Plugin for image - caption
Hello,
I need to use a tag for displaying in the article body an image, and beside it the caption.
I can do that with image and image_info, but I’d like to make this process more simplified, using just one tag.
Is there something like this on the market?
Thanks…!

Your favourite stalker here :-)
One way I’ve approached this in the past is to set up a form containing the layout you want, and then pass in the name of the image(s) you want to see in that space. For example, in your body:
<txp:output_form form="gallery">my_pic.jpg</txp:output_form>And in form gallery:
<txp:images name='<txp:yield />'>
<txp:image />
<txp:image_info wraptag="span" class="caption" />
</txp:images>This has the advantage that your users can list the images they want to see:
<txp:output_form form="gallery">my_pic.jpg, other_pic.jpg, another_shot.jpg</txp:output_form>It’s “one tag” to learn and might still be a little too geeky for your users. Perhaps to ease the load further, you might be able to configure this into, for example, upm_quicktags or another similar plugin like rah_textile_bar? I’ve never explored it, but it might work as I think they both allow customisation of the button bar. Then you could perhaps pop up a dialog box to prompt someone to enter the name(s) of the images they wanted to see and drop them into the <txp:output_form> tag on their behalf.
btw, I’m working on a plugin that might help in this regard, but it won’t be ready for a while yet.
