[Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] Alt text Title Description

anyone…? smh

What version are you using? 1.84 doesnt have anything on Line 603.

I’m using 1.83 it is the line that has this code:

// strip off the extension of the filename
$path_parts = pathinfo( $picture, PATHINFO_BASENAME);
$alttext = pathinfo( $picture, PATHINFO_BASENAME);

Ok if you are using version 1.8.4

Line 686

Add

$alttext = ($image->imageURL);

That’s it

Here is my full test file

<?php

If you rather have it in the description instead of the solution above just remove that line above and do this.

Line 690

add

$description = ($image->imageURL);

Using Notepad ++ you can do a compare of 1.83 if the lines are different. Looking at my full file here you should be able to figure out where it goes. I recommend going to 1.84 though and making the edits then. I recently had to make an edit to mine too and went to 1.84 before I did mine. On mine I insert the exif data as you can see on my site (https://www.seanrick.com)

Hi Span,

Thank you very much. it worked fine in 1.83. I just pasted

$alttext = ($image->imageURL); right after

// get the title
$alttext = empty( $meta[‘title’] ) ? $image->alttext

It works perfectly. Thanks a lot man. Much appreciated

Not a problem. I am hoping Alex Rabe will add some of the things we do on our personal sites as options in future releases if we want them enabled. For now we just have to manually add them. Its pretty easy once you do it enough. I’ve been changing my file for over a year now through each revision. Just make sure you make a copy of your functions.php. So you can safely update to each version then replace with the your functions.php. It’s best though to document your changes and actually add them to the new file so you can get the other updates he does. Which is why I went to 1.84. Think my functions.php file was somewhere around v1.6ish up to yesterday.

Same here. I’ve been changing the functions.php file for a while now but unfortunately, I haven’t documented my changes. I do have a copy saved for backup. Do you know where I can get the original functions.php file for version 1.83. I think I might just go through the original file line by line checking it against mine so I can document the changes so I can also update to version 1.84. Also, do you know how to get the plugin to work with Amazon S3 for WordPress with CloudFront?

When I did my first upgrade from functions.php 1.6ish to 1.8.4 I just lined them up side by side using the compare tool in Notepad++ and anywhere I had my changes there wasn’t anything there in the new file. It will tell you what lines differ. I found my edits and looked at the new file and was able to tell where they went. In the 3 instances documented in my other thread they lined right up with the newer file.

Ahhh, I see. I didn’t realize Notepad++ had a compare tool. I’ll use that then to figure out the changes. Thanks a lot for this. I really appreciate it. One more thing, do you know how to get the plugin to work with Amazon S3 for WordPress with CloudFront?

No idea on the amazon file btw. I don’t use it.

OK no worries. Thanks a lot. I never new Notepad++ had a compare feature. Thanks for the tip

Very handy. My next project is to get this nextgen to play nice with Pirobox Extended. I think it looks better then Fancybox which I use now.

Cool. Well if you get it to work, let me know. It might come in handy for me. I’m going to try to figure out how to use a CDN with the plugin
