Phil_Malaysia Posted October 17, 2013 Author Share Posted October 17, 2013 (edited) Hello Vekia, The website is http://kidstoysmalaysia.com.my when I use SEOQuake to analyze my home page. SEOQuake shows 156 missing alt's out of 164 images. Here's the URL of another tool I use to check the alt's http://www.feedthebot.com/tools/alt/ Thanks, Phil Edited October 17, 2013 by Phil_Malaysia (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vekia Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 hello it's not related to update. it's related to your theme and modules that you use you have to edit all files related to images. you have to add there alt="" tags manually. there is no other way.

vekia Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 you will have to edit several .tpl files - product-list.tpl (located in your theme directory) - homefeatured.tpl (located in homefeatured module) ... and other files where <img> tag appears it will ba a little hard and time consuming work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil_Malaysia Posted October 18, 2013 Author Share Posted October 18, 2013 Hello Vekia, When I edit the files I'll use a variable for the alt img tabs and not a static variable right? Just verifying with you (I'm a wannabe programmer). Thanks, Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoKr Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Dear Phil and Vekia I have got the same problem with my theme. I notice when I activate default theme in 1562 all is fine. But with my payed for theme that is said to be based 99%+ on the default theme I ran into this missing alt tab too. So, please, in a nutshell, since the forum is overwhelmed with this question and I am still not sure: 1. Default PS install 1562 has the featured.tpl in base/modules/featured/ and in base/themes/default/modules/featured When we edit do we only and exclusively have to edit the one in ourtheme/modules/featured? If so, can't we just compare default featured.tpl (base/themes/default/modules/featured) with the one of our theme? I tried that: default: <a href="{$product.link|escape:'html'}" title="{$product.name|escape:html:'UTF-8'}" class="product_image"><img src="{$link->getImageLink($product.link_rewrite, $product.id_image, 'home_default')|escape:'html'}" height="{$homeSize.height}" width="{$homeSize.width}" alt="{$product.name|escape:html:'UTF-8'}" my theme: <img src="{$link->getImageLink($product.link_rewrite, $product.id_image, 'home_default')|escape:'html'}" alt="{$product.legend|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}" /> Since I learned in the forum that 'legend' is deprecated since PS1.5x I tried this... So I changed it to: <img src="{$link->getImageLink($product.link_rewrite, $product.id_image, 'home_default')|escape:'html'}" alt="{if !empty($product.legend)}{$product.legend|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}{else}{$product.name|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}{/if}" title="{if !empty($product.legend)}{$product.legend|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}{else}{$product.name|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}{/if}" {if isset($homeSize)} width="{$homeSize.width}" height="{$homeSize.height}"{/if} /> Mh, did not work. It was just a test since it would have allowed much more. E.g. if $product.name empty then use $short.description or so But, since I am no coder and have no clue I am doing I have to use the $product.name var exclusively. Moreover, since I do not know about an override or so or a db hack, I have to replace all $product.legend in my theme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
val_carter Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 (edited) Hello, I had the problem that Prestashop in 1.5.x has'nt the possibilite of editing the title of the product's images. This value is in the tabla ps_image_lang in the field called legend, and in this table exist the field lang for the languages you have in your store. Well, I've studied a little how the change position method worked in the image tab and I edited it for having an input in every image and be able to edit the image's title (I loaded a lot of products and imagens with a cvs file). Problems: 1- the value you save for the title is the same for diferents languages (in my case is not a problem but if you have several languages you have to introduce a sql and use the value of the lang). 2- You have to edit the title image by image ( but to do it in the database is impossible). The steps: ** In the file images.tpl, the lines: - 98: We modify the line for having an input: <input id="leyenda_image_id" name="leyenda_image_id" value="legend"/> - 112: We add an icon for saving the title after of the delete link (Ive used a "|" as separator): | <a href="#" class="update_product_image" > <img src="../img/admin/edit.gif" alt="{l s='Save this image'}" title="{l s='Save this image'}" /> - 254: before $('.delete_product_image').die().live('click', function(e)...... we add the next function: function afterUpdateLegend(data) { showSuccessMessage("Done"); } -277: We add after the delete method a new method: $('.update_product_image').die().live('click', function(e) { e.preventDefault(); id = $(this).parent().parent().attr('id'); if (confirm("{/literal}{l s='Save?' js=1}{literal}")) doAdminAjax({ "action":"updateLegend", "id_image":id, "legend" : {/literal}$('#leyenda_'+id).val(){literal}, "token" : "{/literal}{$token}{literal}", "tab" : "AdminProducts", "ajax" : 1 }, afterUpdateLegend ); }); ** In the file AdminProductsController, lines:-1528 We add this function: public function ajaxProcessUpdateLegend() { $this->display = 'content'; $res = true; $image = new Image((int)Tools::getValue('id_image')); $image->legend = Tools::getValue('legend'); $res &= $image->update(); if ($res) $this->jsonConfirmation($this->_conf[26]); else $this->jsonError(Tools::displayError('An error occurred while attempting to delete the product image.')); } There are several parts we can remove from the code, but it works and now I can't test it or improve it, but may it can help to anyone. Please, make a backup of the files before try to change, regards. Edited December 10, 2015 by val_carter (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
