[Resolved] Caption Below Dynamic Content-Template Images

[Sam]

Hi,

I’m using a custom Content-Template for my blog post (the actual blog post).
At the top of that Content-Template is a dynamic image I’m getting from a custom field. I want to add a caption to that dynamic image if possible.
Any tips?

Hi Sam,

Are you using the GB image block? If so, select the image block, then click the CC button of the float toolbar, it will add a caption below the image if there’s a caption set in the media library.

Hello Ying,
I tried, but it doesn’t work,
I attached a video explaining the problem in the private section,
kindly take a look.

Hi there,

you Custom Field, how is storing the Image ? Is it the URL or the ID ?

It’s ID now, but I tried both, and neither one works.

[Ying]

I don’t see the admin login in the private info field, can you re-attach it?

[Sam]

I thought I added an admin access, my mistake

update:
I also added a link to the post in question as well as to the content-template

I’m not seeing a caption set for the images in the media library:

Can you try adding something in the caption field to test?

[Sam]

Dear Ying, this image (the featured image you referred to in your screenshot) is not the dynamic image I’m using in the blog post I sent you. I’m using a dummy/placeholder gray image with some generic text, which is being pulled from a custom field.

Kindly check the video and the blog post I linked to below the admin access link in the private field from my earlier reply.

Are you using GenerateBlocks Pro ?

[Sam]

yes, I just double checked, I am using GB pro!

Have a look now – i think its working 🙂

The steps which i need to test locally were:

1. Add an Image block , and select an image from the Media library. Don’t enable dynamic data yet.
2. Add the Caption and enable its Dynamic data for Caption of current image.
3. Then enable the Image Blocks Dynamic Data to show the Post Meta.

Fantastic!

I wouldn’t have thought of enabling the dynamic field of the caption before making the image block dynamic. I thought they were just one entity, and activating the dynamism of one would trigger the other, but I am glad it’s working.

thank you so much for your help David.

[David]

It kinda shouldn’t require those steps, so ill see what we can do to make it more intuitive

Glad to be of help.
