    Media Picker alt text

    Hi,

    I was wondering if anyone has been able to extend the advanced media picker to add an extra input for alt text. I have added altText as an extra property on images. So when uploaded via the media section this works fine. But when uploaded using the mediapicker control the only fields are the name and the file.

    Any ideas?

    Hi John

    I don't think that such a picker is existing yet. But it's a very good idea indeed.

    Maybe you should add it as a feature request? Maybe it's something the uComponents gang could be talked into making? :-)

    Maybe you could add another field to the image media type called something like altText. Then in your XSLT, you can get the value of this field just like you get the umbracoFile, umbracoWidth etc.

    You would then have to type in the alt text when you upload the image, but this would still be an alternative to nothing :)

    @Kim

    I think John is talking about the possibility to add an altText to the altText property he has already added on the image node.

    When adding the image using the RTE and the improved media picker it would be nice if the media picker also showed the custom property fields so that you don't have to go to the media section and add the altText afterwards. That's a slow workflow, right? :-)

    So an improved media picker, that can add custom properties from image or file nodes would be a very cool feature indeed. :-)

    Ahh yeah, my bad. Didn't get the whole picture and that you wanted to use the advanced media picker to upload the images. My bad.

    Thanks both for your input.

    Great idea, guys. I'm sitting with the same issue. Missing an alt text property field on the standard media picker and the RTE picker, among others. It' s a pity. Has anyone requested this yet? This should be standard on all dataType media pickers IMHO.
