Topic: Multiple Captions

I'd like to put a link to another page in my caption field.  This link will be the same for all images in that gallery.  Is there a simple way to do this for all images, or do I have to paste the code in every caption box for every image? (time-consuming)

Thanks.

Re: Multiple Captions

svManager has the ability to set the same text in all selected captions (see here for details).
svBuilder-Pro does not have an option to use a single caption for all images but you could choose to use no captions and after your gallery has been created, open the XML file in a text editor and go a global search and replace on:
<caption><![CDATA[]]></caption>.

Re: Multiple Captions

Thanks Steven.  That should work, but perhaps my caption is too long as it is getting truncated in the middle of a word.

Shortened link works a treat.  Great solution!

Re: Multiple Captions

Certain text editors (such as Windows Notepad) allow only a short amount of text in the replace field but other editors (such as Notepad++) may allow longer texts.
