I've used EasyImageCaption on several J1.5 sites. Does exactly what I need. Excellent plugin! I'm now starting to migrate these site to J2.5. Delighted to see EasyImageCaption coming out with updates for J1.6 and 1.7.

Any idea how long before a J2.5 version might be available?

Is anyone using Easy Image Caption with the Smart Resizer plugin? Just wondering if there's some incompatibility, having two plugins both acting on images?

To answer my own question above, this problem only occurred in my localhost development environment (MAMP). Easy Image Caption works fine with Smart Resizer.

@John Tennock: I am using J2.5, EIC is compatible with it, as far as I can tell.

Brilliant extension - it works like a dream if you set it up right (which I did second time round after I got round to reading installation and set up instructions). Its working fine for me with JCE in Joomla 2.5

Hi,

I set "Do not apply to images narrower than" to 150 and images that are 125px wide keep showing caption. What am I missing?

Thank you!!!

[straetch]

I notice that the issue I flagged with float styles is corrected with the recent new version. Thanks!
Is it possible to mention the release of new versions on this forum?
Can you indicate the version number somewhere on the plug-in management page?
A suggestion: move the forum to Extensions for Joomla! 2.5. Newer users will not look for the plug-in on a Joomla! 1.5 forum.

A loyal user.

@jenna23: I can't see a problem here. Which Joomla version and which EasyImageCaption version are you using? Can you show me the problem on a live website?

@straetch: As you can see, I am not looking into this thread frequently, so I'm a bit afraid of moving it to the 2.5 section - expecting way to many requests . You will probably get better support by sending your requests via e-mail through my website. But thank you for being a loyal user anyway.

I'll try to remember announcing updates in this tread. Actually on Joomla 1.6+ you should get notified of updates in the admin area (Extension Manager). However in my test environment I have some problems with the update feature in Joomla 2.5, while it seems to work in 1.6 and 1.7.

You can find version numbers for all your extensions under "Extension Manager > Manage".

@djdrum:
Sorry for not answering earlier. It's been a while since I visited the forum. Unfortunately EasyImageCaption does not work for images with % widths. I once tried to implement this, but experienced too many problems. Sorry.

[censored]!

perhaps, there is a posibility to find a solution together?

[Treverer]

@LearningByDoing

me again

with few suggestions, wich solve my problems with the "%" propertie

it's not easy for me in english, but i will try:

in the function getWidth i "rescued" the parameter '%' or 'px' to store it into $this->width

in the function generateCaptions i check for "%" and change $e_complete->outertext

if (substr($this->width, -1)=='%'){
$e_complete->outertext=str_replace($this->width,'100%', $e_complete->outertext);;
}

so i get, what i needed (perhaps only for my template & css), but perhaps it could help you, to integrate a solution for everybody... or perhaps there would be problems, i do not see now...

[rflsantana]

I would like to thank the developers for this plugin!

Guys, I'm using the plugin Hoverbox JoomlaBambooo
http://www.joomlabamboo.com/joomla-extensions/hoverbox

But I could not create the captions for the images.

Any suggestions for the EasyImageCaptions work properly with the hoverbox?

Hi,

in Joomla 1.5 I was using the plugin Easyimagecaption together with the extension Form2Content light. To make them collaborate, I had to do the following adjustment to the html code of images in Form2Content articles:

<img src="images/.../14.JPG" title=""<p" />CAPTION"/>

Now I have my Joomla 1.5 installation migrated to Joomla 2.5. I have also the latest version of the plugin Easyimagecaption installed, with the same configuration as in J15. Nevertheless, there are no captions anymore in my articles.

The html code of images has been correctly migrated:

<img src="http://mydomain.com/images/.../14.JPG" title=""<p" />CAPTION"/>

The only difference is that now the domain is included in the code.

Meanwhile I have found a manual way to include the captions again. But it would be much work to do it for several hundred articles.

Is it possible to configure the plugin in a way that I can get the captions back?

Thank you in advance for any advice.

I have installed this plugin and tested it with a sample image but bizarrely I have the ALT tag displaying twice. I checked the actual markup by toggling the editor (JCE) and there's only one instance of the code within the article.

[peaceandlove]

I had installed it , its works fine but I want to display custom text like 'Click to enlarge picture' as a text. How can i change it.

[ronaloka]

Hi -- great plug-in, very easy! But I'm wondering if it is possible to place a hyperlink within the caption itself? I don't mean linking the image, but linking all or part of the caption text. I've tried everything I can think of! If so, could you kindly tell me how? Thanks! ~ Rona

@ronaloka:
Have a look at the green formatting table on this page: http://joomla.roemer-online.org/parameters.php. You will have to enable "Parse tags" in the plugin parameters to get it working.

[gumibear]

Hi,

Thanks for this plugin.

I have a large website with articles that have alt tags automatically created with the filename of the photo.
For this reason, I want to exclude a large range of older article ids and just have the plugin work with new articles moving forward.
is there any way to easily do this?

Thanks.

Hallo I am using EasyImageCapiton but it is not working. After checking the forum I did not find a thread about the problem occurring on my application.
I am using Joomla 2.5 offline on xampp, since I am establishing a page. The picture, that I introduces in an article. Unfortunately by clicking on the preview of the frontend will not enlarge. Has anyone an idea about a solution.
Thanks

Just an FYI for this great plug-in. It installs and works fine in Joomla 3.0.3.

Thanks, you gave me incentive to try it on Joomla! 3.2.3. Working fine so far.

Hi.

I'm having problems in that the captions are distorting my images on my mobile site. I've tried to no-display for mobile, but it doesn't seem to work.

[davindersangha]

Any news on this. I've left it on to allow people to see, but it's likely I have to disable now, as the site looks untidy.

[phidias81]

If you are inserting your images through a common editor like JCE, I suggest you set the margins for the current image in the corresponding inserting dialog. These image margins will be preserved when "captionizing" the image.
(

I've just installed on joomla 3.3 and it's working fine, except that now the margin is used in between th eimage and the caption instead of after the caption, while on J2.5 was ok. So basically the statement above is not tru on J3.3. How to solve this problem?

[phidias81]

I rebuilt completely my website, and now I get another problem. Basically if I activate easyimagecaption, the text flow is messed up. After investigating CSS with firebug, I think it has something to do with

Code: Select all

display:inline-block

that is added to the classes

Code: Select all

.easy_img_caption

and

Code: Select all

.easy_img_caption_innert

. If I change it to "initial" through css, then the images are going back to the correct position, but the captions are floating around. Anybody has the same problem or knows the solution?
Any alternative caption extension using ALT tag, or a way to convert to another system? thank you!

@phidias81
I am using this plugin on a 3.3.6 install and do not experience those problems. So I think it must be related to your template or to other plugins that interfere with this one.

If you are looking for an alternative plugin that turns alt text to caption, you might want to have a look at http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions ... mages/9346

[phidias81]

Thank you for your answer! I eventually posted the solution, but maybe in another post because I don't see it here. It was a conflict with a setting of Mavik tumbnails!

Hi, I am using this plugin in my Joomla 3.3.6 website and is working perfect, But when I used caption the images are NOT responsive, where as, if there is no caption the images are responsive.

Is it that I forgot to do some setting?

Thanks

[gbrs2]

The plugin wraps images in a <span class="easy_img_caption"> tag and adds a style attribute to the span with a width that corresponds to the image width.
In the plugin settings -> Caption Styling you can switch Internal Styling to Off. Then the width won't be added to the span.
Now you can use CSS to make the span responsive with something like:

Code: Select all

.easy_img_caption {
display: inline-block;
max-width: 100%;
height: auto;
}

Your img tags should also have max-width set to 100% and height auto.

Use Firebug or native FF or Chrome Developer Tools to see what is going on in the html and adjust your CSS accordingly.

Hi gbrs2,

Thank you so much, the above css code you gave me correct everything. Now it is perfectly responsive. I really appreciate your help.

Thanks
Siam

Glad I could help :-)
