I'm sure this is a basic question (EE is not my bag): I am trying to create a fallback for an image's alt text where if the image does not have a description then to use the title of the entry in its place.
But obviously if I use
{image}
<img src="{url}" alt="{if description}{description}{if:else}{title}{/if}">
{/image}
Then it uses the image's title.
How do I make it display the entry title instead?
TIA.
Can you give me a little more information about your code here?
{image} is a grid field? What fields does the grid have? Perhaps you could rename the {title} field in your grid to something that doesn't overwrite the default {title} field?
Are you using the file fieldtype..if so with the variable pair tag.. i guess you can't get the entry title!??.. But if you have only 1 image.. you may try something like..
{image limit="1"}
<img src="{url}" alt="{if description}{description}"{/image}{if:else}{/image}{title}"{/if}>
It's not elegant.. and i didn't test it.. !
