Hi All,

I have been doing some testing with Gallery 3 and it is just about perfect for my needs.

I was wondering if there is any way to show the filename, description and tags underneath the images when viewing an album. I have installed the displaytags plugin wich does display the tags when you click on an image but I would ideally like to show the metadata listed above actually underneath the images when viewing the album.

Is there a module or plugin that may do this?

Thanks greatly for any replies.

This is something that would happen at the theme level. I'm not familiar with all the possible themes, but if there isn't one that does what you want already it'd be reasonably easy to hack into your own new theme.

Most people want to remove the data and just have the picture.
Like @mattdm said, this would be done at the theme level or A module could be developed to put data under the thumbs but what if you have lots of data or a long description, to me that would be not clean.

Got a screenshot mockup of how it would look?

I think that if you added enough vertical space it wouldn't look too bad.

Install the info module.
replace the file below in that module. renaming it to info_theme.php

Thanks for the posts, the info mudule is close to what I am trying to achieve only that displays the info in the side box, the only key thing I would like to do is to display the filename beneath the photo in the gallery view.

Hopefully this image explains it,

Thanks again,

The modified info module will show more like you desired; display filename, description.
Now from your screen shot you just want the file-name.

If all you are after is to display the file name of the item there might be a better way:

Thanks for all the help, I eventually realised that if I resize the thumbnail then the title which is in the top left of the image is evident anyway and also looks kind of nice!
