Caption token on Single Image Pages

Hello again!

I'd like to put my photo caption on two lines.

Like doing this

{Title}"<br>" {Caption}

Thanks

can't be done, html won't work in the caption field. You can add a separator, like a bar | though.

Hum... a way with css?

rod barbee · 2020-01-21 07:44:51

no. That would take separating text with html elements, like a span with a class. But html added to the caption fields will just be output as regular text.

gosselin109 · 2020-01-21 07:50:19

Well, thanks.

last thinking !... if I don't use this caption field but add 2 separate lines below the image with css?

Not with css.
Would you be putting the same info below each image? if so, you might try jQuery.

Or maybe using the single_bottom hook in phplugins and adding the same text under each image

rod barbee · 2020-01-21 08:24:54

Actually, try looking the the phplugins-pangolin-sample.php file (found in the unzipped Backlight download: backlight/custom/phplugins

check out the function starting on line 546, which displays the file name and photo dimensions above the image. This looks like it might be the best option, modifying so that the info shows under the image.

You could try using single_bottom along with $photo->getMetadata(Photo::$PHOTO_CAPTION) : '';

Not tested, but maybe:

function single_bottom()
{
	if ($this->hasPhoto()) {
		echo '<p>';
		echo 'Caption: '.$this->photo->getMetadata(Photo::$PHOTO_CAPTION).'<br/>';
		echo 'Title: '.$this->photo->getMetadata(Photo::$PHOTO_TITLE);
		echo '</p>';
	}
	return true;
} // END /**/

if you want just the caption and title and not
Caption: this is the caption
Title: this is the title

then try removing 'Caption: '. from the caption line and 'Title: '. from the title line.

You might want to remove any tokens from the caption field in the template

OK. I will try that.

By the way, there is all what I want in the Metadata Display of thumbnail grid.
It may be something to be added to the large images. I think it was there in CE4. could we ask Mat?

test

You can do many things using single-page view. Have a look at https://danielleu.com/galleries/united_ … single.php

And some technical background infos: https://lab.danielleu.com/blog/customiz … page-view/ and https://lab.danielleu.com/blog/better-u … age-pages/.
