Will 2.1.13 correct the missing alt attribute in all RokSprocket layouts that load images, including Mosaic layout? I see this thread is specifically about Features, but the problem exists in other layouts like Mosaic. Thanks.
Yes it looks like all the RokSprocket Layouts have been addressed.

- When will this 2.1.13 be released? I only see 2.1.2 available for download.

- I just upgraded to 2.1.13 and the alt attribute is still missing in the mosaic layout. I even recreated the module to be sure. What happened?

I'd like to say that this is a problem for me also. My SEO software is warning me that I have "Empty ALT texts" but I can't address this problem as rokSproket doesn't give me the option.
Thanks for any priority on this...Sam

It's working fine for me. I have RokSprocket v2.1.6 installed on Joomla 3.4.1 and using the instructions I posted these are the results I got. I've set the ALT text = the Article title alias:
Features-Showcase
<img src="/Iridescent34/images/tre_rocketlauncher/frontpage/roksprocket-features/showcase/img3.jpg" alt="article-1-features-showcase" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;">
Features-SlideShow3
<img src="/Iridescent34/images/tre_rocketlauncher/frontpage/roksprocket-features/slideshow3/img1.jpg" alt="article-1-features-slideshow-3" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;">
Mosaic-Default
<img src="/Iridescent34/images/tre_rocketlauncher/frontpage/roksprocket-mosaic/img1.jpg" alt="article-1-mosaic" class="sprocket-mosaic-image">
Strips-Apollo
<img src="/Iridescent34/images/tre_rocketlauncher/frontpage/roksprocket-strips/img1.jpg" class="sprocket-strips-apollo-image" alt="article-1-strips">
Lists-Default
<img src="/Iridescent34/images/tre_rocketlauncher/rokbox2/Fiat-500-Super-Car_thumb.jpg" class="sprocket-lists-image" alt="article-10-lists">

Dan, thanks for the info. I thought it didn't work as your previous post about a month ago said it wasn't working. Good news...But...not sure how to make it work.
I'm running Joomla 3.4.1 and RokSprocket 2.1.6, same as you. I'm using a roksprocket list. Is the best approach the one you mentioned below???
So in the interim:
1) in the Images & Links section of your article define the alt text and SAVE.
2) Go to ..\templates\rt_vermilion\roksprocket\layouts\features\themes\slideshow and save a copy of item.php
3) in the original file replace the 'alt' parameter with ' alt="<?php echo $item ->getPrimaryImage()->getAlttext(); ?>" ' so that it looks like this:
<div class="sprocket-features-img-container" data-slideshow-image>
<?php if ($item->getPrimaryLink()) : ?>
<a href="<?php echo $item->getPrimaryLink()->getUrl(); ?>"><img src="<?php echo $image->getSource(); ?>" alt="<?php echo $item->getPrimaryImage ()->getAlttext(); ?>"
style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;" /><span class="sprocket-image -overlay"></span></a>
Or does rokSproket now have direct support for this?
If so, I'll open a ticket asking how to do it if appropriate.
Thanks so much for your help. This is my main SEO problem...Sam

That example I provided was for Features - Slidshow. For Lists the item.php modification location is a little different.
In \roksprocket\layouts\lists\themes\default\item.php find at Line 26:<img src="<?php echo $item->getPrimaryImage()->getSource(); ?>" class="sprocket-lists-image" alt="" />
and replace with:<img src="<?php echo $item->getPrimaryImage()->getSource(); ?>" class="sprocket-lists-image" alt="<?php echo $item->getPrimaryImage()->getAlttext(); ?>" />
Then in \roksprocket\layouts\lists\themes\default\item.php find at Line 53:<img src="<?php echo $item->getPrimaryImage()->getSource(); ?>" class="sprocket-lists-image" alt="" />
and replace with:<img src="<?php echo $item->getPrimaryImage()->getSource(); ?>" class="sprocket-lists-image" alt="<?php echo $item->getPrimaryImage()->getAlttext(); ?>" />
