Description text default

[edonai]

Hello the community,

I did a search on the forum but apart from how to hide or make the description field obligatory, I did not answer my question.

   
I want a default text is displayed if the user who upload the image does not enter a description.

Quiet simple. In member.php find:
$image_description = un_htmlspecialchars(trim($HTTP_POST_VARS['image_description']));
(there are two instances of this line, first is used when image being uploaded and second when a user save image info after edit)

Insert below:
  $image_description = ($image_description === "") ? addslashes("Your text here") : $image_description;

i put your code in the two instances, it's right??


EDIT :    
sorry, mistake on my part: I put accents in my text. It's works

Thanks V@no, you're great !

if you need to use apostrophes ( ' ), then you must escape them with a back slash: \'
I've updated the code above to automatically add slashes.

How to get the "cat_name" as description?

Thanks

  $image_description = ($image_description === "") ? addslashes($cat_cache[$cat_id]['cat_name']) : $image_description;
