[Plugin: NextGEN Gallery ColorBoxer] Show Image Name–necessary!

Hi dwdallam,

ColorBox uses NextGEN Gallery’s “Description” field (under Gallery –> Manage Gallery) for the title text displayed in the lightbox, whereas NextGEN automatically fills the “Alt/Title” field with the filename when uploading images.

I think I may be able to create an option (in a future version) where you can choose to use one or the other (or at least fall-back on the “Alt/Title” field when “Description” is empty), but it sounds like the quickest solution for you right now would be to copy and paste each image’s “Alt/Title” to it’s corresponding “Description” field.

Hope this helps!
Mark.

I found another plugin exactly like yours called “jQuery Colorbox” by Arne Franken that works with the WordPress built in gallery’s (dis)function lol and with nexgen. It defaults to having the title of the image in the bottom area of the full sized image pop-over.

Everything looks pretty much the same, except Arne’s has a few more options, one of which is to use his plugin with or without Nexgen or even other plugins–option “all images”.

Thanks for the reply.
