sorry bit didnt understand. too complicated for me

saqibbrothers

on line 307 in file, i can see
function getBareGalleryDesc() {
what i have to do anything else now

You have to add that function to your theme's index.php to see the gallery description. It's actually this one: http://www.zenphoto.org/documentation/functions/_template-functions.php.html#functionprintGalleryDesc

I check index file of DEFAULT theme folder but there is no line no. 314 as mentioned in http://www.zenphoto.org/documentation/functions/_template-functions.php.html#functionprintGalleryDesc

I just tried to put the code mentioned in above URL on line 314 in file template-functions.php located in zp-core folder but it makes my website blanked!

Well, because it is completly wrong. That is the documentation and the line refers to the place where the function is located not where to use it.

I strongly recommend to read our theming tutorial on http://www.zenphoto.org/2009/03/theming-tutorial/ and learn a few php/html basics.

if i were know about basic php or html why should I use this software??
Well, you don't have to if you are fine with the setup of the premade themes available. But customizings always require some more knowledge. To add the gallery description is simply not implemented in the standard themes as are much other things are also not.

Zenphoto is a gallery content management system for gallery websites.. Not a everything is possible to work-out-of-the-box, much extra and additional functionality always requires theme modifications.

You have to put `<?php printGalleryDesc(); ?>` on your theme's index.php where you want the description to appear.

is it possible to make GALLERY TITLE in bold??

Here we are again with basic html/css/php knowledge. So you have to edit either your theme page or your theme's css file.

and what about those who dont know basic but wish to do?

The net is full of places to learn the basics of webdesign techniques like this http://www.w3schools.com/. This forum is surely not the place for that which we explicity state on our forum rules.
