    Roksprocket no use alt="" for images!

    Posted 9 years 11 months ago
    • i'm just see html code on my site, and i see error for search engines - module Roksprocket (v. 2.1.6) no use alt="" for images!


      this code from Roksprocket module on my site:
      <a href="/article1"><img src="/images/stories/myimage.jpg" alt="" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;"></a>

      I think, best way - this is use "Title" for image tag alt=" ".

    • Please do not post extensions/template specific questions in the "Free Joomla Stuff" forum. You should post in the extension forum or template forum as appropriate. Most of these forums are for members who have a current PAID membership. Our priority is always to assist paying members.

      Thank you for your understanding.

      Your membership appears to have expired. Support requires a current subscription.

      If that is a Joomla data provider for the roksprocket and you are taking the images from the "images & links" tab of the article - then that is the place where you add the alt tag information. If not, then you will have to edit/create the roksprocket override for the layout that you are using in the template that you are using.

      i'm use Joomla provider and chose image from "MediaManager".

      this is BUG, because this component no use alt=" " for images, chose from "MediaManager".

      code i see in html:
      <li class="sprocket-features-index-1">
      	<div class="sprocket-features-img-container" data-slideshow-image>
      									<a href="/page"><img src="/images/stories/image.jpg" alt="" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;" /></a>
      						</div>
      alt=""

      all settings in Roksprocket for Joomla article like "Title, Description" (exclude for image) is Default.

      p.s. this is free extension, and this forum category open for everyone. before i'm renew my subscription, i need know, this BUG is solve.

      this is no my personal problem, this is real BUG in component. if component no generate alt="" for image, this is no my problem. this is no good component.

    • First, let me iterate whilst our extensions are free, support is not. Our priority is always to assist paying members. Each of the extensions has it's own forum. These forums are only accessible to paying members. You have posts in the "free stuff" forum which is not intended for extension/template specific questions.

      Getting back to you issue.

      1. Roksprocket use joomla media manager to select and image. But you're misunderstanding the fields in the media manager. They are "helper" fields. When you access media manager from an article editor completing these fields helpt to build an html statement which is inserted into the article. The value is not inserted into the database anywhere (other than the article html).
      2. You can store the alt value in the database though and to do that you used the "image & links" tab of an article. In there you can add an intro image and full image and add an ALT value.
      3. Roksprocket can use the values stored in the database (see 2 above). But it does not take any notice of the values you may put in media manager in the helper fields since you are not building an html tag, you're only selecting an image which roksprocket stores the reference to in the database.

      So, there are two choices:
      1. use the image & links tab in your articles and roksprocket can use this and you will get an ALT tag.
      OR
      2. your can alter/create the roksprocket override for the layout/theme that you are using in the template that you are using. In that override you can write a little php to use the title field in roksprocket as the ALT tag as well as it's normal use as the title proper. I have done this before for several of our members and it's not a hard thing to do.

      So, it's not a bug, it works as intended. and if you want option 2 above we can help you to achieve that to get the result that you want.
