Sorry about that--got a little carried away. You are looking at the right place, but apparently you don't have a [edit description] link just to the right of the description (or where it would go) on your page.
Relevant lines in albums.php:
Line 164:
$desc = editField($gallery->album, "description", $edit);
Line 200:
$xoopsTpl->append('albums', array('image' => $image, 'owner_id' => $owner->uid, 'owner_name' => $owner->username, 'editlink' => $editlink, 'album_desc' => $desc, 'adminlink' => $adminlink, 'last_modified' => formatTimestamp($gallery->album->getLastModificationTime(), 'm'), 'num_photos' => $gallery->album->numPhotos(0), 'num_views' => $num_views, 'num_views_since' => $num_views_since, 'num_views_resetlink' => $num_views_resetlink, 'albumtree' => $album_tree));
Relevant line in xoopsgallery_index.html:
Line 26:
<td class="head"><{$lang_description}></td>
<td class="even"><{$album.album_desc}></td>
Note that as I drill down into the editField function there are checks in there for "can update album text"--if you have been changing permissions in XoopsGallery, I suppose you could have removed your rights from there. If the files look OK then check into that side (I only know it exists, I've never messed with the album permissions really).
