Alt Tags for images

General Forums General Questions
#1

I am trying to figure out how to create the title tags and alt tags for images. When you view the source on an image you can see that the is a field for alt and title but I do not know how to get it to show:








I went to the Product >General > Images > Alternative text/title



And I entered some text there but that did not seem to do anything.

Hi



if you mean version 3 then go to you skins/basic/customer/common_templates/images.tpl



find line 150 and change from


{$alt_text}



to


{$product.product|unescape}



This way you wont have to worry about filling in any alt fields as its using the product title for alt and title tag. Thats a very good SEO factor, as the image name is very relevant to the product title.

Hello,



Unfortunately this does not work for me. I have cleared the cache twice, but no success.



I would like to have the thumbnails on the product page and the enlarged image on the product page to have Alt-text. Automatically using the product title would be great!



Any suggestions on how to proceed?



Regards,

JJ.

If you add this to imege.tpl, after i clean my cache, filters do not work anymore ( is not showing all products )

If i add a new product, even if i clear cache is not listed in filters options.
