Caption on images
Permalink
When using the Image block, there is a spot for "Alt/Caption" text. This adds alt text to the image, but a caption is nowhere in sight.
Is this simply a bad naming convention in the UI or am I missing something?
I tried adding this code to concrete/core/controllers/blocks/image.php:
on line 141, but that just hosed the page. :)
(I put the new file in the root level blocks directory)

If you want an image caption block J12345 makes a good one in the marketplace for free. Called Image Caption I believe. The standard image block does not have a caption, just and alt tag.
Excellent. I will look into that one.
Hi, do you know of another version as the version suggested here is not compatible with 5.7.3.
Thanks
Thanks
I would have thought that the ability to add a caption to an image would be bog standard. Any developments in that direction? Anyone?

Are you looking for this feature for use in 5.7?

Yes I am.
I notice that the documentation for 5.7 Image block says that "The Alt. Text area is a short description that is useful for SEO and accessibility. Many templates also use it for a caption." This comment suggests that if I was a little bit more Cr5 savvy I could find a way of achieving the desired result, but I'm afraid I'm stumped. My apologies if I sound a tad peeved.

Here is a quick custom block template.
It should be unzipped into this directory:
application\blocks
This should be the path to the template after unzipping:
application\blocks\image\templates\caption\view.php

O.K. Many thanks. Very much appreciated.
