Hello everyone,
Now it's time for the complete barrier-free website.
I have a question about the gantry templates I am working with. (Joomla 5.xxx).
For the menu, for example, how do I get the “aria-label in there i.e. if I only have ”Start" in the menu, I have to define an aria-label.
Are there any other possibilities?
Many thanks

You'd have override the Menu particle

Hi Matt,
I found that, I was able to set the aria label.
What I did not find, it is also displayed here when checking the accessibility, namely in the template rt-Clarity in the particle “Social Feed” here I can not set an alt tag for each image. Title yes...
This is displayed during the accessibility check.
Is there a solution for this?
Regards Traudel

- Same thing... no option in the Social Feed admin but you can override the TWIG file for it as you see fit.

images/files attached to this forum cannot have spaces in the filename otherwise we cannot view them or download them.
It does sound like you've taken the correct first steps though in copying those files to the custom override directory. - SEARCH the forum first! These boards are rich in knowledge and vast in topics. This includes searching just the 'Solved' forums, using Google, and using ChatGPT

alt attributes do not go in <a> tags, they go in <img> tags

Thank you Matt,
in germany the law for accessibility is a bit opaque, as always with the EU.
The alt tag is displayed in the lightcase:gallery, you can also see it in the socialfeed.html.twig.
