Hi Ced

Haven't harrassed you for a while.... :P

Where I enter a single image, would it be possible to add the ability to add a caption to it. I do so from time to time, and JCE had the caption plugin which worked OK-ish (it had it's idiosyncrasies). I don't see a way to do it currently, so maybe a wishlist item?

Cheers

A great landing is one where you can reuse the aircraft!

Hi
lol ;)
for the caption, this would be more something to be added into Tinymce than into page builder. Have you searched for an addon for tinymce ? I don't know but may be something exists, if yes tell me !

Did some searching on this as Tiny MCE is a frustratingly basic editor to work with. SO SO SO much I miss about JCE. Just formatting images takes at least twice as long. No click and find images. No WYSIWYG floats or margins. Linking is all manual.

Anyway, I found a post where a couple of guys are talking about modules they wrote to add captions to a CMS called ProcessWire - no idea if it'd be an easy mod to Joomla.

And here's a post from the Tiny MCE site about adding them:

www.tinymce.com/docs/plugins/image/

And a Joomla plugin. I believe I tried this and it had bad results - just a vague memory.

I'm busy actually, but an improved TinyMce is something that is really interesting me :)

JCE is really good, but for me it misses some updates according to TinyMce on which it is based. But may be that I have a bad point of view too !

Yeah, I knew it was based on Tiny but didn't understand any further relationship. JCE does makes so many everyday, mundane tasks so much easier - like placing images and links.

anyway to be clear, Page Builder CK works with TinyMCe and not with JCE
