The ability to add a caption to each picture would be great!

PS: I couldn't resist trying out your module. Works great with FF and Safari so far!

Hi perandre,

I don't think I'll be adding caption functionality... because it's more of an issue with the parent Galleria plugin. I would just use photoshop or something like that to add captions to the images.

Cheers
Mark

I thought the original jquery plugin already had this functionality. Like on the demo page:

Ahh yes, you're 100% right! I think it's encoded as the image's Title.

Any suggestions for where to get the caption from? I could make it the filename, or add a CCK multi text field to the node and pull the titles from there.

I suggest a text field; that would be a good solution for a non-technical user/customer. Great work!

I've added the caption ability to the BETA1 release. Details on how to use are in the README.txt file, and on the project front page. Please test and let me know!

Thanks
Mark

Great, works like a charm!

It does, however, display a list of the captions by default; I'm not sure if that was intended. I display:none'd it away :)

You can turn off the captions in your CCK settings for the field. Just go to "Display fields" for the content type and choose "none" for both teaser and body!

Ah, sorry, I just assumed that would hide the main captions. Great! Superb!

Please note - in the latest Beta-2 the captions source is moved from the CCK field to the file's Description. See this issue:

You will have to reconfigure your Gallerias if you want to upgrade. Apologies for the inconvenience but this is still beta code!
