Hello,
Loving Phoca Gallery, really great stuff! Thank you so much for sure a great tool!
My question is this... Can you display the image description on the Category View (Thumbnail Page)? See the attached image for what I want to do... I want to display the stuff that is marked with the green-outlined box, and I would also love if I could tell Phoca to truncate the description and end it with a "..." like in the red circle, prompting the viewer to click for the whole description. Possible?
Thanks!
Peter

Hi, this needs to be customized in the code.
Description is loaded in category view so it can be easily done.
In \components\com_phocagallery\views\category\tmpl\default.php
you should find the place where you want to add your description and add e.g. there:
echo $value->description
if you want it will be cut, you can use Phoca Gallery Method:
echo PhocaGalleryText::wordDelete($value->description, 250, '...');
the second parameter is number of characters, the third parameter is end character

Jan,
Thank you!!! It worked perfectly.
Just to make sure I did it correctly, I changed this...
Code: Select all
if ($value->type == 2) {
if ($value->displayname == 1) {
echo '<div class="phocaname" style="font-size:'.$this->tmpl['fontsizename'].'px">'
.PhocaGalleryText::wordDelete($value->title, $this->tmpl['charlengthname'], '...').'</div>';
}
if ($value->displayname == 2) {
echo '<div class="phocaname" style="font-size:'.$this->tmpl['fontsizename'].'px"> </div>';
}
}
to this...
Code: Select all
if ($value->type == 2) {
if ($value->displayname == 1) {
echo '<div class="phocaname" style="font-size:'.$this->tmpl['fontsizename'].'px">'
.PhocaGalleryText::wordDelete($value->title, $this->tmpl['charlengthname'], '...').'</div>';
echo PhocaGalleryText::wordDelete($value->description, 250, '...');
}
if ($value->displayname == 2) {
echo '<div class="phocaname" style="font-size:'.$this->tmpl['fontsizename'].'px"> </div>';
}
}
Everything look good?

Hi, you can display description in the boxes without changing the code, see:
https://www.phoca.cz/templatedemo/phoca-gallery
(

the parameter is called:
Display Image Description in Box
see:
