[#6456] CBGallery - add alt attribute

Hello,

First question:

i'm trying to display alt attribute to image, that is shown in profile gallery.

I found in components\com_comprofiler\plugin\libraries\CB\Plugin\Gallery\Table\ItemTable.php -> 1340 line, where is
F.e. i would like to put a title of file in alt, like this , is there a chance to do that? I'm not sure if i can get any data from comprofiler_plugin_gallery_items in this part of code. If not, where i can do that?

----

Second question:
i can see, that gallery is displaying images in way, i don't understand. There is img src (or background-image), but after that there is URL instead file.jpg. So for example , can You tell me, where this image is generating?

I tried to figure out, and find where is function show for action item, but it's not clear for me.

Regards,
Luke

The images are output by PHP. There is no direct image access unless it's a linked image. I've added a feature ticket to add alt text to all img tag outputs in CB Gallery.

If you want to add the alt attribute your self you can, but you need to ensure whatever you add is escaped with htmlspecialchars before doing so. If unsure how to do this I recommend leaving it as is and waiting for it to be implemented.

In fact, i try to do hidden images. I add to database field "hidden" and i modified code, that when image is uploading there is a new field in form (hidden yes / no). It's working good in upload and edit.

Now i try to hide images, that have been set as hidden, that's why i asked if i can add alt to img. If i can do that, i could make

We do not support core edits and can not advise you on them. You can find all the template files for CB Gallery at the below location where you can likely make your edits where the image is output.

components/com_comprofiler/plugin/user/plug_cbgallery/templates/default/

Specifically item_container.php is all you should need to override. To do this copy the default template folder and delete everything except item_container.php and index.html. Next in CB Gallery select your new template. You can now edit it freely without changes being lost on upgrade. If you need to change activity display you'll also want to keep activity.php.

Note profile galleries can be protected by protecting the Gallery tab using CB Privacy. This will block the entire output of that gallery and its entries based of privacy. Next major CB Privacy release should allow for image by image privacy controls though.
