The description.

/me waits for the rim shot

It's that field in the Media profile just below the title
and stuff,  
a textarea.

HTH,

Yup, that's what is it is all right. 

I'm just having trouble getting get_description to return
the contents
of that field.
So should $desc = $media->get_description return the
contents as a
string or does it return an object reference?

it just returns a string.... the problem you're having
probably has to
do with $media not having what you expect in it.  Do you
just get
nothing, an error, or what?

That's what I thought. Now I have to find out why I'm not
getting the
description or an error.
