Hi all,
how is it possible to implement captions in Flickity slideshow?
The option is available in the designer but does not appear.
Best regards,

The captions controls are present without context, and do not apply to all presentation types. The Flickity Filmstrip does not display captions.

Hi Matt,
I know but it seems to be possible to show captions in the Flickity Filmstrip: see -> https://codepen.io/desandro/pen/dPdVNM
I payed around with it but without success.
Maybe you could help :-)
Thx in advance.
Best regards,

It's possible to do lots of things with Flickity. But I redesigned our implementation into a filmstrip-like presentation, with an option to group images. So if there are three images in the displayed group, then how are we supposed to implement captions?
If you want to do one-by-one images with captions, then Vegas slideshow is the more appropriate choice.

I see, but as the Flickity Filmstrip is swipeable it is my favorite slideshow and it would be great to at least have the oportunity to show the captions.
Here is a nice example of how it looks with captions which are linked to the project:

I would be happy if something useful like this could be realized ;-)

But look at that same page at an iPhone display size, and you will see that it's not the littlest bit responsive. One of the reasons I redesigned the presentation and nixed captions was to ensure responsive behavior. I was only able to do this with Flickity, ensuring each item properly scaled, by targeting the images directly. Attempts to target wrapping HTML -- such as a container that might include both an image and caption -- never worked to my satisfaction, resulting in images piling up or other undesirable behavior. I think because Flickity doesn't like slides not having a fixed width.
I have reasons for not supporting captions here, and it's not because I didn't try.
