How to add a caption to an image in Confluence Ondemand? - confluence

I've inserted an image in a Confluence page. There does not seem to be an option to add a caption to provide a short explanation of the image.
I found a link - https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/AOD/Displaying+Images that "explains" how to add a caption.
Add a caption to an image:
Choose Effects in the image properties panel and choose the Instant Camera image effect.
Save the page.
Choose Tools > Attachments to go to the 'Attachments' view of the page.
Choose Properties next to the image file.
Add a comment to the attachment. The text in your comment will appear as the image caption.
When I follow the instructions, I do not see a Properties for the image or a comment.

My workaround is to add a 1x2 cells table that holds the image in the upper cell and the caption in the lower one.
Edit:
Since June 2021 the Confluence cloud editor offers a way to add text as a basic caption beneath any image.

Similar to Olivia Gajadhar's answer, Atlassian has added a workaround of adding a comment to the "Instant Camera" effect; see the documentation for more details.
Unfortunately Atlassian hasn't got their act together and still haven't implemented captions for real. See Confluence bug CONF-2584.

I see that this question is quite old, and it doesn't look like anyone has answered it, so I hope that I can help.
I'm using Confluence Cloud (formerly Confluence Ondemand), and the way that I add a caption is that instead of clicking on the Instant Camera under Effects, I click on Title. From there, I enter the text that I want into the caption field. When you save your edits, the caption should appear after you hover your pointer over the image.

Adding a text above the image and centering it will do the trick.

As mentioned by Garret Wilson in his answer, Atlassian have a work item to add proper image captions: CONFCLOUD-2584.
They appear to be finally working on it. As at May 2021 it still hasn't been released. However, the last update, in mid December 2020, was that it should go live early in fiscal year 2021 (presumably that means sometime after April 2021).
So keep an eye on that work item and you may see image captions go live some time in 2021.

How to create custom labels for issues on GitHub?

I've noticed that some organizations on GitHub have different labels that they can apply to issues.
For example, one organization that I am a part of allows any of these labels to be applied:
However, on my personal account, I am limited to only these labels, and I can't find a way to create my own custom ones:
Any ideas on how I can go about creating my own?
It looks like you might be accessing GitHub on a mobile device, which likely exposes a somewhat different interface.
On the full web interface, simply navigate to https://github.com/:user/:repo/labels and click the green "New label" button at the top right. Existing labels can be edited or deleted on the same page.
You can also get to this page by clicking on "issues" and then "labels".
Here's a quick GIF to make the process as easy as it can be. (recorded at my GitHub profile)
⚡️ GIF —
Labels can be applied to issues and pull requests to signify priority, category, or any other information that you find useful.
▶ On GitHub, navigate to the main page of the repository.
Under your repository name, click Issues or Pull requests.
Issues Labels buttonNext to the search field, click Labels.
Click New Label to create a new label, or click Edit to edit an existing one.
In the text box, type your new label name.
Select a color for the label from the color bar. You can customize this color by editing the hexadecimal number above the color bar.
Click Create Label to save the new label.
I hope it helps. Upvote it if it does.
The ui makes it hard to find!
You should be able to go to https://github.com/your_username/your_repo/labels
There's a github blog post that explains this in detail.
https://help.github.com/articles/creating-and-editing-labels-for-issues-and-pull-requests/
If you find yourself doing this a lot, then you might want to try using my python script (or creating something similar) so that you can set up your own labels for each new repository...

Facebook XFBML like button will not resize width - using Joomla and K2

I just installed the Facebook Like button XFBML plugin on my blog site, which uses K2 and Joomla (I copied the code directly from facebook developers.) The problem is that the plugin is too wide - it's the default 450px wide. Even when I enter 400px, and redo it, it stays 450 px wide. I can't seem to get it to resize for some reason. This is a big problem, because the right side of the comment box is hidden (I have a column on the ride hand side that covers it.) So, you can't push the "post" button. I've searched google and your database, but I can't find any posts about a similar problem. And I'm not sure where to go for help. Here is a link to an article on my site so you can see what I mean:

Thanks!
Ok, your using Joomla, no problem. When I look at the code all I see is . Using Firebug I can see that the comments plugin is runnin at 550px.
When you edit this module do you turn the editor off? I would try that and make sure you add the width variable to the comments tag as it's not showing up.
Comments also requires an href tag to work properly if I'm not mistaken. Not the issue with the width but just a heads up.

Creating an editable area in Microsoft Word 2010 document

I am sure this should be simple, however I have had a look around and drawn an blank. I have a requirement to create a Word template which is locked down for editing, except for an area in the body of the document. So for example, the document may be something like...
Dear Sir,
[Editable Region]
Regards,
Mr ABC
Is this possible? The editable region should allow any standard Word features, e.g. images, tables, track changes, etc.
Thanks for the help.
I was looking for this same thing and came across a link that explained it. Try here: http://www.mademan.com/mm/how-create-editable-forms-word-2010.html
If you already have the developer tab:
There are some buttons in there that will add text boxes and other form elements:

If you don't have the developer tab, do this first:
Go to options and "Customize Ribbons", make sure "Developer" is ticked.

Add an image with transparency to Crystal Reports

Is it really true that Crystal Reports does not support images that have transparency?
We are using it at work and the guy that does Crystal Reports told me it doesn't support transparency. I couldn't believe it so I've spent the last 20 minutes googling and think he might be right. This seems absolutely incredible in this day and age.
Can anyone please confirm whether or not CR supports transparency, and if so how you do it (we are not limited by the type of image to insert - png, gif etc).
For the record we are using CR version that comes with VS 2008 (version 10.5).
CR doesn't support transparency but you can use a wmf image to solve your problem.
I'm using CR 12 (2008), i need to put an image as signature (as a watermark) on another image.
Example:
Background_image.jpg
Signature_image.jpg
Convert Signature_image.jpg into a wmf file using "Inkscape" (freeware).
In the report, we have "Background_image.jpg" and over it the "Signature_image.wmf" image,
it works great!
Just reached over here while searching for same problem. Unfortunately this is true till this date :(
Answering this question for users who may visit again here.
Transparent background of image is not retained when adding it to Crystal Reports
I achived solution following way.
Painted transperent area with printing page color i.e. white in my case.
I would like to put image in page header and some text over it.
In CR design mode.
right click in page header section -> select section expert
select page header -> click insert
In page header a check "Underlay following sections" -> click ok.
back in design, in section "page header a" include image.
In section "page header b" include text which I would like to show over image (i.e. I am expecting to be transparent).
Hope this helps for future visitors.
There is another work around I tried and was successful. If you want the image as a watermark in your report, use your report as a sub report in the detail section of the main report and keep the image in a main report page header and use the option 'Underlay Following Sections' in the Section Expert. All the lines and texts will appear properly on top of the image.
As AR_Italy said, confirmed that wmf files are the way to go, even though SAP site says transparent images are not supported, so thank you to AR_Italy.
The only thing I would add is that these can be Exported from Adobe Illustrator as well (make sure your image has a transparent background first).
If your Image has a white background AND your lazy just check this out:
Rightclick on your report, select Report and Report options and Check "Retain Original Image Color Depth
