CPG allows us to post a "description" field for each image within a particular album and for my site's needs I can just duplicate the same description for each pic in the album so cut-n-paste works for me so far. As I'm posting more and more albums that have more pics in each it's taking a looong time to do this. To shortcut this behavior I'm just wondering if there's an effective way to post a single description that will resolve itself on each intermediate image page but remain discrete for that album only.
Hi,
the keyword_add plugin (http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php?topic=37103.0) allow you to add info for the custom description fields. You can modify the code for the desciption field
Thanks Franz:
Alternatively, however, can't I just copy the sample intermediate template and put it into my theme.php then remark out the call for {CAPTION} and replace it with a call from the album view called {ALB_DESC}. I could remark {ALB_DESC} from my Album view and hide {CAPTION} from my intermediate view. Exposing the variable {ALB_DESC} in my intermediate view would mean that I'd only have to update the album description and every intermediate pic in that album will show my bbcode. The only problem is that I don't know how to reference {ALB_DESC} from the intermediate page. When I resolve the page it only shows the code string not the data from the dbase. Am I able to do it this way or am I out of luck if I don't reference the actual album? I will explore your previous tip, thanks.
:-\ Ooops! Sorry about the "t" Frantz. I was doing so well with my wireless kb but missed that before posting.
