Hello/Hi/Greetings,
I need to ALWAYS show the IPTC info on the picture page. I've got some viewers who have a hard time remembering to push the camera info button. If I can get the picture page to have the button pushed (into the show info status) as the default then my problem would be solved.
Thanks,
Terry

You mean the "Show Metadata" right?
Pretty sure this is a theme limitation. If you have basic smarty knowledge then you should be able to copy the "always visible meta data code" from another theme and paste it into this one.

OK. The next part of the problem then is, "Where can I acquire some 'basic smarty knowledge'? I ask because I'm assuming that 'smarty' isn't a reference to attitude. :-)
If require, I could look at changing themes if you can recommend one that defaults to showing the information.
Thanks,

Lol :-) Smarty is the templating system we use in Piwigo.
I would not start with that.
With plugin LocalFiles Editor, tab "local configuration", add this:
<?php $_SESSION['show_metadata'] = true; ?>
(not tested)

Thanks.
That's the sort of answer I was looking for but it does not work. I still have to click the camera icon on the picture page.
Cheers,
