Alt text of images

[gene]

In the custom template, if I put the image tag inside [-- DEFINE PRODUCT --] as [-- IMAGE PRODUCT.Graphic --], can shopsite also recreate the image, say 100px x 100px? I set 100 x 100 in the Image Configure. However, when I do several test, I will still get the Original size of the image which is 500 x 500. I do this because I wanted all resized images in the [-- DEFINE PRODUCT --] with alt text.

Sample, I used <a href="[-- PRODUCT.MoreInfoURL --]"><img src="../media/[-- IMAGE PRODUCT.Graphic --]" alt="[-- PRODUCT.Field1 --]" title="[-- PRODUCT.Field1 --]"></a> where I set [-- PRODUCT.Field1 --] as the name of the product.

Coz if I use <a href="[-- PRODUCT.MoreInfoURL --]">[-- PRODUCT.Graphic --]</a>, I cannot put alt text into the image. And I dont want to Configure each image in Shopsite and put alt text.

You can build the image tags like you are doing and it should work just fine. As for sizing the images you could use the height= and width= and specify the size that you want. Note that this won't maintain the ratio of height and width so if you have an image that is 300 x 200 and you ask for it to have a width and height of 100 the image will be stretched or squished in one direction.
