Image Caption - Hypertext

Thought this would be an easy one — need to add hypertext in the Image Caption — but this did not work as planned — anyone have a work around —-

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Re: Image Caption - Hypertext

How are you outputting the caption? Core Txp only uses it as the title attribute to img (and a elements as appropriate) in the output of image, article_image, and thumbnail. It HTML-escapes the caption (and alt text) by default, but this can be overridden with the escape attribute.

jsoo:

I am actually using: <div class=“image-desc”><txp:upm_img_caption /></div>

Can you provide a little more about the escape attribute and getting that to function —-

Re: Image Caption - Hypertext

Check the documentation for upm_image_caption. I’d wager there’s an attribute to control this, and I’d expect it to be called escape, html_escape, or something similar, and that it defaults to “on”. You want it “off”. You haven’t said what “did not work as planned”, but I expect you are getting HTML-escaped output.
