I18N Gallery

[mvlcek]

I too have been hacking this gallery and wasn't sure whether such subjects belong in this topic as there is already a lot to cover with features and problems. However, please correct me if I'm wrong - I'm new here.

This is the correct place.

I was very pleased when I discovered this plug-in and it was one of the reasons that I selected GetSimple for the project I'm currently working on.

I'm glad you like the plugin :-)

However there were some features that were missing and I've hacked them into the prettyphoto gallery of the 1.2 Version. They features were:

• Display the image description in the gallery view, with a show / not show checkbox in the admin area.
  

The reason I do not include the description in the thumb view is that a (long) description would make the thumbs look terrible. Do you have an example with your hack?
Additionally, as prettyPhoto only displays the title, it would be weird to see the description in the thumb view but not in the full view.
BTW: the description is shown on thumb mouseover, as it is in the title of the thumb for prettyPhoto.

• A description of a gallery. (I realise that I could have added this directly in the gallery pages, but I wanted to keep all the input related to the galleries together in the admin area.) At the moment I'm using an input HTML field as a temporary solution but more of this at another time.
  

Normally a user will display one gallery per page thus the gallery title is not displayed, as it would duplicate the page title. Regarding a description I was thinking about one, but with not displaying the title, I decided to keep it simple and not add a description, as it can be included in the page.

BTW: I tried to only specify the most important CSS properties in the styles, all the others should be put in the theme's css file (just make them a bit more specific), e.g.

Code:

body .gallery-prettyphoto .gallery-thumb .gallery-title {
        line-height: 110%;  /* Ist sonst in '#article #section' in style.css-Datei */
        font-weight: bolder;
      }
