I am using the latest version of EasyBlog in Joomla v3.2.

The main image defaults to a title pop up using the title of the blog but there is nowhere in the admin panel to amend the title pop up or add an alt attribute and/or link to a new location from the main blog image.

I believe those features are (hoepfully) coming in EB v4.0 (from a much earlier thread), but is there somewhere (in the database table perhaps) I can add the alt, link and revised title pop up detail to the image code?
Hello Richard,

If you are using the blog image, it will actually use the blog post's title for the image. This is the current default behavior. You can modify the default image title by editing the theme file /components/com_easyblog/themes/default/blog.item.php and locate the codes below,



				<?php if( $row->getImage() && $this->getParam( 'blogimage_frontpage') ){ ?>

					<a href="<?php echo EasyBlogRouter::_('index.php?option=com_easyblog&view=entry&id='.$row->id); ?>" title="<?php echo $this->escape( $row->title );?>" class="blog-image float-l mrm mbm">

						<img src="<?php echo $row->getImage()->getSource( 'frontpage' );?>" />

					</a>

				<?php } ?>

Cheers Mark, will the alt, link and title change options be available in EB 4.0? I always use them in images and it would be useful to have the option in the main image.

Hello Richard,

Sorry for the late reply. I will put this down in the request list for the EasyBlog Team to review it.

Thanks!

Thank you Adelene, it is something similar to what is available in the core Joomla article admin, as all options are necessary depending on the context of the image (see attached):
