Hi tribulatio,

The CMS Builder demo doesn't include any "upload" fields. Upload fields allow you to enter up to 5 "info" fields associated with each uploaded file, useful for things like title tags and captions.

I've attached a screenshot of the uploading process using a default upload field which has info fields for "title" and "caption".

If you need captions for embedded images in a wysiwyg field, you can try the [url http://www.newmediacampaigns.com/page/jcaption-a-jquery-plugin-for-simple-image-captions]jCaption[/url] jQuery plugin.

Please let me know if you have any more questions.
All the best,
Chris

Thank you. I think this answers indeed my question, although it is not yet entirely clear for me how it works. If I understand right, I can upload a file along with a caption that will be seen below it - but if I switch to WYSYWYG, I won't see the caption, although it will appear on the website once published?

I must say that I have always used AM1 in HTML, since my website is bilingual (English-French); I write my text normally, then use Page Spinner (I am on Mc) for converting into HTML.

I understand now that UTF-8 becoming quite widespread, producing it in WYSYWYG might become an option, but many things remain still unclear at this point.

Hi tribulatio,

That's how the wysiwyg/jCaption option I outlined above would work, yes.

The other option is to upload images into a separate Upload field, with which you can more easily manage captions. Upload fields usually require a bit of tinkering to get them to display on your website how you'd like, but we can help with those kinds of issues here in the forum. With this workflow, you would write your content separately (i.e. you wouldn't embed the images into your content.)

I hope this helps clear things up; if you have any more questions, please ask. :)
All the best,
Chris

Hello!

Thank you for your reply, this would indeed work for me.

I have a more general question regarding plugins in CMS Builder, but I will open a separate thread for that purpose.
