Alt Attribute Text for Logo

[Baa]

I've been scratching my head over this one for a few days, does anyone know if and how (if the if turns into a yes) to create alt text for the logo.

[seamus]

you mean the main site logo?
you should have some alt text written in the language files for that

is it for moostagdesigns? doesnt seem to be any alt text on that logo, can put it back on there easy enough though

if it is the moonstagdesigns logo, I'll get back to you on which files to edit

Thanks Seamus, yes it's for the site.

I've looked at several ZCs and none have alt ext for the logo, no idea why and the ZC forum doesn't really discuss it.

have a look in includes/languages/english/your_template/header.php
at line 21 you should have this:

// added defines for header alt and text
  define('HEADER_ALT_TEXT', 'Home');
  define('HEADER_SALES_TEXT', '');
  define('HEADER_LOGO_HEIGHT', '77px');
  define('HEADER_LOGO_WIDTH', '509px');
  define('HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE', 'logo.gif');

just set your alt text in there (change Home to whatever you want your alt text to say)

if you dont have a file in includes/languages/english/your_template/ called header, just copy it from includes/languages/english/
and put it in includes/languages/english/your_template/

(your_template being the name of the template you are using)

if that doesnt add the alt text, then check this file
includes/templates/your-template/common/tpl_header.php

and look for this code at around line 54

<div id="logo"><?php echo '<a href="' . HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . '">' . zen_image($template->get_template_dir(HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images'). '/' . HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE, HEADER_ALT_TEXT, HEADER_LOGO_WIDTH, HEADER_LOGO_HEIGHT) . '[/url]'; ?></div>

notice the HEADER_ALT_TEXT
that is the call to the alt text written into the header.php in your language files, if that is missing from your tpl_header.php in your template files, it wont pull the alt text on to your header image.

it should just be a matter of checking  includes/languages/english/your_template/header.php
or adding it to your template, but if that doesnt work, check the tpl_header.php in
includes/templates/your_template/common/

I have looked at all the files you mentioned and still the alt text does not change.  All the files are correct, I am using 1.3.9h with no added modules.  Any suggestions

Thanks Seamus but as Divegear said, it doesn't work.

it should work, that tutorial link only says what I've already posted

Im guessing the header in your template is quite different to the default header. It should be quite simple to fix but I'd need a look at the template to see whats been done

Thanks but I think I'll not sweat too much about this one and shelve it for a non-rainy day

Ended up doing the most sensible thing I could think of and asked the template creator, got the answer very quickly so I should have done that first  It was a simple line of code in the end
