I will be adding support for positioning to GThumb+ module fork. This way some metadata would be part of the thumb overlay
Next step would be to try and replicate some of the behavior from G3.
Please note that some themes already supporting it out of the box – ex: Stripped – and is worth exploring

I’m using show metadata to get the caption to show and it ends up at the list of metadata, not above or below the photo as I would like it and as G3 did it. It’s a Piwigo thing not a Gray Dragon issue.

I can send a screen capture or look at my site and look at an individual photo, although most don’t have captions, so it might be easier if I post a screen capture: http://knobby.ws//toShare/Screen%20Shot%202014-08-12%20at%209.29.45%20AM.png
The caption is at the lower right.

All lowercase is fixed. Thanks

not sure I follow

Edit: see my comment on the latest build. it may help

Placements of captions are part of the theme. Various themes would handle it differently. And if you decide to make your own theme then you can add elements anywhere you want.
I just finished first round of customization for GThumb+ plugin and would probably make thumb layout generation as part of it rather than make it part of the theme.

Yes, some menu choices are odd, but there were few questions lately asking if admin area can be improved.
From what I can see, it is easily done. And as I am working on my theme, I am working on new styles for admin area.

In latest GD making caption lowercase is optional now and you can prevent it from happening.

I haven’t up my mind about Piwigo. The admin menu organization in inscrutable. And seemingly obvious things aren’t easily done, such as showing the Caption below the photo—you have to show all the metadata. URLs are odd. No theme options.

I think much of this can be accomplished but I know nothing of Smarty and little of PHP which would be required. With Menalto Gallery I used to be able to insert some PHP code in without to much difficulty to make changes.

Serge GD is changing my captions to all lowercase. Is that intended?

All of this said, Piwigo had many good features—good looking, arrow keys are supported, mobile looks good and works well.

Sorry, forgot to include the link – http://blog.dragonsoft.us/downloads/17

Where can I download this theme?

Thanks!

If I am not mistaken, you need to save settings at least once
if error persist I would advise to post question on the forum
