I am using the random image function to display random images on the index.php of my zen photo gallery. I would like to also display the image caption.

I would like to place it:
(1) as the image description in the image tag.
(2) as a separate caption elsewhere on the page.

Is this possible, and if so how? Can anyone give me the code snippet? Below is the code I have on my index.php page

Any help greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Do it in just the same way as the code you posted gets the title.

thanks.

Getting the title doesn't seem to be a problem so thats all good - but I am having a problem getting the description. I have been attempting to use getImageDesc() but it throws an error.

The following code snippet returns the title fine,

'.htmlspecialchars($randomImage->getTitle(), ENT_QUOTES).'

But, using getImageDesc() throws an error.
'.htmlspecialchars($randomImage->getImageDesc(), ENT_QUOTES).'

I am obviously doing something wrong, any ideas?

Sorry my php skills leave a little to be desired, but your help is genuinely appreciated.

You will probably have to improve your PHP skills for a project like this. For instance, I imagine the error thrown said that the method getImageDesc() does not exist since its name is getDesc(). Review also the functions guides.

So, for the benefit of others who may want to achieve the same goal as myself goal:

To print the caption or title of an image placed using the random image function use

getTitle() and getDesc() an example of how to use this is:

[i]On a point of info: someone might want to update the User Guide: getDesc() does not exist since its name is listed as getImageDesc()[/i]
You are wrong actually (beside the doc is generated automatically from the files directly). getImageDesc() is a template function depending on the image context: http://www.zenphoto.org/documentation/functions/_template-functions.php.html#functiongetImageDesc

getDesc() is a direct image class method and needs to be used on the image object.

I stand corrected - I did look, but I didn't find it.
