You said it yourself, team members are busy. Do not expect an answer within a few days. Give it a week at least. The people from the dev team and other supporters are all doing this in their spare time and unpaid. Patience is a virtue here ;D
Hello cong,
Your question helped me to solve the alt tag problem! :) (With the links you provided a your first post.)
So I try to help you forward although I am not any expert on this.
You have to change your Coppermine files, that are in your server with find and replace method.
Go to to your server with a FTP-software, find your Coppermine files there. Open folder "include".
Inside the folder include find the file: "themes.inc.php". Open it with a text editor software. And now you can edit this with find and replace if you want Coppermine to write alt text with normal and intermediate images.
I wanted to write both title and keywords to the image alt tag, (I do not know if this is a smart move for google image search. but I hope it is... :) )
So I searched following lines from "themes.inc.php":
$pic_html .= "<img src=\"" . $picture_url . "\" class=\"image\" border=\"0\" alt=\"{$lang_display_image_php['view_fs']}\" /><br />";
$pic_html .= "</a>\n";
} else {
$pic_html = "<img src=\"" . $picture_url . "\" {$image_size['geom']} class=\"image\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" /><br />\n";
And replaced it with:
$pic_html .= "<img src=\"" . $picture_url . "\" class=\"image\" border=\"0\" alt=\" {$CURRENT_PIC_DATA['title']}, keywords: \n {$CURRENT_PIC_DATA['keywords']}\" />";
$pic_html .= "</a>\n";
} else {
$pic_html = "<img src=\"" . $picture_url . "\" {$image_size['geom']} class=\"image\" border=\"0\" alt=\" {$CURRENT_PIC_DATA['title']}, keywords: \n {$CURRENT_PIC_DATA['keywords']}\">\n";
After you have made this find and replace action, you have to move/save the modified file to your web server.
Good luck!
