How do I write alt="" text for my site Logo Image?

[SandraSD]

Hi.

I am trying to I write alt="" text for my site Logo Image.
As I understand I should be going it in /includes/languages/english/MyTemplate/header.php

in this section:
// added defines for header alt and text
define('HEADER_ALT_TEXT', 'Powered by Zen Cart :: The Art of E-Commerce');
define('HEADER_SALES_TEXT', 'TagLine Here');
define('HEADER_LOGO_WIDTH', '');
define('HEADER_LOGO_HEIGHT', '');
define('HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE', 'logo.gif');

I changed it there uploaded the file and nothing happened...
Does anyone know what I am doing wrong??

Hi,

You can change this text in the templates section:

templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/

Here you can change the ALT text of the images html inside the main page and header. (wherever the pic is called)

I changed this for my main page image in the main page (html includes folder)

It is not in your language folder

Hi, thanks for your reply.

Are you saying I can change it in includes/templates/MyTemplate/common/tpl_header.php??

I tried to do it in this section
<!--bof-header logo and navigation display-->

<div class="indent"><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT);?>"><?php echo zen_image(DIR_WS_TEMPLATE.'images/
logo.gif'); ?></a><br />
</div>

I managed to change image (logo) name, but don't see anywhere where I can input alt="" tag... for the logo

Or did I not understand you correctly??

Thanks again.

I made a mistake, the header logo differs from the main page image (which is in the template file).

The logo alt text is indeed in the language files, like this thread explains:

This tutorial provides the same information:

Thanks.

So it looks like I am back to where I started...
with the same results...

I changed it where I supposed to... in /includes/languages/english/MyTemplate/header.php

in this section:
// added defines for header alt and text
define('HEADER_ALT_TEXT', 'Powered by Zen Cart :: The Art of E-Commerce');
define('HEADER_SALES_TEXT', 'TagLine Here');
define('HEADER_LOGO_WIDTH', '');
define('HEADER_LOGO_HEIGHT', '');
define('HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE', 'logo.gif');

I uploaded the file and nothing happened...

I only managed to change image (logo) name in includes/templates/MyTemplate/common/tpl_header.php??

I did it in this section
<!--bof-header logo and navigation display-->

<div class="indent"><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT);?>"><?php echo zen_image(DIR_WS_TEMPLATE.'images/
logo.gif'); ?></a><br />
</div>

but it did not solve my other problem with alt="" tag...

Does anyone know what else could be done??

Your custom template has changed the original code in tpl_header.php, and in so doing they removed the functionality that normally would work if you simply edited the header.php language file as you had mentioned earlier.

The original code for displaying the logo in tpl_header.php is this:

    zen_image($template->get_template_dir(HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images'). '/' . HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE, HEADER_ALT_TEXT)

Replace yours with that, and then your changes to the header.php language file will take effect normally.

Remember: every addon you install may or may not have had original features removed by whoever packaged the addon ... this could be because they didn't want the feature and didn't choose to turn it off via a built-in method, or they wanted to make it work another way. Some addons are built short-sighted simply to meet an immediate need, and others are built for optimal benefit to all who might choose to use them. Your mileage may vary with each. It's a chance you take.

DrByte, you are my HERO!
It worked. Thanks :)

Hi,
Just wondering what might be wrong when the Alt text for my (non-product) images doesn't show at all, even though the text is defined?
Thanks.
