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)"
