Customizing the Detail Page

I have configured my Phoca Gallery as much as I can at the moment. My preference is a non-popup detail page. My problem is that the detail page doesn't have many customization options. I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction for customization of that output. Is it handled with database calls or through a php script mainly? Is there a WYSIWYG editor I could use? My hand-coding of php and HTML won't be enough if that's the only option.

What I am looking for is a way to, on my details page, display more information below the image. I would like the description to show, but when I turn off the overlay on the image the text gets cut off. I would like my EXIF information to show up below this and I would like the icons for downloading and for the full-image display to show here as well. If this was included in a tab such as the comments, statistics and uploads are in a category it would be even better, but I don't know if I want to tackle that yet.

If someone has done this, sharing of code would be great. If not, just a couple pointers as to where to go to find a way to do it myself would be helpful as well.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, I think, for such customization you need to have skills in php/html/css :-(

you need to know which data is comming from database and then to customize the output for them :-(
