New Posting Features - Add Alt Text to Linked Images by BOP5 (VB 4.1.10+)

Brought to You by BirdOPrey5 / Qapla.com

Current Version: 1.5

This is the Standard Version. The GOLD Version is FREE but available only from:
Qapla.com - Add Alt Text GOLD VB4 by BOP5 Mod

The GOLD edition has 1 additional feature: Smart Tagging
Smart Tagging will check the filename of an image for useful information. If the mod believes the filename can be useful to describing the image it will use a cleaned and formatted version of the filename as the alt or title text. If the mod sees that the filename is all numeric, or a common digital camera format, or a vbulletin attachment filename it will instead use the thread title as the alt/title text for the image.

The Standard edition has only 3 options for alt or title text, each of which can be set independently. - Use Filename, Use Thread Title, or use both Filename AND Thread Title to create the tag.

The purpose of this mod is to automatically add "alt" and / or "title" tags to linked images in vBulletin forums.

By default vBulletin leaves the alt tag blank on all linked images. However image searches like Google scan for alt and/or title tags to determine what the image is and having these tags can increase your SEO in regards to images and perhaps regular SEO as well.

It can also benefit visually impaired users who may be using a screen reader.

VB 4.1.10+ Preferred. No manual file edits necessary.
VB 4.0.0 - VB 4.1.9 - 1 manual file edit required. Directions in .zip.

Please Mark as Installed if you use this.
Donations always appreciated. :up:

In vBulletin you can only add a description to images uploaded as inline image attachments. To do this in VB4 make sure you are using the WYSIWYG editor, then use the Insert Image icon on the editor toolbar. Upload the image from your computer or enter a URL for the image but make sure the checkbox to copy the image locally is checked.

Then when the image shows in your editor, double cllick on the image and you can provide a description.

That has always been possible with VB4 and this mod does not change or affect that process in anyway.

When you disable the modification, does everything work correctly?

I can see your WYSIWYG editor either isn't enabled or isn't working. It is unrelated to this mod. I suggest you go to vbulletin.com for support.

At support forum i asked the question about WYSIWYG editor they asked me about the Php version and vb version currently i am using 4.2.1 version and Php 5.4.2 they told me to upgarde your version. Currently i cant afford to upgrade i want to ask you if i use linked images mod then how i over come this issue of adding tittle tag and meta description to the image.


When i use your mod it allow me to add custom meta titlte and description to the link image but it wont show in the code about the title or meta description. We know that images are also great source of traffic. Adding proper image titlte and description get you extra visitors.
