    Hello,
    for years I used custom template with this code to show the album description. It stopped working. What code should I use?

    <?php 
  
 $my_gallery_id = $displayed_gallery->container_ids[0];  
 $my_result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM wp_ngg_gallery WHERE gid='".$my_gallery_id."' LIMIT 1");  
 $my_row = mysql_fetch_assoc($my_result);  
 if($my_row['galdesc'] != '') {  
      echo $my_row['galdesc'];
 };  
 ?>

    Hello!

    Would you mind sharing all this information in our bug support form?

    We might need to ask one of our developers about this particular code.

    Ok, but I’m just asking how to call the function for showing the album description.

    Because our displayed galleries can combine multiple albums together (container_ids=1,2,3) the $album variable will have information on the first album in the container_ids list (or the only album, if there’s only one entry in container_id) where $albums is an array of all the albums to show. Either way the $album / entries in the $albums array are just stdClass objects and they hold the albumdesc attribute

    Assuming you’re not combining multiple albums you could update your template to look like:

    if (!empty($album->albumdesc))
    echo $album->albumdesc;

    I wrote it wrong, but I thought the description in particular gallery.
    Will something like $gallery->galdesc work?
