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
|
||||
[Image Caption](http://drupal.org/project/image_caption) module.
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
As I use the [FileField](http://drupal.org/project/filefield),
|
||||
[ImageField](http://drupal.org/project/imagefield) and
|
||||
[Insert](http://drupal.org/project/insert) 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.
|
||||
|
||||
Now, all images inserted this way will have the CSS class of 'caption'.
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
This results in a span called `image-caption-container` around the inserted
|
||||
image, and a caption below it called `image-caption` containing the text.
|
||||
|
||||
All that's left is to style these classes within your CSS stylesheet.
