[x] Caption text displaying in two different places

[amberreeves]

There is a field ""caption"": in the json file that is set to display in two different locations - the Caption field in the side bar above the discussion questions and the caption field under the quote. It is exactly the same text and it is not entered in more than the 1 field in the json file.

We can see where it is in the index file but, when we tried to hide it in an individual instance, after it was compiled by Grunt, it wasn't enough. It must need to change somewhere else but we haven't figured out where

[jmaj]

Do they want us to remove the caption that is showing up on the right side?

[amberreeves]

please see issues #168 for the order of items to display in the sidebar.

The caption field in the side bar will contain some miscellaneous text. This is an optional, open field that the client can use if/when they need space for a source caption, and that does not display when there is no text entered for it. There are currently zero sources in any of the instances we created that have text for this field. So it should not be displaying at all.

The caption field under an image or quote in the white annotation space is text describing the image or quote, or whatever. Many of the sources in the instances we've created include text for this field.

These are two separate fields with very different content. But right now, we're seeing the same text displaying both fields. Can you look into why this is happening? Is it the JSON format, or the text entered in JSON, or a bug with how the fields are pulling in?

We currently have: "image_caption": "", "caption": "",

... in the JSON file. Both of these are added into the annotation area. We also need a "caption" field that goes into the column to the left. Let's make that "resource_caption" instead, so we don't need to change anything in the JSON file.

[jmaj]

Wait the current caption field is the item that goes in the left already

caption is for the left sidebar, we need a new json value for the right side of caption correct?

[amberreeves]

@mtedeschi and @jmaj can you two talk through this? i dont know how else to explain how these fields work. happy to draw it out or whatever works, but let me know if you can resolve it.

[jmaj]

I just need to know if the current caption above is for the left or right side.

[mtedeschi]

The current "caption" is for the right side (the annotation area side). The new "resource_caption" is for the left side.

[jmaj]

resource_caption has been added to the five json files we have, they'll need to add it in there other annotation json files as well.

You can go in and make any text edits you'd like to the JSON files now. Just wait to redeploy them until our changes are pushed up. I'm hoping that will be Monday, but I will keep you updated.

We've added another field to the JSON structure to better accommodate the sidebar caption field (see line 10 in the warranty spreadsheet). This field has been added to all sources in all instances we've created and to the template JSON file. You can go in and add it to all instances you've created (to those sources that will use it, and for consistencies sake across all instances), although it does not have to be added if it's not being used (if there aren't any sources that use it right now, you might not want to spend the time doing this, up to you).
