You would need to create a copy of the theme and customize it yourself. Then edit views/album.html.php to add the items description in the for each loop.

If it helps here is a quick module that will take the first 100 characters of the album/photo description and put it under the thumbnail for that album/photo. Feel free to modify it.

floridave is correct, there is no way to show the description without modifying the theme. The only problem is that if you modify the theme you will need to manually change it again if the theme updates.

kaniea,
Care to add your module to the codex? I can help with that if you need. I did not know it exists. Just use your forums username/password to the codex and you should be good to go.

thanks kaniea

I have added it, and it's just what I need, now I just need to work out how to get it to be on the gallery all the time and not just when you rollover the thumbnail.

I'm glad it helped.

Dave, I'll try and get it posted onto the codex sometime this week. I've never posted anything before but I assume it isn't that challenging.
