 3 displays description while slideshow (because of possibilty to use new mootools library)

@Jan - Can't wait for Joomla! 1.6 and the latest releases of your extensions, they are getting a lot of attention and I'm looking forward to all the great updates!

@neilmarks - If you are comfortable hacking up the component a little, you can use the update described post to display description data, as well as title. The basis is that the Javascript library just takes one of the html element attributes, and loads them for all photos. Manually adding the description to that html element attribute will load the full details, instead of just the title. The link displays the most detail, but there are a few other forum posts on this if you look around. I think the link targets the Slimbox overlay, but it works for a couple different settings.

@imperialWicket,

thanks. I think that's a bit beyond my technical capabilities so I will have to wait for J1.6!.
