 * i love this plugin, i just miss one feature – it would be great if it would be
   possible to make clickable the full wp-caption div, not only the image.

 * Hi thomask,
 * Thank you for using Auto ThickBox Plus.
 * I have no idea what “the full wp-caption div” is. wp-caption is class attribute
   value?
 * ThickBox window closes by clicking an image by default. So do you want to close
   the window by clicking TB_caption div? Or you want to jump to another page?

 * if you add the image with caption, it creates something like
 *     ```
       <div id="attachment_544" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://money.mediacentrum.cz/wp-content/uploads/money-s3_money-dnes.png" class="thickbox no_icon" title="money-s3_money-dnes"><img class="size-medium wp-image-544" title="money-s3_money-dnes" src="http://money.mediacentrum.cz/wp-content/uploads/money-s3_money-dnes-300x232.png" alt="Money S3: úvodní obrazovka Money Dnes" width="300" height="232"></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Money S3: úvodní obrazovka Money Dnes</p></div>
       ```
   
 * problem is, that for opening thickbox, i need to click that a href, but very 
   often it would make more sense, if it would be possible to click the whole div,
   so even the caption text

 * HTML code above is generated by `[caption]` shortcode. So your request is about
   not Auto ThickBox Plus but WordPress feature. I guess you use “Insert into Post”
   button in “Add Media”.
 * To open href URL by clicking wp-caption div, you need to modify `img_caption_shortcode()`
   function in `wp-includes/media.php` file, or to hook `img_caption_shortcode` 
   filter with [add_filter()](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_filter)
   function.

 * yes, it is via standard insert into post.
 * i know i could use img_caption_shortcode filter, actualy i was doing it for standard
   opening images, but i was wondering that it would be much better to just modify
   your script, so it will not hook on jQuery(‘a.thickbox’), but (also) on jQuery(‘
   a.thickbox’).parent(‘wp-caption’) selector.

 * Well, you resolved the problem in your blog.
 * I wonder whether other users want clickable caption. I often use right-click 
   search in Google Chrome. But it is hard to highlight texts if texts are clickable.
   I may implement the feature if there is same request from other people.
 * Additionally, I don’t want to write codes for WordPress to thickbox.js. I intend
   to keep thickbox.js standalone as much as possible.
