Image accreditation
Permalink 1 user found helpful
Hi,
The images my client has supplied have come from online free image libraries which require accreditation of the original photographer.
Where can I put this information?
I thought I'd put it in the alt or description tags.
When you add an image through CK editor, you can manually add information for the alt tag, but in other areas, like the banner images, they are background images anyway and also there's nowhere to add those tags in.
Can anyone tell me how best to get around this?
Many thanks,
Allison

I'd put the attribution in the footer
Thanks for your reply :)
There's probably about 100 images throughout the site though!
I'm also worried about accessibility and SEO...
There is already provision to add an image description in File manager, and I've managed to add a 'Title' attribute for image properties in there too.
But for accessibility, images should have Title, description and alt tags, and it doesn't seem to pull any of that information through.

I thought you wanted to have an attribution to the site you take the pictures from, not one for each image. Can you make a page called Attribution or something and list all sources there?
Or if you want the user to see the attribution, do you want to put it in a tooltip and show it on hover, e.g.

The images have come from a few different online image libraries, photographer and site need to be included in each case.
I'm not sure how to get around the accessibility issue though - images should really have alt tags and descriptions. I could manually add them where they have been put into ordinary content blocks. But some images are within different type of blocks.
I just don't understand why there's provision to add description in File Manager and then when you add an image it's not automatically picked up from there.
Just makes it very laborious.
Thanks for suggestion of separate page might be a solution to cover for image copyright/licensing on Jumbotron and other blocks. I might end up having to do that.

My preference would have been to stencil accreditation in a corner before uploading. That way it can't be easily separated from the image, by intent or mistake.
A batch of the same accreditation could be done as a batch in Photoshop or through the CLI with imagemagick.

if you use the core image block there is a place for all this. If you install:https://www.concrete5.org/marketplace/addons/tallacmans-tasty-templa...
you will have a custom template that will display the title.

Thanks for your suggestions everyone. :)
I think I'm going to have to use a combination of these methods as images are in different types of blocks and I'm trying to address both accessibility for WC3 compliance as well as the photographer accreditation.
