[Plugin: WordPress NextGen GalleryView] Move Caption below photo instead of overlay

Hi aalim,
Did you find a solution to your query? I am also looking for a slidshow with caption below the image.
Thanks

+1 from me, as well. I’d very much like to see an option to place the caption below the image.

looking for that. already tried different things without success.

I guess there is something to change in the jquery.galleryview-2.0.js around line 868.
any suggestions?

ok, guess i found a solution (not the best but seems to work):

just add the following code to your themes style.css:

.nav-next, .nav-prev , .strip_wrapper {
	margin-top: 60px;
	}

.galleryview {
	margin-bottom: 60px;
	}

.panel {
	padding-bottom: 60px;
	}

.panel .panel-overlay, .overlay-background{
	color: #666 !important; /* text-color of the captions */
	}

then go to file jquery.galleryview-2.0.js in the galleryview plugin folder on line 425; below

// Set the height and width of each panel, and position it appropriately within the gallery

and replace
'height':(opts.panel_height-extraHeight(j_panels))+'px',

'height':(opts.panel_height-extraHeight(j_panels))+60+'px',

this adds 60px of the panel’s height

so you have 60px below the picture to show the captions

just try and report

Hi chironex!

Thanks for the code.

I tried the first step of adding to style.css and that worked to expand the layout of the gallery. Now I want to move the caption in the available space. I can’t even find the file
jquery.galleryview-2.0.js
duur…where is it?
I looked in plugin folder of galleryview but this is all I have:
wordpress-nextgen-galleryview/nggGalleryView.php
wordpress-nextgen-galleryview/readme.txt
wordpress-nextgen-galleryview/GalleryView/license.txt
wordpress-nextgen-galleryview/nggGalleryViewSharedFunctions.php

Also, any advice on how to change the background color of the whole gallery?
And how to change the color of caption background/caption text?

Thanks!
