For sets of pictures I like the NextGen-Plugin (nextgen-gallery). It allows very easy gallery views of pictures and – what is also important – the internal media library of WordPress in enhanced by the thematic storing of the pictures.<\/p>\n

In practice this means I often use pics from galleries also as single pictures in articles. Nextgen-Gallery has a [ singlepic ] feature, but unfourtunately it doesn’t show captions. That’s realy sucks.<\/p>\n

A web search shows me the principle how it canbe solved but I didn’t found a ready to use solution that looks OK. So I write my own and provide it to a free usage.<\/p>\n

My solution: Use the singlepic-caption.php from the download below and add your image as follows to the article (remove the spaces befor and after the square brackets:<\/p>\n

[ singlepic id=2 w=320 h=240 float=none template=caption ]<\/p>\n

The template=caption statement lets use the singlepic-caption.php instead of singlepic.php<\/p>\n

In my template the text from the title-field is used as caption. In the fullscreen view the normally longer text from the description field is used.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For a besser separation from the normal text the caption is one step smaller than the normal text and set in italic. I also add an additional vertical space to separate the image better.<\/p>\n

It looks like this:<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_1_placeholder

Jahreswechsel 2010\/2011: Der Winter schl\u00e4gt richtig zu<\/font><\/em> 
<\/p>\n

I haven’t translated the german caption in this example, so that the link to the image from the input mask get not lost. The caption means: “The Winter 2010\/2011 was unusual heavy”. And the long version in the full screen: “Because of the snow the streets have been made to one way streets, but for all that we don’t know where to bring the whole snow.”<\/p>\n

The template can be downloaded here:<\/p>\nDownload<\/a>\n

It must be extracted and copied to \/wordpress\/wp-content\/plugins\/nextgen-gallery\/view\/ . And these must be done also after every update of nextgen-gallery because the update deletes the whole directory.<\/p>\n

Update January 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n

NextGen-Versions from 2.x is no longer compatible to this (and many other) add-on. If you want to use the singlepic-caption template and\/or if you don’t want to edit all your past posts, please use the NextCellent gallery instead<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Update December 2014, Version 1.1 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Adapted to the newest version of NextCellent-Gallery
\nSolved a problem with getimagesize and disabled “allow_url_fopen” option in the php.ini<\/p>\n
