On the Photo of the day admin page, item 5 one can select either –none–, photo name, description or owner.
Woud adding the option ‘name and description’ be sufficient? Or do you want something else?
Note: You can add the photo name into the description by adding ‘w#name’ in the description. This keyword will be replaced by the photo name.
Hi Jacob,
sorry for late reply.
That would be great 🙂 and it’s shown in the selected order?
– ‘name and description’
or
– ‘description and name’
with an CR in between?
Regarding your “Note” – no don’t know that, but here we are talking about the description of the photo and the name of the album. If that could be mixed, too with such placeholders – great than I can use that, of course. May be my question was not clear written, sorry for that. Could also be that you have an much more easier way for me – your idea is very welcome! Do you want to have an access to the webpage to see what I’ve done?
w#albumname in a photo description gives you the name of the album
You can insert newlines in two ways:
1. Enable html in descriptions (is the default) in Table IX-B1 and insert <br />
2. Do NOT enable html and type the newline char with the enter button and set Table IV-B11 to Linebreaks only

Hi Jacob,
I’m sorry about late reply to this thread.
and – yes, I tested your idea, it’s also a possibility, but than it’s shown also on every place where the photo is shown 🙁
Therefore I try to surf a bit in the code 🙂 and found this:
at: wppa-potd-widget.php
line: 177ff
case 'desc':
$widget_content .= "\n".'<div class="wppa-widget-text wppa-potd-text" style="'.$align.'">' . wppa_get_photo_desc( $id ).'</div>'
my idea – changed/added:
case 'desc':
$widget_content .= "\n".'<div class="wppa-widget-text wppa-potd-text" style="'.$align.'">' . wppa_get_photo_desc( $id ) . wppa_get_photo_name( $id ).'<br/>' . wppa_get_album_desc( $alb ) . wppa_get_album_name( $alb ) .'</div>'
I thought that’s an easy way which should work and give me the result I want to have 🙂 Ok changes are accepted – I add also a word, which was shown – but not the results of the both “get_album”-requests. It seems there are more entries needed that only these two “get” 🙁
Could you give me a hint in this direction? And yes, of course I know that after an update I have to change it again, but as I’m doing it by myself and no one else, it should be possible.
Thanks + BR Juergen
$alb only holds the album id if the counter is displayed, but its not complex:
$alb = wppa_get_photo_item( $id, 'album' );
So, change it to:
case 'desc':
$alb = wppa_get_photo_item( $id, 'album' );
$widget_content .= "\n".'<div class="wppa-widget-text wppa-potd-text" style="'.$align.'">' . wppa_get_photo_desc( $id ) . wppa_get_photo_name( $id ).'<br/>' . wppa_get_album_desc( $alb ) . wppa_get_album_name( $alb ) .'</div>'
Hi Jacob, 🙂 🙂
many thanks! You make my day 🙂 That’s exactly what I (we) want.
If you take a look at a.m. webpage ( with an PC – not mobile!) you can see it.
Thanks and best regards

if you now want to make a 4th selection with these case 😉 🙂 ……
if you now want to make a 4th selection with these case
Sure, I will add this selection option!
🙂 🙂
code from me looks like:
case 'desc':
$alb = wppa_get_photo_item( $id, 'album' );
$widget_content .= "\n".'<div class="wppa-widget-text wppa-potd-text" style="'.$align.'">' . wppa_get_photo_desc( $id ) . '<br/><b>'. wppa_get_album_desc( $alb ) .' - <i>'. wppa_get_album_name( $alb ) .'</i></b></div>';
break;
I think it would be good to have different div’s/style’s for these additional lines. Don’t know how you see these tasks? I’m a fan of code, which I can edit from outside with css-styles.
I suggest this code: ($alb is now defined earlier):
case 'extended':
$widget_content .=
'<div class="wppa-widget-text wppa-potd-text" style="'.$align.'">' .
'<span class="potd-pname" >' . wppa_get_photo_name( $id ) . '</span>' .
'<span class="pots-pdesc" >' . wppa_get_photo_desc( $id ) . '</span>' .
'<br />' .
'<span class="potd-adesc" >' . wppa_get_album_desc( $alb ) . '</span>' .
'<span class="potd-aname" >' . wppa_get_album_name( $alb ) . '</span>' .
'</div>';
break;
You can install this dev version when you download https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/wp-photo-album-plus.7.1.10.003.zip and follow these instructions:
https://wppa.nl/docs-by-subject/development-version/ to install this version instead of the latest development version.
Then set on the Photo of the day settings: 5 Subtitle: to Extended
Example custom css:
.potd-pname {
font-weight:bold;
}
.potd-pdesc {
}
.potd-aname {
font-style:italic;
}
.potd-adesc {
font-weight:bold;
}
.potd-adesc::before{
content: " - ";
}
🙂 🙂
Perfect, Jacob!
You are the greatest!
I was a little scared about deleting the plugin complete, what happened with all my settings – but ….. like you promised in your installation-guide, everything was working like a charme 🙂
I can only say – perfect!!!!
Again – many THANKS!
best regards
Juergen
