Displaying Description

Post by onyxweb »

Hi,

I'm using J! 1.7.3 and Phoca Gallery 3.1.1.

Thumbs display beautifully:http://www.acatlow.co.uk/index.php/serv ... -page.html

...but when you click to large view, Descriptions do not display.

I'm using the HighSlide JS (image only) for the display window.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Hi Benno,

Thanks for your swift reply.

I'm new to Phoca Gallery, and hadn't even checked out the Options page! Amazing product - VERY cool!

Added nice little thumbs at the base of the Detail View. Neat.

The Description setting you recommend, however I can't get to work. I'm sure its me!

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Bass

Hi Benno,

Sorry for the delay.

This isn't working, I'm afraid.

http://www.acatlow.co.uk/index.php/serv ... -page.html

I have inserted some Description text, and it does display with the mouseover event on the thumb, but not on the Detail view:

Hello there,

I'm having another issue. I do have the discription below the images in detail view.
What I would like is the description of the image in category view as a mouseover effect. Now it shows the image title.

I'm using Phoca Gallery 2.8.1

My website is http://www.bestemmingonbekend.nl. To directly go to the pictures: http://www.bestemmingonbekend.nl/index.php/fotos

Thanks in advance,

Regards,

Jeroen

Sorry for this. I already found out myself. That was not too difficult:

In /components/com_phocagallery/views/category/tmpl/default.php

I changed

Code: Select all

 echo ' title="'. $value->title.'"';
to

Code: Select all

echo ' title="'. $value->description.'"';
Regards,

Jeroen
