EasyImageCaption - A free Joomla plugin

EasyImageCaption works out-of-the-box. Just download the correct ZIP file according to your Joomla version and use it with the extension installer in your Joomla back-end. Then head over to the plugin page and activate it. That's it.

• If you are using Joomla 1.5 you have to manually update EasyImageCaption. Uninstall the old version first and then install the newer one. Note that your parameter settings will get lost upon uninstalling!
• The 1.6/1.7 version of EasyImageCaption allows automatic updating. Open the "Update" page in your back-end's extension manager and click on "Find updates". If a new version of EasyImageCaption is available, it will be shown in the list. Select it and click the "Update" button.

If you are using EasyImageCaption and there are also images with standard Joomla! captions on your site, you have to remove the link to the 'caption.js' script file to deactivate Joomla!'s javascript caption solution.

To do this, add the following PHP code to the top of your template's 'index.php' file:

<?php //Remove 'caption.js'
$header_data = $this->getHeadData();
reset($header_data['scripts']);
foreach($header_data['scripts'] as $key=>$value) {
   if(strpos($key, 'caption.js')) {
      unset($header_data['scripts'][$key]);
   }
}
$this->setHeadData($header_data); ?>
