BorisHi,
I'm trying to retrieve the ALT attribute for each image displayed using the Coin-Slider 4 WP plugin. I'm not very experienced in javascript, but I found a lead here:
how-to-retrieve-alt and here conditional-tag-if-customfield-exists.
The code I entered into coinslider.php now looks like this:
if (have_posts()) :
$out = "<div id='coin-slider'>";
$i = 0;
$no = get_option('cs-items') ? get_option('cs-items') : 5;
$imgField = get_option('cs-image') ? get_option('cs-image') : 'csImage';
$txtField = get_option('cs-text') ? get_option('cs-text') : 'csText';
while (have_posts() && $i<$no) :
the_post();
$image = get_post_meta($post->ID, $imgField , true);
$text = get_post_meta($post->ID, $txtField , true);
$alt_text = $image; get_image_tag($alt);
$permalink = get_permalink();
$thetitle = get_the_title();
if ($image != ''){
$out .= "<a href='$permalink'>
<img src='$image' alt='$alt_text'/>
<span>
<div class='cs-title-text'>
<strong>$thetitle</strong><br />
$text
</div>
</span>
</a>
";
}
$i++;
endwhile;
$out .= "</div>";
endif;I've manually added the $alt_text line, but it's not working. Basically I'm trying to say: take the result of $image (which is the path to the image, retrieved from the csImage field) and use it to retrieve the ALT tag. A few lines below, in the img src part, I call the $alt_text function.
Does anyone have an idea how I could get those ALT attributes to be used by the browser?
Thanks!
