Thanks a lot for a quick response!

Your suggestion seems to work fine, except that $Title doesn't seem to be the name of the variable holding the image title (the alt field in the generated html is still blank).

So, anyone knows the name of the image title variable? (or where to find it in the documantation...)

Hey superautomatic,

You should be able to do something like this:

<% if Photo %>
   <% control Photo.SetWidth(130) %>
      <img src="$URL" alt="$Title"/>
   <% end_control %>
<% end_if %>

Alt text on images

superautomatic — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 20:41:56 +1300

Hi,

I am using resized images in a couple of templates, and was wondering how to set the alt attribute on those.

I've extended the Page class with

static $has_one = array(
'Photo' => 'Image',
);

and I call the image in the template with:

<% if Photo %>
$Photo.SetWidth(130)
<% end_if %>

And thats all fine. But say I would like to use the image title (set in Files & Images) as the alt text for the image - How do I do that?
