Extended Description

Multilanguage descriptions

Multilanguage descriptions are placed between [lang=xx] and [/lang] tags, where xx is the language code (for example en, es, fr). There is also 2 special languages : [lang=default] and [lang=all]

• Example:
  
  [lang=default] default description [/lang]
[lang=en] description in english [/lang]
[lang=de] deutsche Beschreibung [/lang]

The default description will be used if the description is not available in the connected user selected language. If [lang=default] does not exists, anything outside the [lang] tags will be considered as the default description.

Special language all: anything inside [lang=all] will be included in the description, anywhat the connected user defined language is. This is mainly useful to include HTML/JavaScript code inside a description.

Extended descriptions

Extended description tags make it possible to have a short description for the album outside the album, a longer description for the album inside the album page, or even 2 distinct descriptions inside the album page.
