I'm enjoying working with this script on my website: http://www.rashadface.com I had an idea for a module that would add some text on a thumbnail image that someone might use on a forum. I suppose it would be a separate thumbnail setup from the current one to avoid affecting the thumbnails in Album View. Basically, if someone hotlinks a thumbnail using the BBCode on your website, like this: There would be text (or a bar with text) on the bottom of the image that says "Click to Enlarge". Maybe have an option to also include the name of your website as a bar with text on the top of the image as well. Overall, the image would look like this: _________________________ Except, you know, centered. And nice looking! Thanks for reading! |

Im sure that the http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery3:Modules:embedlinks could be expanded to add the test you want.

I was actually trying to come up with a way to work the text into the embedlinks module, but there is no line break in BBCode (in other words, no equivalent to < br > tags in html.
Otherwise, i was thinking more along the lines of using ImageMagick or GD to superimpose the text on the top/bottom of a thumbnail (which would mean a separate thumbnail created specifically for this purpose, otherwise it will mess up the album thumbs on the website).

Sure bbcode has line breaks:
Example Usage:
This is a[ br][/br]forced line breakremove the space between the br and the [
