How to add automatically each image title to be in <IMAGE ALT=TITLE> attribute?

[Stramm]

from themes/sample/theme.php copy to the theme.php your using the function theme_html_picture()

find tin that function

Code Select Expand

            $pic_html .= "<img src=\"" . $picture_url . "\" class=\"image\" border=\"0\" alt=\"{$lang_display_image_php['view_fs']}\" /><br />";
and replace with

Code Select Expand

            $pic_html .= "<img src=\"" . $picture_url . "\" class=\"image\" border=\"0\" alt=\"{$lang_display_image_php['view_fs']} {$CURRENT_PIC_DATA['title']}\" /><br />";

[pea32ant]

thank you very much for very fast reply!!!    but I modified output code to:

Code Select Expand

$pic_html .= "<img src=\"" . $picture_url . "\" class=\"image\" border=\"0\" alt=\" {$CURRENT_PIC_DATA['title']} \n {$CURRENT_PIC_DATA['caption']}\" /><br />";

and another question:
how to do the same on each thumbnails?....

[pea32ant]

Hmmm, I'm sitting and testing...

sorry, but this works only on photos that have full size  (intermediate photos)
how to make it on all photos including thumbnails?

Code Select Expand

$pic_html .= "<img src=\"" . $picture_url . "\" class=\"image\" border=\"0\" alt=\" {$CURRENT_PIC_DATA['title']} \n {$CURRENT_PIC_DATA['caption']}\" />";
            $pic_html .= "</a>\n";
        } else {
            $pic_html = "<img src=\"" . $picture_url . "\" {$image_size['geom']} class=\"image\" border=\"0\" alt=\" {$CURRENT_PIC_DATA['title']} \n {$CURRENT_PIC_DATA['caption']}\">\n";

this code works for both - intermediate photos + photos without intermediate sizes

But still thinking
HOW to make it on each thumbnails?

[Stramm]

there's no save solution for that. You'll have to modify a core file include/functions.inc.php

find function display_thumbnails and modify $thumb_list[$i]['image'] to your likings

[pea32ant]

i am not php programmer,
can you help me in this?....

$thumb_list[$i]['image'] = "<img src=\"" . $pic_url . "\" class=\"image\" {$image_size['geom']} border=\"0\" alt=\"{$row['caption']}\" >";

Thanks, STRAMM for support!

On first page, there are no ALT tags for thumbnails on albums.... (filename)

Can you help me in this?...

Sorry for what may seem like a stupid question...

I'm using Hardwired (1.4.9)

I have gone to themes/sample/theme.php and found "function theme_html_picture()"

I see all the code. In looking at the themes/hardwired/theme.php file:

1) Where would one put the "function theme_html_picture()" code?
2) Why is this function not in the Hardwired theme.php file?

I'm trying to understand the programming logic so I don't ask stupid questions again.

I did make the other tweak in this thread to the thumbnails and that worked great.

@pea32ant Did you make your change in the two spots in include/functions.inc.php that call the thumbs?

I'd love to add alt tags to the cat thumbs too. Still poking around the code trying to find that.

Thanks!

gallery use a global theme file (theme.inc.php) , all functions are define on that file, by adding that function (with the same name) to your theme , you will overwrite to global setting
you can add function before ?> ( php end ) tag

Thank you for the clear explanation!

I don't understand your question in the first place. Instead of hijacking this thread, start a new thread and explain (using more words) what your actual question is or what you want to accomplish. Posting a link to your gallery in that new thread might help as well.

Sorry to bump this old thread but the ALT mod is still necessary?
It seems to be already in place in last version.
