Hi,
Is there a way to have a Short Album description that is shown on each album's listing in albums.php, but then have a longer Album Text that would only be shown when you click on an album? for instance:

Album1 is listed on the main page with a desciption "these are my pictures"

When you enter Album1, you now see a longer description in paragraph form, "These are pictures that I have taken in my travels around the world, from Boston to Prague"

The longer description would screw up my formatting in a listing of subalbums, but it's nicer to have a longer description when you are actually viewing the ablum

Thanks, love Zenphoto so far.

There are two approaches to this. You can truncate the long image for your main page descriptions with the function my_truncate_string() or you can use the custom data filed to store the shortened descriptions. In either case you have to modify the theme to emit the shortened descriptions.

awesome... custom data field should do exactly what I want it to do..

Thanks!
