phpwcms Support Forum

Is there a way to add additional comment/captions under the lightbox? In the bottom frame once the image has popped up?

I have used the image content part and assigned all the captions for the thumbnails themselves. When I click the image and a the lightbox displays, I would like to add some more information under the pic without it showing up on the main content part display.

Any thoughts?

At this time only GALLERYX can solve your problem.
Or you can use the cp image <div> and write a very spezial cp trigger script. -> http://forum.phpwcms.org/viewtopic.php?p=107107#p107107

Hi Knut,

Just a quick question - since you are the one best keeping track of issues and discussions on the forum - I have a need to extend the captions feature of slimbox popup - has there been any discussion about (hack) to wcms code to allow <b><br><p>...et al. inside the captions - as far as my usage goes - my interest is in hiding the caption - and then on slimbox popup - the caption shows - any ideas or pointers?

BTW the GalleryX stuff you have put together is really awesome - !

cheers

Caption has title option which is needed to show caption in lightbox.

The rule is: Normal caption | ALT Text | Image URL [target] | Title Text

So try:
|||Hi I am a title, mean lightbox caption

but this is overkill

OK - thanks for refreshing my memory - yes - the caption text is 'hidden' (hide caption option) inside the title attribute
- not much sense injecting html inside it

- i noticed that any illegal characters (html) are stripped out when saving captions
- which makes sense to keep everything legal
- no sense to break the rules

For simple styling use bbcode and so on. Should also possible to use [br]. The problem - title (hover with mouse) with such might not look nice.

Excellent - thanks for refreshing my memory noch einmal
- in my case works like a charm

Seems the three that work perfectly are b, u, i

Then in slimbox css - can assign attributes - in my case:
So a considerable amount of flexibility - using such a stratagy
Popup captions look more like an html page ! u is used like a paragraph tag, etc

- Thanks once again -

I have another question - related to this....

Seems:
Thumbnail {THUMB_NAME}
Relative {THUMB_REL}
Absolute {THUMB_ABS}
WxH {THUMB_WIDTH}px x {THUMB_HEIGHT}px

is only available for CP Teaser
So it is NOT available for images<div> or text w/image CP's etc.

I have a case where it would be nice to use the width {THUMB_WIDTH} of the
lighbox thumbnail to control other parameters of widths of divs that hold text

I guess this is not possible.
Correct me if I am wrong.

UPDATE: I AM WRONG
{THUMB_WIDTH} IS Available INSIDE
<!--IMAGES_ENTRY_START//-->
<!--IMAGES_ENTRY_END//-->
tags - cool

it is

for images <div> and images <special>

Hi Oliver - WOW -

I just discovered it - and was posting an update
and in the menatime - you replied (within minutes/seconds of my post)

BIG THANKS for being so generous with your valuable time

Yeah, I am in a happy mood after seeing the 80ies documentation (music related) on www.arte.tv while working on a long-term project. I am so impressed (and emptied a bottle of good red wine alone alone )!

Cheers Oliver

Yes, noticed you posted in the wee hours (12am) ....

one other question - just a clarification
seems the the {THUMB_WIDTH} etc is primarily for text output.

For the time being i tried:
<div class="clickToEnlarge" style="float:right; width:{THUMB_WIDTH};">

this div is INSIDE the
<!--IMAGES_ENTRY_START//--> .........
<!--IMAGES_ENTRY_END//-->
tags

seems not to work - apparently the REP TAG cannot be used to inject local style rules
is primarily for text output.
I have managed a workaround - just running this past you..

cheers

add px - {THUMB_WIDTH}px
