Index, Random, Most Popular Thumb 'alt' title?

[Detomah]

Ok, this particular thing is doing my head in, i've looked all over the templates and files and can not for the life of me figure out where it is...

Say you have a random product or most popular product with an image, which is displayed on the the main index and on the cateogry pages and on the product page in the sidebar and underbar cells.

Say for example that the name of the actual image file is example.jpg, so when you hover over this random product on any of these pages it shows you the alt tag example.jpg.

I don't want it to do that, I want to use an alternate alt tag, e.g. $title so that it shows the title of the product and not the name of the picture.

How can I do this, or mores to the point, where the heck is the bit of code for this, so that I could do it myself even?

The code is in pp-inc.php get_imagethumb function

if ( file_exists( $filepath ) ) {
$imgtag = "<img border=\"0\" $imgsize src=\"$fileurl$rand\" alt=\"$bigimage\" />";

but we do not pass title in that function

Thanks, I think I may have already changed that. No wonder it isn't showing if it doesn't get parsed though, lol.

Ok - "Goes off to get $title to work for it now that he know's the bit of code he's working with"

Thanks.

Yep you need to modify the function to pass $title

maybe in pp-inc.php

function get_imagethumb( $bigimage, $thecat, $theuser, $approved, $nocache=0, $avatar=0, $thumbw=0, $thumbh=0, $title ) {

then in pp-inc.php display_gallery function

$pimgtag[$count] = get_imagethumb( $features['bigimage'], $features['cat'], $features['userid'], 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, $features['title'] );

Ok, i'll give that a shot before trying anything else, after all you are the pro when it comes to these products, anything to save me some work.

Haven't tested it Just a thought off the top of my head

lol, that's ok, part of the fun of coding is trying these things out and getting them to work, if they don't straight away.

Not bad at all for off the top of your head.

2 characters away from perfect first time.

function get_imagethumb( $bigimage, $thecat, $theuser, $approved, $nocache=0, $avatar=0, $thumbw=0, $thumbh=0, $title=1 ) {

And now it works perfectly.

ok, nearly perfect. >.< lol

I noticed that it showed certain images up with the alt tag 0 so i've changed that code from $title=0 to $title="" and all is fine now.

It now shows the name of the product for those that hvae one directly attached and nothing for those with no title attached to them, such as category thumbs.
