ALT and TITLE with zen_image code

[Website Rob]

Keeping in the spirit of the Override system I use the following code:

<?php echo zen_image(DIR_WS_TEMPLATES . $template_dir . '/images/some_image.gif'); ?>

Unfortunately, I cannot figure out how to also include a proper ALT tag and a TITLE tag.

A Forum search revealed nothing quite like what I am trying to accomplish.

Can anyone advise how to do that with the above code?

Thanks

A small alteration, adding the ALT+TITLE text as the 2nd parameter will accomplish that:

<?php echo zen_image(DIR_WS_TEMPLATES . $template_dir . '/images/some_image.gif', $text_for_Alt_and_Title_here); ?>

You could use a variable as shown above, or a literal string inside quotes.

Call me dumb but I cannot figure out how to get either working.

If I were to use a variable, where do I define it?
Using a literal did not make any change?

Could you provide an example?

Appreciate the help.

This is the function definition line:

/includes/functions/html_output.php

Line #159 : function zen_image($src, $alt = '', $width = '', $height = '', $parameters = '') {

I specify a title for an image with this, leaving alt, width and height as default:

$cat_name_display = zen_image(DIR_WS_TEMPLATE . 'buttons/' . $_SESSION['language'] . '/catimg' . $current_path . '.gif', '', '', '', 'title="' . $cat_name_display . '"');

Appreciate the feedback, Glenn.

Using what you and DrByte provided allowed me to come up with:

<?php echo zen_image(DIR_WS_TEMPLATES . $template_dir . '/images/shoppingcart.gif','Click to view Cart'); ?>

Which results with the addition of: alt="Click to view Cart" title=" Click to view Cart "

Just a note for Glenn ... the zen_image() function sets BOTH the ALT and TITLE attributes to the value passed to the $alt parameter, so adding a title attribute to the $parameters option would potentially result in a double set of title attributes in the same img tag.

What WebsiteRob has done is exactly what I had expected. :)

I was actually looking to have just a title (for accessibility) and no hover alt text, but found that either way gave both results. Didn't want to complicate my response to Rob.
