Customizing Mylinks - trying to add alt tags

Hello all,

I am in the process of trying to customize the mylinkss module on my site. I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a way to get the image from the screenshot to display the text adding for the link title.

I tried alt ="<{$link.title}>" in the mylinks_lnks.html template but it adds the actual link, was thinking maybe it should be something like alt ="<{$lang.title}>" or something that may be predefined to pace the alt tags.

I am no php programmer an new to XOOPS so any advice is welcome.

Also has anyone run into problems with the images not showing up in internet explorer for mylinks screenshots. It does it with either my modified template or the default on.

site I am working on is http://www.justhotdeals.net/games it is in its beggining stages.


Thanks for any help or advice,

Tom

see what happens if you use a title= tag.

Yes, I've had problems with images not appearing in Internet Explorer. Usually has to do with something in the stylesheet. Anyone here a little more versed in css than I am should be able to give you a hand.

Thanks for the replies,

I fixed the image not appearing problem by hard coding the actual image size in the template. Seems it was coming up with width=""


I have tried a few different tags for the alt, including defining my own, but I am not really sure what I am doing with the php.

I may just be putting it in wrong or there may be something else like a > or } needed. PHP seems fussy about that stuff. :)

There seems to be references to lang_title and I thought that might work, but no luck.




Thanks again,
Tom

Sorry danielmd,

The site is still in very early stages of design. I had some things not yet enabled. It should work now.


Thanks

Thanks danielmd,

I am open for any ideas or suggestions you or anyone may have. This site is just a stepping stone to help me start working with php.

Still a lot of work to do.




Thanks again,

Tom

Never did get the Alt tags to use the website title for the link, but did manage to get the link.description to work in the for the alt tags.

Also added a script to click to zoom images.

Let me know what you think.

Re: Customizing Mylinks - trying to add alt tags

mylinks hack for title in alt tag.

mylinks folder::

edit index.php: (near the bottom) look for
'title' => $myts->makeTboxData4Show($ltitle).$new.$pop,

add
'ltitle' => $myts->makeTboxData4Show($ltitle),


should now look like
'title' => $myts->makeTboxData4Show($ltitle).$new.$pop, 'ltitle' => $myts->makeTboxData4Show($ltitle),

the same goes with the viewcat.php file (~line 142 )

edit the template file for this php file. mylinks_link.html

just add <{$link.ltitle}> where you want the title to show.
