Add HTML link to image description

In some posts in this forum it says it can be done. But when I add a HTML link (like <a href="http://mydomain.com/page.htm">Click here</a>) to the image description - the HTML code shows up and is unclickable in the gallery. Can something like this be done?

can you send a link to your gallery please?

or at least, what gallery design are you using?

I'm using the grid_fullsize gallery design

Please see attached image

ok, on the galleries/grid_fullsize/index.php file, change line 74:

echo '<img alt="" title="' . $i . '##' . str_replace('"', '\"', $gallery['images'][$i]['title']) . '##' . str_replace('"', '\"', $gallery['images'][$i]['description']) . '"  src="' . $gallery['images'][$i]['thumb']['url'] . '" width="62" height="62" />';

to:

echo '<img alt="" title="' . $i . '##' . str_replace('"', '\"', html_entity_decode($gallery['images'][$i]['title'])) . '##' . str_replace('"', '\"', html_entity_decode($gallery['images'][$i]['description'])). '"  src="' . $gallery['images'][$i]['thumb']['url'] . '" width="62" height="62" />';

Thanks - this worked. Will this fix work for the other gallery designs too? If not, is it possible to post the code changes for those as well? Thanks in advance.

yes, it will work for other galleries, basically the change is to find the code that outputs the title:
$gallery['images'][$i]['title']

and add html_entity_decode() around it:
html_entity_decode($gallery['images'][$i]['title'])

Thanks a lot

you're welcome.

I am using the grid_lightbox mostly. I have figured out how to put this html link in the description. However, when the slide show thumbnails are viewed, I can't seem to get to click on the link. The description shows up but when the individual slides are shown, the description doesn't show up and I don't know how to make the description available for the link to be clicked on. What am I missing? Thanks.

can you post a link please.
