Three Alt Tags #24

Closed benabus closed 13 years ago

benabus commented 13 years ago

I noticed that there are 3 different locations for the alt tags for the images. There's two in the actual media uploader page, and there's one in the slide show itself. These need to be combined... not sure exactly where they are used or stored, though. The easiest solution that I can think of is to just have one input field submit to all the database locations, so we don't have to worry about front end stuff getting screwed up. Wordpress's database is a mess, though...

Okay, each alt tag is used in a different place. The main "Alternate Text" is used in a generic context, when you add a picture to a post. The second "Alt Text" is used a default alt text for when you add a picture to a slide show. The 3rd Alt text is used in a slideshow specific context... different on every slideshow/post.

Basically, I added a note on the 2nd and 3rd fields to describe what, in more detail their purpose. I used some jquery to make the 1st field be hidden and to automatically get the text from the 2nd (default) alt text... thereby making the two fields have the same data.

could we add a little "?" by each field in the UI that, when hovered over, would show a tooltip explaining what that field is for? might be helpful for people who don't know what "alt text" means.
