This is customizing, I know guys, not an issue, so it’s all a good will to help me 🙂

So I wanted to add captions to the main image in JA News Features on my http://www.ecars.bg Teline IV setup, but this has to be set in the module php files I guess, and I can’t do that.

Actually I would like to have a specific class applied – see example here – it’s text over transparent layer – in K2 items it’s easy to add a div, but how is this possible in the module as well?

If you are trying to work with customization, you can:

<blockquote>Open templates/ja_teline_iv/html/mod_janews_featured/default/blog.php file</blockquote>

Find

<h2 class="ja-zintitle">
<a href="<?php echo $news->link;?>" title="<?php echo strip_tags($news->title); ?>">
<?php echo $news->title;?>
</a>
</h2>

Make any changes on CSS file here at:

<blockquote>templates/ja_teline_iv/html/mod_janews_featured/default/style.css</blockquote>

What do you need?

If it’s right you can change from css file

Open templates/ja_teline_iv/html/mod_janews_featured/default/style.css

from

.ja-zinfp-featured h2.ja-zintitle a {
background: #000
border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc
color: #ccc
padding: 8px 12px;
text-decoration: none;
}

Change to

.ja-zinfp-featured h2.ja-zintitle a {
color: #ccc
padding: 8px 12px;
text-decoration: none;
position: absolute;
top: 180px;
}

Hi and thanks for your suggestion.

It’s close to what you suggest, but not exactly.

I’d like to keep the title where it is and add opacity bar with text to serve as caption on the image. This way I can show image credits and some text in addition to alt and title tags (title tag only shows on hover…). So it’s even mandatory to show image credits so I’d love to have a solution and maybe you guys can update the JA News Feeatured module with this function – please see attached image.

I created a class and I can easily apply it, but it only shows when you open the article (K2 item in my case) – I don’t know how to apply the class to the JA News Featured php. And where will I enter the captions text for every new article. So the idea is to have separate class that will show captions to this module as I have another class for inside the article (I don’t think one class can do both).

So this is what I’m trying to achieve and you help is very much needed even more we are talking about being able to show image credits here.

Thanks again
Martin

I checked code on JA News Featured module, captions on the picture is always replaced by the title of article. You need some customizations for this.
