    Default Adding Alt tags for images ?

    Is there any way to add Alt text to product images eithe rin the product page or image handler? I have read a post here that required PHP file edits which seems like a really inefficient way to do it.

    It would be great if the product page had a field added for image ALT text. i.e. image description.

    All the product images shown by a clean uncustomized install of Zen Cart will include ALT tags and TITLE tags stating the product name.
    There is no built-in facility in the v1.x series of Zen Cart to customize ALT text for each individual additional image: all share the same ALT tag. For the most part this is sufficient since the images typically are actually directly related to what the product name is set to.

    So does this mean any Images uploaded after the original install have no alt tag, or do they get assigned the product title as an alt tag?

    If you're using uncustomized Zen Cart, then the product title is used as the ALT and TITLE tag, regardless of when the images were uploaded.
