Titles on lightbox slides in tumblr
I have now added titles to the slides in the lightbox effect used on this site. Thanks to Brant for asking me about it on a comment he made on one of my previous posts about using lightbox in tumblr, as it was something I had not considered previously, and I love a challenge.
It turned out to be pretty easy once I referred back to the lightbox2 and tumblr theme documentation. You just have to add title="{PhotoAlt}" where the {PhotoAlt} tumblr tag is derived from the caption for a photo type post.
So the new code looks like this:
<a href="{PhotoURL-HighRes}" rel="lightbox[photo_post]" title="{PhotoAlt}"><img src="{PhotoURL-500}" alt="{PhotoAlt}"/>{LinkCloseTag}
The slides will now show a title at the bottom of them similar to this:
