Session log — medistage broadcast gallery captions

25 May 2026 · Hasmukh with Claude · auto-published from the local journal entry. A polished narrative version can be requested in any future Claude session.

Summary

  • Hasmukh asked for captions to be added under the six images in the "our live broadcasts" gallery on medistage.medilearn.africa.
  • Confirmed the site is medistage (not staging.medilearn.africa).
  • Captions were supplied by Hasmukh one image at a time. Two images are to be replaced later, so they were left without captions for now.

Decisions

  • Wrap each gallery image in a figure element with a figcaption underneath, so each photo carries its caption inside a single grid cell.
  • For the two photos awaiting replacement, use a non-breaking space placeholder so the grid stays visually balanced (six equal-height tiles).
  • Keep the canonical theme CSS in the css.css file on disk. The medistage database has no custom theme CSS override, so no DB sync was needed.

Changes made

  • Added captions to the medistage homepage gallery:
  • Photo 1: A/Prof Jessica Opie, Haematology
  • Photo 2: A/Prof Greg Calligaro, Pulmonology
  • Photo 3: no caption (image to be replaced)
  • Photo 4: A/Prof Sipho Dlamini, Infectious Diseases
  • Photo 5: Dr Tari Papavarnavas, HIV/TB
  • Photo 6: no caption (image to be replaced)
  • Backed up the homepage row before editing to /root/backups/medistage/home-pre-captions-20260525.tsv.
  • Backed up the theme CSS file before editing to /root/backups/medistage/css-pre-captions-20260525.css.
  • Added new CSS rules (block tagged recent-sessions-captions-2026-05-25) for .recent-sessions__item and .recent-sessions__caption to style the figure wrapper and caption text.
  • Recompiled the theme CSS via the HTTPS recompile endpoint on medistage.
  • Verified the captions render on the live page. Note: the platform text processor converted the hyphens to en-dashes (cleaner typography), which Hasmukh has tentatively accepted.

Follow-ups

  • Hasmukh to send replacement photos and captions for positions 3 and 6.
  • Once received, swap the image filenames and replace the   placeholders with the new captions.
  • Confirm with Hasmukh whether he prefers en-dash or hyphen between the name and specialty.
