Tthe original poster asked about the image description showing with the thumbnails, which is what my example does. Noone spoke of "alt" tags....I don't know what you expected.
If you want the description in the alt tag, you can place it within an image link like that [img]your-image[/img]" />
Okay, just different interpretation of "description" My previous attempts at albums, I added a short blurb to each thumb as a way of knowing what the pic refers to. (Then the full size had the full story). Another I added the location. Hence, my thinking that's how he was using the word. I didn't ever think of the full written blurb which can be lengthy. (mine are) I used the "alt tag" to refer to the way we normally indicate the short description of an image, and which I know Zenhoto uses for various purposes.
What was a bit funny is I had the font size on my browser increased quite a bit so when the code was added, it really made an impact .
Hi
I have just started using zenphoto - what a great blend of simplicity, elegance and capability. Thank you all. I have been playing with the Highslide theme and want to put the image description into the alt tag, as highslide can automatically put alt tags into captions. I can then keep a short title in the tooltip for the thumbnail. acrylian's last comment appears to be basically what I want but I cannot figure out where to put it, as this theme seems not to use the image.php for displaying the images, only album.php. Can anyone help me please?
Figured it out eventually.
