Adding Alt or Title text to Fancybox

Hi

I posted this in the main how to and troubleshooting forum but got not answer so thought I’d come ask the main man himself.

I’m using lightbox as a gallery. It’s customised a bit so when you click on a thumbnail, it opens Fancybox and you can scroll through the images in the gallery.

It was done using this tutorial

http://www.bentedder.com/nextgen-gallery-load-lightbox-gallery-from-one-image/

And this is the code from it

<?php
/**
Template Page for the gallery overview

Follow variables are useable :

    $gallery     : Contain all about the gallery
    $images      : Contain all images, path, title
    $pagination  : Contain the pagination content

 You can check the content when you insert the tag <?php var_dump($variable) ?>
 If you would like to show the timestamp of the image ,you can use <?php echo $exif['created_timestamp'] ?>
**/
?>
<?php if (!defined ('ABSPATH')) die ('No direct access allowed'); ?>
<?php if (!empty ($gallery)) : ?>

<?php $i=1; ?>

<div class="gallery-holder gal<?php echo $gallery->ID; ?>">
<?php foreach ($images as $image) : ?>

    <?php if ($i < 2) : ?>
        <div style="display:none;">
            <img src="<?php echo $image->imageURL ?>" />
        </div>
        <a href="<?php echo $image->imageURL ?>" <?php echo $image->thumbcode ?> title="<?php echo $gallery->title ?>">
            <img src="<?php echo $image->thumbnailURL ?>" /></a>
    <?php else : ?>
        <a style="display:none" href="<?php echo $image->imageURL ?>" <?php echo $image->thumbcode ?>>link</a>
<?php endif; $i++; ?>

<?php endforeach; ?>
</div>

If I change out the line

<a href="<?php echo $image->imageURL ?>" <?php echo $image->thumbcode ?> title="<?php echo $gallery->title ?>">

for

<a href="<?php echo $image->imageURL ?>" title="<?php echo $image->alttext ?>" <?php echo $image->thumbcode ?> >

But then it only displays the alt text/title for the first image in the gallery. I guess it needs some sort of loop to make it work for every image but my PHP knowledge is very limited.

Got any ideas?

Thanks

Josh
