Title: Display album description in thumbnails view
Post by: funlounge on May 02, 2006, 05:22:29 pm
Hi,

I'd love an option to Display album description in thumbnails view

For example, where seeing the thumbnails of Album ABC, you can actually see the
description of the album in the upper part, just above the thumbnails

Does it exist ?

Thanks

Not in the core code. What I have liked to use is minicms, where I can have content for categories, albums, images, or even pages. With this method, I can have longish album description on the thumbnail page without the album description making the index page look cluttered.

Example: http://takethu.com/thumbnails.php?album=13 shows minicms content above the thumbnails.

However, on the page that lists the album, the long description doesn't show up next to the album thumbnail: http://takethu.com/index.php?cat=4

Of course, this could result in duplicate work, but the tradeoff is fine with me.

support isn't being done by PM, we believe in posting publicly for the benfit of others. That's what a board is meant to be used for.

As this is the feature requests board, and not the support board I'm locking this thread.
