Online editor and alt text for images

Tuesday 20 September 2005 8:40:13 am

AFAICT while the online editor allows users to easily upload and embed images, it does not require them to provide any alt text. I realise that you can edit the object in the media folder and add the alt text there, but I'd rather users could do this at the time of inserting the image. How can I make the OE add a request for alt text?

I'm in a similar position (also a public sector client). I love the power of eZ, and so far users prefer it to the expensive commercial package used on their main site as they can do so much more.

IIRC it worked differently in 3.5. Images were uploaded seperately and there was space to input a caption and alt text at upload time. The new version is simpler for users, I'll just have to add a bit to the manual I suppose, but I'm sure they'll forget.
