description textfield for the main index page

john doe

hi,

first of all i'm actually in the decision phase for my portfolio; "wordpress gallery" vs. "zen photo".
i would love to go with zen photo since wordpress is fully loaded with uneccesary features and functions which i never need.

there is now only one basic and essential thing i miss, a description/introduction text field on the index page same like the description boxes for the albums.

is there somewhere a plugin or a hack around to shizzle the dizzle?

thanks in advance

ps: awesome job on the thumbnail monochrome filter. ( http://www.zenphoto.org/support/topic.php?id=5243#post-30646 )

There is a gallery description feature. That feature is used by the Effervescence+ and Stopdesing themes. They use `printGalleryDesc()`, but there are varients on the function.

A good suggestion for questions like this. Visit http://www.zenphoto.org/documentation/elementindex.html and do a search on what you wish to do. In this case I looked for instances of `description`. Once you are more familiar with Zenphoto terms you can refine the search. `gallery description` would have got you very close.

Just to add an alternative: It is also possible to call an unpublished Zenpage page's content as an gallery description (or where else wished).

the alternative sounds good to me, just before i start my experiment with code snippets... is this alternative a template dependent thing or a "copy & paste & go" solution?

In any case you will have to add a function to the theme page in question. The Zenpage page variant of course requires the Zenpage plugin.
