<h1>Review of the Image Caption Module</h1>
|
||
|
||
<p class="posted text-light">20th August 2010</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Up until as recent as last week, whenever I added an image into one of my Blog posts, I was manually adding the caption below each image and styling it accordingly. That was until I installed the <a href="http://drupal.org/project/image_caption">Image Caption</a> module.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>The Image Caption module uses jQuery to dynamically add captions to images. Here is a walkthrough of the process that I followed to install and configure the module. As always, I used Drush to download and enable the module, then visited the Image Caption Settings page (admin/settings/image_caption). Here, I select which node types should be included in image captioning. In my case, I only wanted this to apply to Blog posts.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>As I use the <a href="http://drupal.org/project/filefield">FileField</a>, <a href="http://drupal.org/project/imagefield">ImageField</a> and <a href="http://drupal.org/project/insert">Insert</a> modules to add images to my posts, as opposed to via a WYSIWYG editor, I'm able to add the CSS class of 'caption' to my images.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Now, all images inserted this way will have the CSS class of 'caption'.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>As the Image Caption module uses the image's title tag to create the displayed caption, I enabled the custom title text for my Image field so that when I upload an image, I'm prompted to enter text for the caption.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>This results in a span called <code>image-caption-container</code> around the inserted image, and a caption below it called <code>image-caption</code> containing the text.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>All that's left is to style these classes within your CSS stylesheet.</p>
