How to change the alt & title attributes for stored imag

agemmell · Post by **agemmell** » Thu 9. Mar 2006, 18:42

Hello again friendly, helpful phpwcms forum!

I've added a couple of images to my site using the "test w/image" content part. The image is stored in the database via the lovely phpwcms file upload facility.

My question/problem is that I have no control over the alt & title tags when I add an image in this way. Instead it defaults to the image name so I get a rather ugly "filename.gif" tooltip whenever I hover over that image!

Is it possible to change the alt/title attributes to a different value when using a "text w/image" content part? How do I do this?

Or is the only way to specify an alt/title value to set it implicitly by using an image RepTag?

Thanks.

use the imagecaption-field of the images in the following way

For the imagecaption under the Image:
Imagecaption

For an imagecaption and an alt-Text:
image-caption|alt-Text of the Image

For an imagecaption + alt-Text + jump to another page inside your Site, in the same window:
image-caption|alt-Text of the Image|index.php?ALIASNAME

For an imagecaption + alt-Text + jump to another page outsite of your Site, in the same window:
image-title|alt-Text of the Image|http://url.de

For an imagecaption + alt-Text + jump to another page outsite of your Site, in a new window:
image-caption|alt-Text of the Image|http://url.de _blank

If you wann have only an alt-Text use:
|alt-Text

If you wann have an internal link without caption or alt-text use:
||index.php?ALIASNAME

and so on......

If you need more than one Image... take as many lines as images

Each image must have its own Line

That I know there is no way to put the title attribute but the ALT is easy

just put

Code: Select all

|YOUR_TEXT

in caption field
(for title attribute you can hack the core code but is it worth it?)

Cheers

EDIT: WOW pepe was faster and more complete
