Phoca Forum

Hi everyone

I installed Phoca gallery in Joomla 4 and I have been following a video tutorial about it and learning something new every day.
The tutorial points to this website as a reference point which I also replicated:

I was wondering if there is a way to add descriptions to the images.
There is actually an EDIT button which is enabled if you select a photo and among other options there is a description field down below where you can put a description as you can see in the screenshot below:

However, I can't see it anywhere if you click on the image and open it

Could you please help me figure it out?
Thanks

Hi,
to display image descriptions, you must first enable this feature in Phoca Gallery Options.
For Category View: backend --> Components --> Phoca Gallery --> Control Panel --> Options --> Category View Settings --> Display Image Description In Box='Yes' or 'Yes(HTML)'

For Detail View: backend --> Components --> Phoca Gallery --> Control Panel --> Options --> Detail View Settings --> Description Settings --> Display Description In Detail View='Show (Standard)' or 'Show (Lightbox)'

Kind regards,
Benno

I made the changes but here is what I see now:

A description in the preview box (image 1), and no description in the detail view, which is not what I was after.

How comes?
Thanks

Hi,

A description in the preview box (image 1),

Perhaps you should switch from Phoca Gallery Theme Simple to Phoca Gallerey Theme Standard:
Then it should look like this:

and no description in the detail view

Ok, use the Detail View Photoswipe, and set: Photoswipe Settings --> Display Caption='Title and description'
Then it should look like this:
