How to put NEXTGEN gallery description into PrettyPhoto jquery plugin in description or instead of social_tools

Question

how's it going? So i have this issue, that I can't figure out.

I use Wordpress, i got a NextGen gallery there (newest by date 2012-01-11) and PrettyPhoto jquery plugin (also newest by date 2012-01-11), i got both working perfectly, but i need to see each NextGen gallery description below every image that is opened using PrettyPhoto plugin.

$gallery holds all things we need, but it is in NextGen folder and I can't figure out how to pull it out, except for writing mysql SELECT and pull everything from the database, then again, don't know how to do a proper loop here.

Here's the link: http://sinergijait.lt/alex/hittoak/photo-gallery/

Here's the prettyphoto script i use in header.php:

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
$(document).ready(function(){
        $("a[rel^='prettyPhoto']").prettyPhoto({
            animation_speed: 'fast', /* fast/slow/normal */
            slideshow: 5000, /* false OR interval time in ms */
            autoplay_slideshow: false, /* true/false */
            opacity: 0.80, /* Value between 0 and 1 */
            show_title: true, /* true/false */
            allow_resize: true, /* Resize the photos bigger than viewport. true/false */
            default_width: 500,
            default_height: 344,
            counter_separator_label: '/', /* The separator for the gallery counter 1 "of" 2 */
            theme: 'pp_default', /* light_rounded / dark_rounded / light_square / dark_square / facebook */
            horizontal_padding: 20, /* The padding on each side of the picture */
            hideflash: false, /* Hides all the flash object on a page, set to TRUE if flash appears over prettyPhoto */
            wmode: 'opaque', /* Set the flash wmode attribute */
            autoplay: true, /* Automatically start videos: True/False */
            modal: false, /* If set to true, only the close button will close the window */
            deeplinking: true, /* Allow prettyPhoto to update the url to enable deeplinking. */
            overlay_gallery: true, /* If set to true, a gallery will overlay the fullscreen image on mouse over */
            keyboard_shortcuts: true, /* Set to false if you open forms inside prettyPhoto */
            changepicturecallback: function(){}, /* Called everytime an item is shown/changed */
            callback: function(){}, /* Called when prettyPhoto is closed */
            ie6_fallback: true,

        });
    });
</script>

You can see it in the prettyPhoto, the place where by default is social_tools block:

social_tools: '<div class="pp_social"><div class="need_gallery_desc_here" style="color:black"><?php echo 'need_gallery_desc_here' ?></div></div>'

So basically i need to pull description (which is 'galdesc' column in the database) out of $gallery or out of the database itself (don't know if the first one possible) AND create a loop that would show gallery's description on every prettyPhoto image of that gallery.

I hope it didn't sound too complicated. Thank you in advance.

Best regards, Alex.

Answer 1

To put descriptions to your image use title attribute.

<ul class="gallery clearfix">
<li><a href="images/fullscreen/1.JPG?lol=lol" rel="prettyPhoto[gallery1]" title="You can add caption to pictures. You can add caption to pictures. You can add caption to pictures."><img src="images/thumbnails/t_1.jpg" width="60" height="60" alt="Red round shape" /></a>
</li>
</ul>

Or you could personalize your descriptions you data-desc attribute for example.

<a href="" rel="fotos[galeria]" data-desc="Description">Examinar en Mapa</a>

Then in pretty photo source you have to change this line

pp_descriptions = (isSet) ? jQuery.map(matchedObjects, function(n, i){   if($(n).attr(settings.hook).indexOf(theRel) != -1) return ($(n).attr('data-desc')) ? $(n).attr('data-desc') : ""; }) : $.makeArray($(this).attr('data-desc'));

Hope this helps
