remove additional image tags

[Congerman]

Great thanks. There are quite a few $products_name in that file do I remove them all?

You'll need to hack out the $products_name variable and replace it with '' in the zen_image calls of the module that's building those images ... /includes/modules/additional_images.php

Great thanks. There are quite a few $products_name in that file do I remove them all?

Um no ... as I said, only the ones in the zen_image function calls.

I think you are about to turn a pimple into a tumour.

There is a massive down-side to hacking out the alt tags. For people who can see normally, the description rendered temporarily in the little hover box is likely to be absolutely ignored. They are not dumb... they can see what the image is showing. Just live with this (very minor) limitation within ZC. You are not going to get visitors abandoning your site in horror or disgust just because an alt tag is a little "inaccurate".

But you will be penalised elsewhere. Your site will not validate, and will also be penalised on search engines.

To me, that's a silly sacrifice.

However, as your site is in an arena (baby goods) that competes with a site of one of my clients, I am going to encourage you to go ahead with your plan... At least you won't be competing for Google SERPS with my client!
