Lightgallery: Caption On/Off toggle

[MatteoZorro]

Hi,
The title says almost everything: is it possible to have an On/Off toggle for caption?

In my photo-blog I often use long captions to tell the story, and when seen on a phone they can easily cover half of the photo. It would be great if the user could make the caption disappear after reading.
Thank you

I agree with this feature request because I have the same one (see https://github.com/sachinchoolur/lightGallery/issues/371).

Hello sachinchoolur,
First, thank you for writing this great javascript module! Also, if you added this feature for toggling captions I would make use of that feature.
Best,
Alex

Hello everyone,
Can this help someone to make the plugin?

I am currently working on a plugin for lightgallery ("lg-info" for now) that a) toggles the title/caption on off and additionally toggles exif information on off (currently moving away from 3 state button to 2 simple buttons inside toolbar).
I wonder if it makes sense to move the caption toggle into a plugin (with extended functionality) or include it as a simple switch into lightgallery.

May be an option like hideBarsDelay but for caption. Thanks!

Hi! I'll show you my solution. If you want to force hiding caption bar, you can add to the lightgallery css file :
.lg-hide-items .lg-sub-html { opacity: 0; -webkit-transform: translate3d(0, 10px, 0); transform: translate3d(0, 10px, 0); }
