make thumbnail image has no alt text

All the other little icons that were added in this version have alt text so you can hover over them and see what the heck they are for the makethumbnail one doesnt

make thumbnail one??

The alt text in a thumbnail is clearly marked as the image filename if I hover over my thumb I see filenames. Now remember if your using an overlay image there is no alt the image is the overlay.

its this one

You can see the hover text for the print image

but nothing for the one below - highlighted

So not thumbnails your talking about one of the new images

Make sure you have uploaded your new language file. There is the alt text on that image that I show on my install and this is the language strings.

$Globals['pp_lang']['makeindex'] = "Make Index Thumb";
$Globals['pp_lang']['removealbum'] = "Remove Album Thumb";

I uploaded everything ...

confirmed that $Globals['pp_lang']['makeindex'] = "Make Index Thumb"; is in the language file on the server

Silver_2000 · October 2nd, 2007, 11:09 AM

Also confirmed that it is in the source for the page
As it turns out
It shows in IE but NOT in Firefox
Here is the source

It appears that the TITLE is whats missing not the alt text - in not a programmer but it appears that every other image in the series has a title associated

Well your alt is in the page source

If I hover over that icon I see MAKE INDEX THUMB.

try it in firefox

Chuck S · October 2nd, 2007, 11:17 AM

yes works fine on my site in 3 different browsers

I dont see why you think there is a missing title here as that would be incorrect there is just a space like every other line.

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

I added "missing title"

the code for every other picture in the source shows a TITLE tag except that one

I was just trying to get MY site working in firefox

Chuck S · October 2nd, 2007, 11:40 AM

The alt text shows fine. I see MAKE INDEX THUMB when I hover over the link. The title declarations have nothing to do with the alt text shown to you when looking at them. They are there to distinguish the links and make things work with ajax. You dont need a title aspect on make index thumb etc because that is a link to editphoto script it is not AJAX.

I hope that clarifies the confusion. You tell you you dont see MAKE INDEX THUMB when hovering over that link?

Silver_2000 · October 2nd, 2007, 12:05 PM

On 2 diff computers the image in question shows nothing when you hover over it in firefox

It shows alt text when you over over it in Internet explorer

Chuck S · October 2nd, 2007, 12:42 PM

Okay well it does on my site on this site and about any other site I have admin access to so I can see it with no issues. You can as well send me your admin login to support@photopost.com

My suggestion then would be to ensure you have downloaded the latest build and have ALL the new files uploaded.

Silver_2000 · October 2nd, 2007, 05:46 PM

Dloaded the build ealier today - I assume thats late enough
Never ran any betas. or RCs

I deleted everything but the data and uploads folders and uploaded all the new files - did a compare from my config file to the new one and moved my settings over to the new one and uploaded it

I uploaded my custom images and my CSS file ..

The issue still remains. I understand that it works on your site - Im looking for help getting it working on mine... I email you login

Michael P · October 2nd, 2007, 05:52 PM

You could modify showphoto.php at line 1004 to read:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

Silver_2000 · October 2nd, 2007, 07:52 PM

I dloaded the code again - nuked the server files and reapllied over the code I dloaded this morning

The build says it was from 4 days ago BUT the issues I reported seem to be fixed

THANKS

Chuck S · October 3rd, 2007, 09:33 AM

Yes we have been working on fixing all open issues and as of last night they all should be completely fixed.

Silver_2000 · October 3rd, 2007, 09:35 AM

GREAT
Thanks !!!

Silver_2000 · October 5th, 2007, 08:58 AM

Found one more

"Download Favorites as ZIP" is not showing up in Firefox when you hover over

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

either

I think the icons are cool - its just that my users will expect to be able to tell at a glance what they are for - I run 1024x1280 resolution and the icons are so tiny that you cant tell by the picture.. ( the floppy image is EASY to see, its also a litttle larger )

Thanks
