Alt tags on thumbnails for bestsellers and viewed blocks

[balikdo]

Hello,

 

I'm working on PS 1.5 and i'm looking for a solution to get alt tags filled for my thumbnails on the left and right blocks, especially for "viewed products" and "best sellers".

For best sellers, i have this on my .tpl file :

<img src="{$link->getImageLink($product.link_rewrite, $product.id_image, 'small_default')}" height="{$smallSize.height}" width="{$smallSize.width}" alt="{$product.legend|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}" />

 

But on the browser, the alt tags are empty.

I read that this is because there is no legend on admin for PS 1.5. So "product.legend" is probably the issue. But i don't know what to put at this place.

If it can help, the website is www.busteshop.com.

 

Anybody could help me on this matter ?

Thanks

Chris

The easiest solution would be to change $product.legend in your code above to $product.name. If you want the product legend to be different to the product name, you'll have to do more work.

 

If the "Legend" field is missing from the Images tab of the product editor and you can't upgrade to PrestaShop v1.6, I guess you'll have add them manually to your database. Log in to phpMyAdmin and then open the ps_image_lang table, then edit the legend for each image and language ID.

Hi Rocky,

 

Sorry for my late reply and thanks for yours, i didn't get the notification of a reply. Unfortunately it doesn't help.

Would you have some other ideas?

Thanks

It works on my test site. Make sure that you edited modules/blockbestsellers/blockbestsellers.tpl inside your theme's directory, not the root directory. Also, if you have caching enabled, try clicking the "Clear cache" button on the Performance tab or disable caching.
