Hi,
The caption for a photo is generally centered, and is the default format in the presentation of the title and addtional short captions (photographer name, address, etc.) of the photo in CPG.
The default center alignment, is also the default alignment for long descriptions that may be included. This is not always aesthetically good to look at. Is it possible to specify, left align and right align and other combinations, also?
Example 01:
"... That if all vicious men are bound together and constitute a force, then all honorable men ought to do the same ..."
-- Leo Tolstoy (War and Peace)
The description is "left aligned" while the attribution is "right aligned"
Example 02:"...Oh Wind. If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?"
-- Ode to the West Wind Percy Bysshe Shelley |
In the second example given above, the first line, second line and attribution were "right aligned", "left aligned" and "right aligned", respectively; before the entire text was boxed in a table and the table itself, centered -- to get the desired appearance of the quote from the poem.
Basically, I used the allowed simple BB tags in this forum, to enable the above formatting. I may have missed reading it in the Manual, but it would be nice if such basic simple BB tags are allowed in the photo description.
Without the alignments, the default in the photo description would appear like these:
Example 1:
"... That if all vicious men are bound together and constitute a force, then all honorable men ought to do the same ..."
-- Leo Tolstoy (War and Peace)
Here, if the above quoted description is very long, and consists of multiple paragraphs, the appearance is not very nice.
Example 2:
"... Oh Wind.
If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?"
-- Ode to the West Wind
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Again, the centered alignment is not the best presentation for poems.
In the FAQ, there is an example to enable BB codes to allow clickable links:
******************
Edit displayimage.php and change
$info[$CONFIG['user_field'.$i.'_name']] = make_clickable($CURRENT_PIC_DATA['user'.$i]);
into
$info[$CONFIG['user_field'.$i.'_name']] = bb_decode($CURRENT_PIC_DATA['user'.$i]);
******************
How can all the other simple BB codes be allowed in the caption of the photo?
Thanks.
