search-friendly image galleries
DESCRIPTION
This talk was given at Joomla World Conference, 2012 in San Jose, CA. Most image galleries are not indexible. This system is the best one I have been able to patch together for my right-brained artist and freelance clients, to offer them a search-friendly, update-friendly image gallery.TRANSCRIPT

HACK TO ENABLE PAYPAL BUTTONSThis XML hack prevents Phoca Gallery from stripping code from a shopping cart button form tag
In this xml file:
administrator\components\com_phocagallery\models\forms\phocagalleryimg.xml
Change from:
<field name="description" type="editor" buttons="true" hide="pagebreak,readmore" class="inputbox" label="COM_PHOCAGALLERY_FIELD_DESCRIPTION_LABEL" filter="safehtml" description="COM_PHOCAGALLERY_FIELD_DESCRIPTION_DESC" />
To:
<field name="description" type="editor" buttons="true" hide="pagebreak,readmore" class="inputbox" label="COM_PHOCAGALLERY_FIELD_DESCRIPTION_LABEL" filter="raw" description="COM_PHOCAGALLERY_FIELD_DESCRIPTION_DESC" />
IF you want html in the category items, go to the Phoca Gallery Component options, find Display Image Description in Box (Category View Settings - List of images) and change to "Yes (HTML)"
