Hi Michael,

Yes this is an open issue at the moment with Umbraco:

see: http://issues.umbraco.org/issue/U4-6193

the alternative text is never passed back from the media picker and saved inside the grid, otherwise you could write Model.value.altText

If you are desperate to get this working then you could temporarily edit the file:

\Umbraco\Js\umbraco.controllers.js

find .Controller("Umbraco.PropertyEditors.Grid.MediaController")

as per the fix outlined in the issue

and add altText: data.altText line to the $scope.control.value setting

this would allow you to use the altText in the view...

Hi Marc

Thank you for the reply. I finally got around to try it out.

I updated my umbraco.controllers.js and my media.cshtml. I still can't get it to work. I will keep playing with it.

/Michael

Did anyone get this resolved? Have the same issue after updating the 2 files above?

Thanks Marc, so far it doesnt work. My steps:

Changed js\umbraco.controllers.js added the below

image: data.image,
altText: data.altText

In media.cshtml changed line 17 to

<img src="@url" alt="@Model.value.altText" >

under config\Clientdependency.config

Changed

<clientDependency version="12345678" fileDependencyExtensions=".js,.css"

changed version to 12345679

Am i missing something as when i refresh the page alt text is still not shown? So i added a manual alt entry in the cshtml file which does display?

Thanks

Hi J

Yes, that's all it should need, - which version of Umbraco is this ? (and I'll try to replicate)

the grid has changed slightly in the later versions (but then also this problem has been fixed).

I'd try adding a console.log of the data to see if the altText is being returned from the mediaPicker dialog service correctly:

  console.log(data);
                    $scope.control.value = {
                        focalPoint: data.focalPoint,
                        id: data.id,
                        image: data.image,
                        altText: data.altText
                    };

is working on a reply...
