utilizing alt tags

[WickedElf]

Hello,

I checked the FAQ and searched and didn't see this covered, but it seems like it should be easy (and that I'm just looking in the wrong spots), so hopefully someone can help me out.

Right now when the mouse hovers over any of the thumbnails, it says a bunch of file info (filename, size, date uploaded, etc...), which for example is

Code Select Expand

alt="velvet002.jpg" title="Filename : velvet002.jpg Filesize : 49KB Dimensions : 400x195 Date added : May 04, 2005"/code] in the code.

How can I change it so the alt and title tags read something like just the Album name?  It's just a little annoying when people hover over something like one of the random images or last added... and have to click on it to find out what it is.

Thanks!

what's your actual question?

Whoops, sorry.  I screwed up with the code tag and my question went into there. 

It was:

Actually, it's not the alt attribute, but the title attribute, but anyway:
edit include/functions.inc.php, find

Code Select Expand

                        $pic_title =$lang_display_thumbnails['filename'].$row['filename']."\n".
                                $lang_display_thumbnails['filesize'].($row['filesize'] >> 10).$lang_byte_units[1]."\n".
                                $lang_display_thumbnails['dimensions'].$row['pwidth']."x".$row['pheight']."\n".
                                $lang_display_thumbnails['date_added'].localised_date($row['ctime'], $album_date_fmt);within the function definition of

Code Select Expand

// Prints thumbnails of pictures in an album
function display_thumbnails($album, $cat, $page, $thumbcols, $thumbrows, $display_tabs)and replace with

Code Select Expand

                        $pic_title = $album_name;(not tested though)

Hi,

I'm trying to use same way to get picture title, caption, and date added in the alt tag, with no success...

Instead of:

Code Select Expand

$pic_title =$lang_display_thumbnails['filename'].$row['filename']."\n".
        $lang_display_thumbnails['filesize'].($row['filesize'] >> 10).$lang_byte_units[1]."\n".
        $lang_display_thumbnails['dimensions'].$row['pwidth']."x".$row['pheight']."\n".
        $lang_display_thumbnails['date_added'].localised_date($row['ctime'], $album_date_fmt);

I put this:

Code Select Expand

$pic_title =$row['title']."\n".

        $row['caption']."\n".

        $lang_display_thumbnails['date_added'].localised_date($row['ctime'], $album_date_fmt);

It looks ok on an album display, but with toprated and most viewed, only date added is shown.

I'd really appreciate any help.
