Is the function theme_html_picture() in your theme.php file? If not, copy/paste it there.
Then, find:

Code: [Select]

$pic_title = $lang_display_image_php['view_fs'] . "\n==============\n" . $pic_title;
$pic_html .= "<img src=\"" . $picture_url . "\" class=\"image\" border=\"0\"
In the alt tag, change

Code: [Select]

{$lang_display_image_php['view_fs']}
To

{$CURRENT_PIC_DATA['title']}: {$lang_display_image_php['view_fs']}

Find

$pic_html = "<img src=\"" . $picture_url . "\" {$image_size['geom']} class=\"image\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" /><br />\n";

Change

Code: [Select]

alt=\"\"
To

Code: [Select]

alt=\"{$CURRENT_PIC_DATA['title']}\"


Find

Code: [Select]

        $pic_html = "<a href=\"{$picture_url}\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"document_link\"><img src=\"".$pic_thumb_url."\" border=\"0\" class=\"image\" /></a>\n<br />";
Change

Code: [Select]

class=\"image\" />
To

Code: [Select]

class=\"image\" alt=\"{$CURRENT_PIC_DATA['title']}\" />

It works fine for me.


And I think I forgot to mention, but:
Judging by the topic name, you're trying to optimize SEO. Having the filename in the alt tag won't help much, if at all. Also, alt tags can only have one line (as far as my knowledge goes).

Right click on any image (not thumbnail) in the gallery, and look under "alternate text", it works fine [in firefox...in IE, just hold your mouse over the image]

i need all these functions started from thubnails to larg pictures, and you are working only on larg pictures nor thumbnails, in my view, if you search the images on google or yahoo, u can also find the thumbnails, and one thing more when we upload new images, and goole or any search engine cache our main index pages, that time all text, headings ,comments and alt tags of any type wil also help to catch specific keywords with these alt tags, so i need it starts from thumbnails to all pictures.
may be i have less knowledge than you regarding alt tags, if yes then pleas let me know know and do as i wish.
thanks

[artoonie]

I'm going to try to understand this...

You need them both on thumbnails and large pictures?
Like I said, this mod is only for the large pictures.

if you search the images on google or yahoo, u can also find the thumbnails

This is true, but you don't need to return thumbnails in a search. Google makes the thumbnails for you anyway, it'd be a waste.

and one thing more when we upload new images, and goole or any search engine cache our main index pages

Yes, as well as all other pages being linked to

that time all text, headings ,comments and alt tags of any type wil also help to catch specific keywords with these alt tags, so i need it starts from thumbnails to all pictures.

Search engines will look for specific keywords?
Well, yeah. That is happening though, just not with thumbnails.

may be i have less knowledge than you regarding alt tags, if yes then pleas let me know know and do as i wish.

I'm not really sure, you seem to have some knowledge, but I couldn't understand most of your post.





If you're saying you want them on thumbnails, I really don't think that would benefit you SEO'ly.

[aftab1003]

YES

This is true, but you don't need to return thumbnails in a search. Google makes the thumbnails for you anyway, it'd be a waste.

You are right, but a thumbnail also give a visit to your site from a search engine..

Search engines will look for specific keywords?

offcourse, we dont know 100% of search term and keywords, and may a alt tag hit from a keyword..

If you're saying you want them on thumbnails, I really don't think that would benefit you SEO'ly.

but i think, and i precticed this technique, and give me 45% more traffic than ever.. and you should analyze your pages, and then u find that that analyzers five information about your alt tags of images.

but
pleas any one help me regarding my issue.

[artoonie]

YES

That was a translation. I explained why I can't/won't.

You are right, but a thumbnail also give a visit to your site from a search engine..

How will having visitors seeing a 100x100pixel thumbnail benefit your site?
It's really not worth it, and I'm not going to waste my time making it. If you want it, ask someone else or figure it out yourself. Sorry. I've explained why I won't do it and I'm telling you it won't be that beneficial.

offcourse, we dont know 100% of search term and keywords, and may a alt tag hit from a keyword..

The same keywords are on the large pictures anyway.

You are right, but a thumbnail also give a visit to your site from a search engine..

If someone searches for "hello" and your image comes up, the thumbnail would probably make the real image less likely to get clicked. So, in a way, it's NOT beneficial.

but i think, and i precticed this technique, and give me 45% more traffic than ever.. and you should analyze your pages, and then u find that that analyzers five information about your alt tags of images.

No.

pleas any one help me regarding my issue.

I did.

[aftab1003]

i think we are out of way, and not discussing on our issue, so pleas to the real point.

any way, where is the ADMIN team....

@ ADMINs , help me

[guilinexpat]

Great, that was what I was searching for.

Could I possibly replace the  {$CURRENT_PIC_DATA['title']}  with {$CURRENT_PIC_DATA['keywords']}  to use the keywords as alt tags?

[guilinexpat]

Sorry, one more question: I could only find theme.inc.php Is this the file meant?

[Joachim Müller]

No, never edit include/themes.inc.php. Only edit themes/yourtheme/theme.php. If a particular function or variable definition that you want to see modified in your custom theme doesn't exist there, copy the corresponding section (and only that section) from themes/sample/theme.php.
This has been explained many times over and is being covered in the docs.
Additionally, we have a strict "one question per thread" policy and a policy that you mustn't attempt to hijack other's threads. You did all that, so please read up board rules and respect them in the future. Thanks.

Locking

[Joachim Müller]

guilinexpat by PM:

Sorry, but the second question was just a clarification on the instruction on the top.  Shall I open an extra thread for that?

Furthermore, if you don' t want people to post on older threads, you could lock it after a few days inactivity

I do not expect to get professional help from a free software, but "Freundlichkeit hat noch niemandem geschadet"

So long

Respecting board rules doesn't hurt either.

Der moderator,

please delete my account. I do not wish to participate in this community anymore

Thank you

Did as suggested and deleted the account. Just not using the account any longer would have done the same though.
