It's been a few weeks since I've posted here and the product has been working very well (we're launching a newspaper this coming monday).

There has been a request to display the caption of an image under its extracted teaser image. Any direction on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Joe

Me too....
Have identical question. Is there any way to have an image inserted into a story with a caption display on the the caption when the image is used as a teaser? Trying to find workarounds, but no luck yet...

Hi,

Looking in the code, it is possible for the theme to override the output of the teaser image and hence, also display the caption. In practice, I don't have a quick and easy implementation handy because I expect there to be some CSS layout issues in making sure everything still lines up.

If you know Drupal themeing, here is the thing to look at ...

As of ProsePoint 0.29, there is a new hook theme_pp_img_extract_view() which controls the presentation of teaser images. See .../profiles/prosepoint/modules/prosepoint/prosepoint_editor/pp_img_extract.module around line 30. Your theme can override this to change the presentation to however you want.

Or if this doesn't make any sense to you, you might want to consider commissioning me to implement it for you. Please contact me through the contact form if so.
