    I have just discovered Plogger and find it to be terrific. Particularly the way you can easily integrate it within an existing site. I am having only one problem, the captions do not show in the slideshow. Any suggestions? I am using 1.0b3.

    I figured it out. But my code is too big a mess to publish right now. As soon as I get it cleaned up, I'll post it.
  3.  
    It was so simple, just add to the slideshow.php in the theme folder

    print '<h2 id="picture_caption">temp</h2>';

    after

    print '<div id="inner_wrapper"><div id="big-picture-container">';

    The word temp will be replaced by the captions. If you alter the id, you must alter this line in slideshow.js

    slides.textid = "picture_caption"; // optional

    Using this method,
    Is there a way to make JUST the caption show (not the file name) when you do this? I figure that I could alter the code in the plog-functions.php file here:
    (around line 1909)
    function plogger_get_picture_caption() {
    if (!empty($GLOBALS["current_picture"]["caption"]))
    return SmartStripSlashes($GLOBALS["current_picture"]["caption"]);
    else
    return "&nbsp;";
    }

    But being new to PHP - I just can't seem to figure it out. Any help is SO greatly appreciated.

    Thanks a bunch for your insight!
