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

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":

Code Select Expand

$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:

Code Select Expand

$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!
