ALT Images

[reighley]

Is there a way to bulk updating of the alt tag for images within shopsite?

Trying to basically add the product name for all of our product to the alt tag of the product images.

Thanks

The only way to add/edit the alt text of the image file that ShopSite uses when displaying an image is to do it through the Edit Image Attributes option of Images.

You can however create the entire url for the images in your store pages in a custom template and doing that you could use one of the product fields to contain the Alt text you want to use.
So instead of using the tag
[-- product.graphic --]
you would use something like
<img src="[-- store.output_url --]/[-- image product.graphic --]" alt="[--product.name --]" width="315" height="31" vspace="0" hspace="0" border="0">

It would be up to you to specify the height and width of the image which ShopSite reads from the actual image when creating the file it uses for displaying the image.
