hey guys,
2 questions about current workflow of easyblog images:

1) right now when using blog image there's no "alt" tag generated - would be nice to see that in next version. A great way would be to have a simple text field (like the copyright one) to enter some informations which is then displayed below the image and would also be used as "alt" value.

2) when uploading an image easyblog generates different versions of this pic (perhaps this workflow will be changed in the future?). I was a little bit thoughtless at the beginning so I ended up with lots of big images now. To do a cleaning I'd prefer to replace them with edited pics (same name) but other values. Is it safe to do that or is easyblog storing some other values then the filename as well to identify the pic like size, dimensions and so on.. which could generate problems when replacing these images?

thanks and best regards, alex
Hello,

is here any information on 1?
Stillit is not possible to set copyright or alt information.
alt tag is important for SEO and copyright information gets more importan, as for example depositphotos declares, that copyright should be displayed next to the image (in category and blog view)

However this is already possible with th ecutomization of normal images. there I can set an alt tag as well as a caption.

So when will this become possible for blog images?

Hello Martin,

If you set a copyright text, you can actually add this in your theme file. Locate the codes below,



				<!-- Blog Image -->

				<?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' );?>" alt="<?php echo $this->escape( $row->title );?>" />

					</a>

				<?php } ?>


Add the code below into the code above,



<?php echo JText::_('COM_EASYBLOG_COPYRIGHTS_PREFIX') . $row->copyrights ?>

Hello Peter,

There's already an alt tag for the blog image as you can see here,



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

Hello, the alt text just pulls the blog article title and you cannot customize it. We want to be able to customize this.

I would like to request that this be added into the next version of EasyBlog. Best place to put it would be a field under where you upload the blog image for "alt text."
