From TNG Wiki

Introduction

This mod was designed to move the display the Media Description and Notes to the table below the image.

This mod applies to TNG 7.0 and above. The mod will work with TNG version 6, but the line numbers will be different.

Developer

Ken Roy developed this mod.

Advantages

This mod

• moves the Notes and Description normally displayed before the image to the table below the image
• provides a standard way of displaying information about the image
• repeats the media header as Media Title in the table

Requirements

• A backup of the TNG showmedia.php, showmedialib.php, and showmediaxml.php files
• An installed current version of the Mod Manager

Automated Install

1. Download the appropriate distribution for your TNG version from the download links in the status area in the upper right.
2. Extract the media-2_show_table.zip to your admin/mod_folder (V7) or mods (v8).
3. Follow the normal automated installation for Mod Manager, as shown in the example Mod Manager - Installing Config Files to install the media-2_show_table.cfg.

Note that the media-2_show_table_v1.0.cfg file is part of a series of media display mods where the n in media-n designates the install order of the mods. In TNG V7, if you use Bret Rumsey's Image Viewer it must be installed before this mod.

Custom Text Additions

Note that config file only includes the English language changes, so if you support multiple languages you will need to modify the config file to add the custom text for those other languages.

The following custom text will be added to your English/cust_text.php file by this mod. If you are using other languages, you must add these lines to each of your language cust_text.php files with appropriate translations of course.

//Show Table - Ken Roy's mod
$text['mediatitle'] = "Media Title";
$text['medianotes'] = "Media Notes";

For example, you would add to the French/cust_text.php

//Show Table - Ken Roy's mod
$text['mediatitle'] = "Titre de médias";
$text['medianotes'] = "Notes de médias";

Visual of Mod

Without this mod, the Media Description shows before the image as shown in the image on the right.

With the ShowTable Mod, the Media Description is shown in the table below the image as shown in the image on the right. Notice that the Media Title is also repeated in the table.
