2  RSGallery2 / General discussion / Re: Is there a way to have description NOT also appear in alt text? on: May 05, 2008, 08:38:47 PM
Ok...I found a solution.

As I thought about it more, what I really wanted was not so much a way to enter the alt text separately (which would mean more manual labor), but I wanted the alt text to use my already existing titles rather that my descriptions.  Which as it turns out is very simple...here is how, for anyone else that might be interested:

For the thumbs: 

1.  Open thumbs_table.php (or thumbs_float.php depending on which one you're using).

2.  Look for

   <img src="<?php echo $thumb->url();?>" alt="<?php echo htmlspecialchars(stripslashes($item->descr), ENT_QUOTES); ?>"/>

Change  $item->descr   to  $item->title   


For the main image box:

1.  Open display.class.php

2.  Look for

   $this->_showImageBox( $item->name, $item->title );      In this case you'll see this line in 3 clauses corresponding to the choice of no pop-up, normal pop-ups, or lightbox.  Edit all 3 or just the one that applies to your choice.

3.  Again, change $item->descr   to  $item->title

Voila! Nice, clean alt text pop-ups!

But still appear on the image display page?  Here is an example of one of mine:

http://76.12.14.108/index.php/component/option,com_rsgallery2/Itemid,88/id,200/page,inline/

The problem is that when hovering over the image or thumbnails you get a really ugly scene with the alt text pop-ups showing all the content in all the raw html glory.

The best of both worlds would be the ability to specify the alt text separately, as I don't really want to leave those blank either.  Any way to do that?

eta: I'm using 1.14.3 Alpha - SVN 649
4  RSGallery2 / General discussion / Switched from Joomlart template to Rockettheme - What would you do? on: May 02, 2008, 01:20:53 AM
Specifically from Avian II to Synapse:

http://76.12.14.108/index.php/component/option,com_rsgallery2/Itemid,88/gid,39/

Right now, I'm using Joomlart's version 1.14.0 Alpha - SVN 378, which has no search facility, and some of the navigation on some of my image display pages seems to be broken.

Should I consider switching to 1.14.3?  Would that fix my navigation problems?  Would there be any other benefits?  Would switching cause me new problems i.e. will it hose my database, or cause me to have to rebuild my galleries from scratch?  If I stick with what I have, where does that leave me as far as support?

My main reason for wanting to switch to 1.14.3 would be the built-in search facility, if I'm understanding that correctly.  But I don't think it would be worth TOO much hassle in switching, if that's the case.  Anyone else have any experience doing this?

Thanks!

Jake
