It is recommended, on the first access to the Articles main tab, to configure the image captions.

The default captions assume you have the >caption< and >credit< tags available in the format that is usually assigned to the photocaption element.

Default: >caption<$summary^>credit<$authors. This puts the picture caption in the first line of the caption element, and formats it by the >caption< style; in the second line, it puts the author(s) of the image, and formats it by the >credit< style.

To configure the image captions format

1.On the Edit menu, click Preferences, and then click the Extra tab.

2.On the General sub-tab, in the Photo Caption field, enter what you want.

3.Click OK to save the preference.

Note about image captions styles, fields and special character

Available caption styles depend on your custom format.

Available fields are hard-coded in the InsertCaptionByTemplate script, and are:

•$summary

•$authors

•$credit

The fields corresponds to the same-named image attributes.

The only available special character is "^" that forces the new paragraph.

About saving preferences in database

When you click OK, the preferences are updated in the memory and applied right-on. GN4 will store the preference in the database when you exit application. Anyway, should your GN4 crash or exit in any other abnormal way, the preference will not be stored in database, and you will have to repeat the previously described steps.

This preference is stored in the Editorial_SystemUserConfig for the securityRef corresponding to the user name. To display that configuration, open EdAdmin4, click Client Applications, expand the search pane in the left sidebar, in the Name enter editorial, and in the securityRef select the name of the user. Double-click the Editorial_SystemUserConfig to open the content. Locate the preference by name.
