Hi there

Thanks for posting!

The way you access the image caption for your images is by using the $file.caption$ placeholder.

Now, this placeholder is going to be available in two different places. First, on your /common/embeddedMedia.html template or anywhere that you have an embedded media templatecell.

What I mean by that last part is that if you stick a templatecell like this onto your categoryIndex.html or articlePage.html template:

Code

<!-- templateCell : pageDefault.embeddedMedia --> 
 
<!-- /templateCell : pageDefault.embeddedMedia -->

You'll be about to output the caption of your images like this:

Code

<!-- templateCell : pageDefault.embeddedMedia --> 
$file.caption$ 
<!-- /templateCell : pageDefault.embeddedMedia -->

Of course, going that way, you'll want to add some more code in there so that the image appears as well. Here's the what the whole thing would look like by default:

Code

<!-- templateCell : pageDefault.embeddedMedia --> 
 
  <!-- templateIf : $file.caption$ ne '' --> 
    <table border=0 cellspacing=2 cellpadding=0 width=$file.width$ align=$file.align$> 
      <tr><td><img src="$file.webUrl$" height="$file.height$" width="$file.width$" border=1></td></tr> 
      <tr><td><span class="image_caption">$file.caption$</span></td></tr> 
     </table> 
  <!-- /templateIf --> 
 
  <!-- templateIf : $file.caption$ eq '' --> 
    <table border=0 cellspacing=2 cellpadding=0 width=$file.width$ align=$file.align$> 
      <tr><td><img src="$file.webUrl$" height="$file.height$" width="$file.width$" border=1></td></tr> 
     </table> 
  <!-- /templateIf --> 
 
<!-- /templateCell : pageDefault.embeddedMedia -->

Just stick that whole block onto your article or category template and you'll be able to access the image caption.

Let me know what you think. Also, if you let me know what you are actually trying to do with the caption, I can go into more detail here for you Smile

Thank you Ross for you answer!

What i try is just put the caption text at the bottom of the photo at articlePage.html but doenst work. The photo show up without problems, file caption no.

I use the templateCell code and doenst showup, but no errors with that code, without templateCell give me this error [unknown placeholder $file.caption$]

Here its the code i use at articlePage.html template:

Code

<table width="560" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"> 
<tr> 
    <td width="200" align="right" valign="top"> 
    <img src="$article.image:fileAttribute(1,webUrl)$" width="200" border="0" alt=""> 
   <br><br> 
 
   <!-- templateCell : pageDefault.embeddedMedia -->  
   $file.caption$  
   <!-- /templateCell : pageDefault.embeddedMedia --> <br><br> 
<span class="article_text"><a href="mailto:?subject=$article.title:urlEncoded$&body=$published.articlePage.url:urlEncoded$">Email&nbsp;<img src="../../../images/mail.gif" width="16" height="12" border="0" alt=""></a> 
<br><br> 
<a href="$published.articlePrinterPage.url$">Print&nbsp;<img src="../../../images/printer.gif" width="14" height="14" border="0" alt=""></a></span> 
<br></td> 
<td width="25" valign="top"><img src="../../../images/separator.jpg" width="25" height="591" border="0" alt=""></td> 
<td width="335" valign="top"> 
<span class="header_breadcrumb"><!--#include virtual="$published.categoryBreadcrumb.webpath$" --></span> 
<br><br> 
<span class="article_title">$article.title$</span><br> 
<span class="autor_text">$article.author$</span> 
<Br><br> 
<span class="article_text">$article.summary$</span> 
<br><br> 
<span class="article_text">$article.content$</span> 
<br><br> 
<span class="copy_text">&copy; Copyright $article.date:format(yyyy)$ $article.author$</span> 
<br><br> 
</td> 
</tr> </table>

Hi again

.

That code is working for me ok so I am not quite sure what's going on here. Would you mind posting up a copy of your whole template so I can take a closer look at it?

I look forward to hearing from you Smile

Hi Crankez,

I'm a little confused as to what you're going for here. By default, the caption is displayed along with the image via the embedded media template. What happens when you put the ***image1*** placeholder into one of your content fields?

Hiya Donna!

When i put the ***image1*** inside to text works perfect, no problems. The problems are when i try to use that file.caption outside the text content. But its no a big problem, i can hadle that

Thank you
