Image Descriptions
#1
Hi, I was wondering if there is an easy way to add a line of description text under an image? I didn't find any plugin that would do it or any info in the wiki.

Thanks.

If you currently use jQuery on your website and you don't mind leaning on it for presenting image captions, something like the link below might be suitable. All you need to do is fill in the title field for images in the WYSIWYG editor and the CSS and JS from that link should sort you out.

Demo: http://jsbin.com/ipodut/4

Just click "Edit in JS Bin"to get the required CSS and JS.

I just checked the backend of GetSimple and realised the image "title" attribute isn't easily editable in WYSIWYG editor. I've tweaked the demo linked above to use the "alt" attribute instead since that's more readily editable. That said, it's a little more non-semantic now since the "alt" attribute shouldn't really be used in this way.

Also, the I18N Gallery plugin might be suitable for your requirements too (or it might be surplus).

Ok, thanks for the jQuery code Smile I'll check it out after I check out that Gallery plugin. I noticed that one in the plugins list but left it because I thought it was specifically for something like an image slide-show/gallery presentation.
