Introduction
This mod was designed to move the display the Media Description (title) and Notes (Media Information Description field) 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.
V8.1.1 of the mod was updated to honor line feeds in the Media Notes row.
V9.0.0.0 of the mod adds an IPTC Encoding row to show the character set encoding of the IPTC tags within the image. The Media Title row was dropped since TNG V9 moves the image title below the image.

- Extract the media-2_show_table.zip to your admin/mod_folder (V7) or mods (v8 and above).
- 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.
TNG V7 and V8
TNG version: | ≤ 8.1.3 |
TNG version: | ≥ 7.0 |
//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";
TNG V9
TNG version: | ≥ 9.0 |
//Show Table - Ken Roy's mod

$text['medianotes'] = "Notes de médias";
$text['iptclang'] = "Codage";
Or you can use the language mods in the summary in the upper right corner of this page to add Dutch, French or Spanish custom text additions. Procedure: download, unzip to TNG mods folder, install using Mod Manager. Note that these language mods work for TNG v9 (or higher) only!
