Title: rogue descriptions Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # rogue descriptions * Resolved [karidemi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/karidemi/) * (@karidemi) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rogue-descriptions/) * First off, let me just say how completely awesome this plugin and its developers are for being so helpful and responsive to requests. * But, of course, now I have a problem 🙂 * I have successfully used the three new filters to manage the output of the plugin and everything is working as expected, except for the descriptions. They are appearing outside of the HTML I am rendering (a table) and I don’t see a specific tag for rendering them the documentation. Is there a %desc% or something I should be using? * Thanks again! * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/document-gallery/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/document-gallery/) Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) * Plugin Author [Dan Rossiter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/danrossiter/) * (@danrossiter) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rogue-descriptions/#post-5347984) * Rats! You’re absolutely right. I did not think about that. * I’ll work on getting a patch out to address that issue either late today or tomorrow. * Thanks for pointing that out! -Dan * Plugin Author [Dan Rossiter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/danrossiter/) * (@danrossiter) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rogue-descriptions/#post-5348019) * Hi karidemi, * I don’t have time to test this solution this minute, but if you you want to try replacing `toString()` in `inc/class-document.php` with the following, I *think* it will give you what you want. * -Dan * ``` public function __toString() { static $find = null; if (is_null($find)) { $find = array("%link%", "%img%", "%title_attribute%", "%title%", "%description%"); } $thumb = $this->gallery->useFancyThumbs() ? DG_Thumber::getThumbnail($this->ID) : DG_Thumber::getDefaultThumbnail($this->ID); $repl = array($this->link, $thumb, $this->title_attribute, $this->title, $this->description); $doc_icon = apply_filters( 'dg_icon_template', '
' . PHP_EOL . ' %title_attribute%
%title%' . PHP_EOL . ($this->gallery->useDescriptions() ? "

%description%

" . PHP_EOL : '') . '
' . PHP_EOL, $this->gallery->useDescriptions(), $this->ID); $core = str_replace($find, $repl, $doc_icon); // users may filter icon here return apply_filters('dg_doc_icon', $core, $this->ID, $this->gallery->useDescriptions()); } ``` * Thread Starter [karidemi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/karidemi/) * (@karidemi) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rogue-descriptions/#post-5348130) * Worked like a charm. Thanks! * Thread Starter [karidemi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/karidemi/) * (@karidemi) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rogue-descriptions/#post-5348132) * Ok, one last thing… I hope! * Now, I am trying to have the galleries with descriptions render differently than those without. To do that I’m passing in an argument to my filter function : dg_gallery_template_func($desc) and then using an if/else to see if $desc is true or not. However, it appears to always return true, regardless of if I actually have descriptions turned on. \ * I did a test and when I return the value of $desc, it returns the whole gallery instead of the bool value, like I would have assumed. * Am I doing this correctly? * -Karissa * Plugin Author [Dan Rossiter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/danrossiter/) * (@danrossiter) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rogue-descriptions/#post-5348142) * Glad that tweak for the descriptions worked! I’ll have it in the next official release sometime soon 🙂 * With the filtering function, you’ll want to accept two parameters. The first value will be, as you discovered, the gallery as it is generated (the value being filtered). The second parameter will receive the boolean you are looking for. * Let me know if that works for you! -Dan * Plugin Author [Dan Rossiter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/danrossiter/) * (@danrossiter) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rogue-descriptions/#post-5348156) * Sorry, I lied about 2 parameters. It’s actually 3. The first is the default icon template, the second is the attachment ID, and the third is the boolean value you’re looking for. * For the other two filters, it is just the 3. * -Dan * Thread Starter [karidemi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/karidemi/) * (@karidemi) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rogue-descriptions/#post-5348167) * Thanks, Dan.
