EasyImageCaption - A free Joomla plugin

Version history

v0.52 [2012-05-18]

• Fixed detection of image width
• Fixed parsing of underline tags [u][/u]
• EasyImageCaption now works inside custom HTML modules (if "Prepare Content" is set to "Yes") (1.6+ version only)
• Minor bugfixing

v0.51 (2nd release) [2011-08-09]

• No bugs fixed, no features added, but EasyImageCaption is now available for Joomla 1.6/1.7, too. The 1.5 ZIP file has been renamed, but it has not changed since the last update. So if you are already using v0.51 on Joomla 1.5, there is no need to change anything now.

v0.51 [2011-04-05]

• Spanish language file updated, thanks to Carlos from www.gnumla.com

v0.5 [2011-04-03]

• Width calculations consider CSS image borders and padding (specified in image's style tag).
• Variables "introtext" and "fulltext" are now captionized as well: new parameter allows hiding of captions in introtexts.
• Got rid of deprecated PHP "split" function.
• JoomSlide (highslide) compatibility added.
• Backend parameter panel fixed (please tell me, whether I really fixed it; I was not able to reproduce the problem ;-) ).
• Undefined variable bug fixed.
• Margin calculation fixed.
• JCE border fix.
• Tried to fix a bug with handling existing JCE captions, as reported by user DDKJJK in the reviews, but could not find any bug (please tell me, if this problem still exists).

v0.49beta3 [2010-03-24]

• Spanish language file added, thanks to Carlos from www.gnumla.com

v0.49beta2 [2010-03-12]

• Fixed bug "Call to undefined function JCEToolTipFix()" when using the TITLE tag for captions.

v0.49beta1 [2010-03-04]

• Important parts of code rewritten. The new HTML structure (with SPAN elements rather than DIV elements) provides enhanced handling of images within paragraphs without losing HTML validity. This fixed some major bugs (e.g. doubling of images, alignment problems).
  If you have been using previous versions of EasyImageCaption with external CSS for caption styling, you will have to change the CSS to match the new HTML structure! Parameters have also changed.
• New "apply to" and "except" parameters: giving you better control of when captions are generated; default can be "apply to all images" or "apply to none".
• Images in section and category descriptions (shown at top of a blog view for instance) are "captionized", too.
• New parameter: possibility to hide captions on frontpage and/or in blog view.
• New parameter: define the minimum size of images to get captions; that keeps small buttons and icons "caption-free".
• New parameter: copy the image's CSS classes to the new surrounding picture box (container).
• New parameter: choose whether to place the caption below or above the image.
• Added some new style parameters for better margin control.
• Added support for special "formatting tags" (similar to BBCode) that will be converted into HTML tags when showing the captions.
• Added JCE tooltip fix, that deletes a double colon (inserted by JCE as control characters for its tooltip function) at the end of the caption string.
• Added support for Simple Image Gallery by adding the respective css classes as defaults to the "except classes" parameter.
• Added support for !JoomlaComment by adding the respective css id as default to the "except ids" parameter.

v0.3 [2009-08-05]

• Enhanced the "Ignore classes" parameter: images will also be ignored, if one of the classes set is assigned to a superior HTML element. This will help users to easily disable EasyImageCaption when experiencing compatibility problems with other plugins.
• Removed compatibility with Very Simple Image Gallery plugin from source code and added the gallery plugin's CSS class to the new "Ignore classes" parameter as default instead.
• Added further "ignore classes" as default for compatibility with The Ultimate Social Bookmarking Plugin.
• Added compatibilty with JUMultithumb plugin.

v0.2 [2009-07-30]

• Added options to ignore certain articles, articles of certain sections or articles of certain categories
• Added basic style settings to parameters
  (is enabled by default, but can be turned off, if you prefer to use the template's CSS file for styling)
• Added compatibility with JoomGallery's JoomPlu plugin
  (JoomPlu's alignment parameter is recognized; width of caption div can be set separately)
• Added compatibility with Very Simple Image Gallery plugin
  (EasyImageCaption is automatically disabled within this plugin since it has its own caption function)
• Added multi-language support with English and German language files for backend
• Enhanced calculation of the width of the DIV container (this fixed a rare problem)

v0.1 [2009-06-29]

• First release
