By default ezpubli displays the value of the field "name" in the ALT and TITLE attribute of an image.


    

I'd like to know if I can change this. I want it to display the value of the field "Caption"

I found out the template for this piece of code is
design/standard/templates/content/datatype/view/ezimage.tpl

{section show=$href}
 <a href={$href} 
  {section show=$target}target={$target}
  {/section}>
 {/section}
 <img src={$image.url|ezroot} 
width="{$image.width}" 
height="{$image.height}" 
{section show=$hspace}hspace="{$hspace}"{/section} 
border="{$border_size}" 
alt="{$image.text|wash(xhtml)}" 
title="{$image.text|wash(xhtml)}" />
{section show=$href}</a>
{/section}

So the value is the variable $image.text
But where can you define this variable?

Any suggestion that could lead to a solution would be very much appreciated.

The value of the "Alternative image text" is used here.

i found an alternative way using the field "Alternative Image Text" as explained by Tony here:
