I have the thumbnail at site.com/events but im trying to get the title from the page at site.com/events/event01..what do I put in <img src="" alt="" /> so it says alt="event01" instead of "Events" when its on site.com/events?
Use getField snippet in the custom galleryPictureTpl to get the page title from the gallery document. The id of the gallery document can be retrieved through [+maxigallery.picture.gal_id+] placeholder.
"He can have a lollipop any time he wants to. That's what it means to be a programmer."
First try if [+maxigallery.pageinfo.pagetitle+] in galleryPictureTpl gives the correct title.. if not, then yes, use the package you linked to and call it like: [[getField? &docid=`[+maxigallery.picture.gal_id+]` &field=`pagetitle`]] in maxigallery galleryPictureTpl template.
