Hello,

I have the current SlideShowPro version integrated with Drupal via your module. Everything is working well, and now the client would like to use SSP's captions capability.

In the Slideshow Settings Advanced page, there is an area called "Captions". However, when I click to expand it, nothing appears.

So I'm wondering what needs to be done to activate this Captions option with your module.

Thanks for any advice,

Jim

To improve the question, I have now found the comment here (specifically the 1st part). If I copied that all to my theme's template.php file, this would appear to be the relevant code:

captionAppearance = "Overlay on Rollover (if Available)"
captionBackgroundAlpha = ".75"
captionBackgroundColor = "0x000000"
captionHeaderBackgroundAlpha = ".75"    
captionElements = "Header and Caption"
captionHeaderText = "{imageTitle}"
captionPadding = "5,5,5,5"
captionTextAlignment = "Left"
captionTextColor = "0xEEEEEE"
captionTextSize = "9"

However, I don't know what I would change there to enable captions for each image, and to have them appear in the slideshow.

Any luck? I have the same problem..no options under the caption drop down menu and they aren't showing up in my slideshow..nor are the album labels if I click the albums button.

I also see an empty "Captions" box is slideshow advanced settings. Is this feature still in development or should it be working?

Its still in development. Ive been really busy on my Drupalcon work as of late and have not been able to further development.

I will get back to it in 1 week or so.

Captions work for every photo using the title field.
