A client wants to put captions in the Description field of photos in the File Manager.

Then they want to add a photo to an entry using a field called {summary_photo} and display that photo with the metadata description on the site.

I haven’t been able to link the metadata in the File Manager with the entry and the channel tag or find any explanation in the forums on how to do it. So far I have tried quite a few versions of this:
```
{exp:channel:entries channel="news"}
<a href="http://path">{title}</a>

  {if summary_photo != ""}
  {exp:file:entries limit="1"}
  {summary_photo}
  {description}
  {/exp:file:entries}
  {/if}

{summary}
{/exp:channel:entries}
```
Any suggestions?
