Hello!

I work on moving my website from Wordpress to Joomla (I installed Quickstart Publisher template). One of the problem is that I used "image caption" in Wordpress. And it seems that in Joomla world there is no component, at least free, that can just add caption to an image. My last try was EasyImageCaption component, but in Publisher template it duplicates all the captions, which is unaccaptable. I tried to contact the developer but got no answer.
So the questions is: can Publisher template somehow cause the duplication of captions?
May be there is another way to add caption, that I'm not aware of?

Hi

Please show me an example to a page with this problem. It's possible that caption is shown from within component and plugin at the same time. When I see it I'll be able to tell You what needs to be done.

Hi

Just as I thought. One caption is added by component, the second one from easy image caption plugin. Please see easy image caption plugin and try to see how it looks when disabled, or just play with it's settings.

tetbite, thank you.

But the problem with EasyImageCaption is that there are a very few settings. I played with them all and there are only two state: duplicated captions and no captions at all (have a look at the same url). How can I disable captions in component ? May be it can solve the problem...

Well, spent another several hours playing around with EasyImageCaption and have found no solution.
teitbite, is it possible to send a login/password to you for the site I gave a link that you can have a look? Sure, it won't take much time...

Hi

I've played with EasyImageCaption plugin for a while, but I'm not an expert if it comes to this extension and cannot find a correct configuration either. Please ask this extension developer for help with this.

Meanwhile please add this to override.css, remember to allow using override in template settings:

Code: Select all
span.easy_img_caption_inner { display: none !Important; }


this code will hide one of the captions.

Hi

Yes I was wrong. Caption is comming from this plugin twice. Looks like it is adding caption to caption, so code to hide one of them will be different as well, sorry. Try this:

Code: Select all
.easy_img_caption > .easy_img_caption > .easy_img_caption_inner { display: none; }

I play with fresh installation of Publisher template and see that the problem is with K2 articles. In Joomla articles your code works just fine...

Hi

I've added this code to override.css file myself. Was lacking !important rule.

Code: Select all
.easy_img_caption > .easy_img_caption > .easy_img_caption_inner {
    display: none !important;
}
