    Here’s what I’ve got so far, one view of the media upload before the upload and another after it’s been uploaded. I’m hoping my users will either read the help file or not have the savvy to multi-select images. I’ll deal with that when it happens I think.

    My next project will be to integrate and zoomable full screen lightbox into the single media view, don’t suppose you have any tips on that?

    Thanks Brajesh, that was nice and simple, I’ve now got a prototype running, just need to get the visuals sorted.

    Speaking of which, have you noticed that the media uploader window – .mpp-dropzone is not high enough? it’s set to 165px on my system and that draws it right over the max file size display. on my system it needs to be 205px.

    Thanks Brajesh, I’ve put together a simple input form linked to js which reveals the form on upload complete, I’ve linked this to js submit function that calls an Ajax function which will add the title and description to the image. What I need to do now is write the function that will add this info to the gallery image. is there an mpp function I can use?

    Actually it looks like the problem is that descriptions added in the Admin Gallery editor are not being saved. I just added a description from the front end and could see it in the single image view.

    Actually I’ve been thinking about it and the UX I would like to create would be as follows:

    1. User clicks upload, and selects a file.
    2. File upload box is hidden.
    3. Image Title and Description boxes are revealed, for the user to complete.
    4. On completion, the image upload box is revealed again ready for the next upload.

    There’s a hook I could use to place the content, I wonder if it’s possible to write a suitable JS routine to handle the rest? Any suggestions?

    I’ve just added a description to an image, I then viewed it on the single image page and the lightbox view, neither showed the description. Think there’s an issue with the shortcodes with that maybe?

    If we can get the description displaying in the single media view, I think I’d like to use this as the anchor page for my own custom lightbox, one that allows a full page view and the ability to zoom. Many of these images are maps and they are to be studied.

    That would leave the question of how to get the descriptions added in the first place. How feasible is it to serve a bulk edit page covering only the images added immediately after the uploads?

    Yep I’m testing with the same file, via WP Media it gets the description, via mpp it does not.

    That’s strange, I wonder why that’s not happening for me?

    Hi Brajesh, yes I understand. For my requirement I am setting up a research site where users will upload photo’s showing particular aspects of their research and it’s very important that accompanying the photo is a description of some sort to put the photo into context.

    I think it’s ok that in the grid view you do not see those descriptions, however it would be better if every photo had title and this was displayed rather than the filename, which is often meaningless.

    Regarding the description, I’d like this to be displayed in the single media page/lightbox for the image. However that does not need to be the formal description, since that’s not currently being used. One option I was thinking of was to in some way force the user to add an opening comment for the image which would serve as a description, that way this would be displayed in the single media view as per the current functionality.

    If we are going to use the description, could this not be displayed in a similar way to the comments? Comments cn obviously be variable length so similar formatting issues have already been dealt with. I guess the other option is to impose limits on the length of the description, however in a research context this is less than ideal.
