For cpg 1.5.8, how do I get album descriptions to be shown in thumbnail view ?

[hanzon2010]

I have just installed Coppermine, and am using the theme Rain Day.  I would like to have the description in the thumbnails view as well, like in this example Coppermine website :

http://retinagallery.com/thumbnails.php?album=46

Thanks, please help.  This is all I need, and all will be right, thanks.


My theme.php is this :

Code Select Expand

Thanks.

I saw a reply by Andre, saying :

"Copy function theme_display_thumbnails to your themes theme.php file if it doesn't exists. "

But I searched my whole directory and could not find such a function, so I posted my theme.php in my first post to show as well.  Would anyone know where I can copy it from ?  Sorry, am no PHP guy, just trying though.

It's in the sample theme.php

Thanks ...  I don't know how I missed it, I used the Search Companion of Windows ... anyway, here we go, my first time to modify a php ...

[hanzon2010]

Thanks, folks !  Works fine.

Now only issue is it's not formatted like the one in the Album description - i.e. BB Code, carriage return, line spacing ...

Any solution for this yet ?  If none, I guess I'll just have to be more careful in formatting my descriptions, although it's tough without carriage returns to separate lines

Just change

Code Select Expand


$title .= '<br/><br/>'.$CURRENT_ALBUM_DATA['description'];


to

Code Select Expand


$title .= '<br/><br/>' . bb_decode($CURRENT_ALBUM_DATA['description']);
