Views Caption? How?

I did use views "custom rewrite field" to build the markup myself. That works.

What did you put in the rewrite?

Hi. Thats a bit complex. I rewrote the image fields and added a custom textfield.
Also activate global script include in the settings and added a class to the view. "photoswipe-gallery"

image

<a class="photoswipe" href= "{{ field_media_image }}" itemprop="contentUrl"  data-pswp-width="{{ field_media_image__width }}" data-pswp-height="{{ field_media_image__height }}"  title="{{ field_media_image__title }}" alt="{{ field_media_image__title }}" data-overlay-title="{{ field_media_image__title }}">

custom textfield

<figure itemprop="associatedMedia" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/ImageObject">
{{ field_media_image_1 }}{{ field_media_image }}{{ field_media_image_2 }}{{ field_media_image_3 }}</a>
<figcaption itemprop="caption description pswp-caption-content">{{ field_media_image_4 }}{{ field_media_image_5 }}</figcaption>
</figure>

That results in the following on my site:

Have you installed the "photoswipe_dynamic_caption" submodule? Since Photoswipe 5.x, different photoswipe functionalities were encapsulated in "photoswipe plugins" (see https://github.com/dimsemenov/photoswipe-dynamic-caption-plugin for example). This is represented through submodules in the Drupal module.

Yes i have. My solution also works and you can customize the code to be valid with the schema.org gallery template

@marcoka, my apologies! Seems, that I haven't read the issue summary correctly!

Having a caption above the picture isn't currently supported, the caption "type" can currently be set to "below", "aside" or "auto", see https://github.com/dimsemenov/photoswipe-dynamic-caption-plugin#type-auto. Feel free to create an issue on @dimsemenov caption plugin repo.

Automatically closed - issue fixed for 2 weeks with no activity.

Thanks for sharing @marcoka, I'll surely use parts of your example to create a great caption.

A simpler example, and mentioning that you can assemble a custom caption text with a custom textfield could be included in the README, maybe under a new "Custom Views caption" section?

https://git.drupalcode.org/project/photoswipe/-/blob/5.x/modules/photosw...

Also, I think the README is missing a sentence or two, that when it's set up, the user can choose any field and use that as caption. It feels like the README stops too soon :)

By the way, @marcoka I am curious if you have managed to get captions to work in Views in PhotoSwipe 5?

Because many report that the option is missing, see 🐛 photo filed - caption Needs work .

I found the problem, a comment by @vladdancer helped me realize it's a Drupal core issue.

I had a look at adding a caption, and ended up using a custom module for more flexibility, and created an example in the Token documentation: https://www.drupal.org/docs/extending-drupal/contributed-modules/contrib... →
