Subject: Web Accessibility -alttext for mainphoto possible?
first of all: thanks a lot for this marvelous extension!!!

Since we are trying to build an almost barrier free website, our pictures should have an alt and title tag . we are using DAM for our Media Management.

Is it possible somehow to generate these tags out of DAM Content or manually?

We would appreciate all ideas.

Hi Peter,

The Staff Directory does not currently support ALT or TITLE tags for the images. They are embedded in the extension. I could add alt="Staff Person Name" and Title="Staff Person Name". Would this work?

I am not sure how to integrate DAM into the Staff Directory and what fields are supported there. Any one else have experience with that?

If that would work for you, I can look to adding it to the next version of the Staff Directory. You can certainly edit the extension PHP code if you want, however it may be a huge task. If you need this right away and have PHP skills, you can try looking for the <img tag in clsss.tx_wecstaffdirectory_pi1.php.
