I’m moving to WP for the new layout of my website (at the moment I’m running it just on my local machine).

I was looking for a solution to get captions on NextGen Slideshows and this could be it!

Your explanation is really easy to follow and clear, I’m just missing one point(due to my lack of knowledge on html, js and css):

what is the correct syntax for a link to a file on a local hard drive?

I have been trying this (it is the first link in the highslide.css file)

‘a.highslide-full-expand {
background: ‘file:///D:/WP/apps/wordpress/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/highslide/graphics/fullexpand.gif’ no-repeat;
‘
and tried also ‘background: url(D:/WP/apps/wordpress/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/highslide/graphics/fullexpand.gif)’

with no success. It looks like nextgen doesn’t change anything.

I was also wondering what would be the correct syntax in header.php I am using this: href=”D:/WP/apps/wordpress/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/highslide/highslide.css”

Sorry for these pretty dumb questions and thank you!

Can i send you the files somehow or post you the source, if thats not possible then ill wait until i got the webspace and show the page to you .

thanks

when i try to open my galleries, i dont get past the loading icon.

i updated all links in imo, firebug says the get function
“get dropshadow.png” isnt working => link is bad.

i tried to find this link in all the highslide files and i just cant find it.

Hope it makes sense what I’m trying to say Try to right click the page and select View Source and the find your images, there you will find title, alt, and other tag properties with info from NextGen, only that info can be shown in Highslide.

Basically I see a lot of meta information in NextGen that is not leveraged by Highslide.

Images have:
- Image alt & title text
- Image description
- Image tags
- Gallery title
- Gallery description

So far I only see the first one displayed in the gallery.

I’d like to show the Gallery title above the image in bold, followed by the Gallery description. Under the image would be Title in bold, followed by description (non-bold) and then show the tags (preceded by “Tags: string)…

I initially assumed I will get this from making changes to NextGEN. But with your latest suggestion, I think the rest may be done through Highslide (using the Highslide Editor… need to investigate that tool more).

Additionally, I would like to have the tags (set in NextGEN) hyperlinked that would lead to galleries of images would that tag (or even a WP page with a listing of them…). Do you think that would be possible?

Also, I would rather have Image Alt value and Image Title value not be the same. W3C is pretty explicit how these serve different purposes (Alt is a description for people that cannot see the image, where Title is more like a short caption providing additional information – reason browsers display Alt if the image is not display and Title in a tooltip if hovering over image). But that’s another story….
