Hi,

I've installed the latest release and trying to get to grips with image captions.

I've added a 'caption' parameter as shown below:

$captionsettings = array('text' => 'test');
$image->addImage(array('src' => $imagesrc,'imageAlign' => 'center','height' => $picvar[0],'width' => $picvar[1],'caption' => $captionsettings));

 

Though I then receive the error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function saveXML() on a non-object in /var/www/phpdocx_corporate-new2/classes/CreateDocx.inc

There is mention of:

'show_label' (string) show default value Figure

I tried setting a value here, though I guess it provides a default?

Is it possible to get demo snippet of how I should declare a caption?

Thanks

Hello,

This a simple sample about how to add image captions:

$options = array(
    'src' => 'image.png',
    'imageAlign' => 'left',
    'scaling' => 50,
    'spacingTop' => 10,
    'spacingBottom' => 0,
    'spacingLeft' => 0,
    'spacingRight' => 20,
    'textWrap' => 0,
    'borderStyle' => 'lgDash',
    'borderWidth' => 6,
    'borderColor' => 'FF0000',
    'caption' => array('show_label' => true, 'text' => 'FIRST IMAGE')
);

$docx->addImage($options);

You may read the valid parameters on the addImage API doc (http://www.phpdocx.com/api-documentation/word-content/insert-image-Word-document-with-PHP).

Regards.

Thanks for the example, however I am not having much luck making it work:

$captionsettings = array('show_label' => true, 'text' => 'FIRST IMAGE');

$image->addImage(array('src' => $imagesrc,'imageAlign' => 'center','height' => $picvar[0],'width' => $picvar[1],'caption' => $captionsettings));

 

I get this error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function saveXML() on a non-object in /var/www/phpdocx_corporate-new2/classes/CreateDocx.inc on line 3376

 

Am I missing any other parameters?

Hello,

We've done some checks and everything is working fine, please post the full script. This script must illustrate the issue and be as simple as possible.

Regards.

Sure, I'll email you over an example now.

Hi guys,

It would be quite nice, if one could localize the default label "Figure" of image caption.

Have you any plans to make it possible?

Hello,

You could set the option 'show_label' as false and then use 'text' to add a custom string instead of 'Figure'. 'Figure' os a fixed default text added by Word.

Regards.
