CCK 5.1.4
Imagefield 5.1.1
tmp and files fully writable...
Public download method

Single imagefield,
optional,
not multiple
Can add custom title and alt

Expected results.

[Imagefield alt and title functions fine for full node/ teaser output]

Unexpected actual results:
When an imagefield is used in a view, custom Alt and title attributes are not used.

Indeed, the standard alt attributes added by imagefield by default [the filename] seem to be ignored.
A number eg[50] is used as the Alt attribute. [Its close to the nid, but not the nid]
Update: it is the field_image_fid

Reproduce:
Just create a view using an imagefield image.

The Solution?
No idea!

Alan

I am also experiencing this problem... Is there a solution in sight?

I confirm this is a valid issue. Any images uploaded that use custom titles and alt tags are ignored.

Same issue. Was this never resolved? Oddly, I have the same install with no issues on another site, but on this specific site I'm getting the field_images_fid displayed instead of the alt text.

Never got it resolved.
Didn't have time to investigate further.

Funny how it works on one install and not the other.
Any different between the 2 server configs?

No different between the two server configs.

The only difference is that the one where it doesn't work I migrated the image gallery from one set up to this one. The one where it works I did from scratch.

Version: 5.x-1.1 » 6.x-3.x-dev

This is still an issue in the lastest version of Imagefield Drupal 6 Aplha 1 with Views 2.

This time, the alt text and title text is simply 'a'.

Project: ImageField » ImageCache
Version: 6.x-3.x-dev » 6.x-1.0-alpha2

This is still an issue in the lastest version of Imagefield Drupal 6 Aplha 1 with Views 2.

This time, the alt text and title text is simply 'a'.

But only if used with a ImageCache formatter,

Otherwise, the fields are simply blank.

Moving to ImageCache, as it seems to be an issue there too.
