Is it possible to put the Album's Description into the sidebar of both Album and Photo views?
Been messing with (themes > wind > views > sidebar.html.php) without success.

This module:

should do the trick

The "About this album" module would do this for albums. If you want this module to show on photo pages, rather than the companion module "About this photo", then it should only take a small modification to remove the test that the current page is an album page and not a photo page.

Thanks for the replies. So close - but not quite...
Photo view is pulling the photo's info, not the album's info.

Most people would prefer to have the photo info displayed on the photo page and not the album info. So you are a small edge case. You could develop a module or jigg the exsisting module to display the album info on the photo page.

Oh absolutely I realize this is not a 'normal' quest. In not so many words - this specific install is not for a traditional photo gallery. I will continue to try to follow the code to figure out where exactly I need to make this tweak. Thanks.
