To his credit, I couldn’t figure it out off the top of my head, so he hired my programming team to look into it, and he is kind enough to have given us permission to post the solution we came up with publicly so that if any of you need it it’s here…

Left sidebar page
wp-content\themes\THEME\l_sidebar.php

In left sidebar page we have changed div id from “desc” to “gallery_desc”.

Image Browser page
wp-content\plugins\nextgen-gallery\view\imagebrowser.php

In image browser page we added below mentioned code.

<div id="gal_title" style="display:none;"><b><?php echo ucfirst($image->alttext) ?></b></div>
<div id="gal_desc" style="display:none;"><p><?php echo ucfirst($image->description) ?></p></div>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"> document.getElementById('gallery_desc').innerHTML = document.getElementById('gal_title').innerHTML+document.getElementById('gal_desc').innerHTML;
</script>

In place of

<div class="ngg-imagebrowser-desc"><h6><?php echo $image->description ?></h6></div>

Here we are putting the title & description in hidden div tags, and after loading the page, we allocate these values to left panel div tag having id “gallery_desc”.

One of my favorite WordPress plugins is Contact Form 7 – it is a powerful and extremely simple contact form that can be set up in a matter of seconds. Until recently, though, there was no good way to get it to use a custom thank you page – you had to go into the code and hack about, and they were releasing updates on a frequent enough basis that by the time you had your hack in place they were already asking you to upgrade the software.

Anyhow, this has now been fixed and the solution is ever so easy.

At the bottom of the settings page for Contact Form 7 is something called “Additional Settings”

Simply paste the code below into that box, edit the thank you page to reflect the URL that you want, and you are off!

on_sent_ok: "location.replace('http://www.mysite.com/mypage.html');"

Then simply paste the conversion code into your thank you page and you are ready to track contacts / signups on your site!

Note:
I found this solution on the comments at http://www.grapethinking.com/wordpress-contact-form-7-plugin-landing-pag – I will keep my eyes out for any further updates, just wanted to post this clearly as I had to dig around for hours to find it!!

The primary issue was that on the view of an album where it shows all of the thumbnails in a grid, I wanted to see the title and description of the picture.

The fix is actually fairly simple.

In the nextgen-gallery/view folder is a file called “gallery.php”.

In that file, there is a little block of code which displays the thumbnails.

<?php foreach ($images as $image) : ?>

</div>
</div>
<?php if ( $gallery->columns > 0 && ++$i % $gallery->columns == 0 ) { ?>
<br style="clear: both" />
<?php } ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>

What we need to do is add this bit of code:


<p align="left" style="margin-left:0px;">
<strong><?php echo $image->alttext ?></strong>
<br />
<?php echo $image->description ?>
</p>

Right below the image tag.

Which is fine. For my template, I also wanted the top of all captions to be at the same height, even though I don’t use cropping on my thumbnails so that images are different heights (by default, this will display the text right under your image). So, I also created a little css and put it in NextGen’s style sheet:

.ngg-gallery-imagewrap {
height:175px;
}

And then wrapped the image in a div with the class of ngg-gallery-imagewrap.

My final code looked like this:

<?php foreach ($images as $image) : ?>

</div>
</div>
<?php if ( $gallery->columns > 0 && ++$i % $gallery->columns == 0 ) { ?>
<br style="clear: both" />
<?php } ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>

And you can see the result here.
