No ALT text tag!

[Peekay]

Love PHPWCMS, but I know we will be heavily criticised for not providing ALT text for images. Hope an ALT text field for the summary image and the Text with Image content-part finds it's way into next release.

this hack adds an Alt- and Title-Text for Pictures.

Nice hack for the replacement tag Many thanks for this cguenther.

I only spotted the problem when I checked my test site in Lynx. The navigation all worked well, but Lynx really needs ALT tags if the content is to make sense.

Would still like to see an additional ALT text field for users to complete when they add an image from the file centre to summaries and articles.
