Topic: img alt tag
Is there a place to add <img alt=””> tags to help with SEO?
Re: img alt tag
If you are using a Juicebox or SimpleViewer gallery, be sure to select the 'Add SEO content' checkbox in the page's 'Lite Viewer Options' section (Juicebox) or the 'Standard Viewer Options' (SimpleViewer). (This option is selected by default.)
A ListViewer gallery already uses <img> tags with 'alt' attributes so there is no option to 'Add SEO content' for this gallery type as it will already be there.
(Ordinarily, <img> tags do not need to be included in the HTML code for Juicebox or SimpleViewer galleries as the images are displayed dynamically via JavaScript but the 'Add SEO content' option is there to include such code for SEO purpose.)
Please see the Juicebox Search Engine Optimization support section for further information. The specifics refer to JuiceboxBuilder-Pro but Showkase provides similar functionality.
When the 'Add SEO content' checkbox is selected, SEO content will be added to the gallery page in the form of <img> tags (one per gallery image).
In a Juicebox or SimpleViewer gallery, the image's 'Caption' (entered on the 'Images' tab) is used as the <img> tag's 'alt' attribute.
(The image's 'Title' is used as the <img> tag's 'alt' attribute in a ListViewer gallery.)
If you are just inserting an individual image via the Showkase editor, then you can add text for the <img> tag's in the pop-up window's 'Alternative Text' input box.

The link is going to a dead link. Please send new link.
Re: img alt tag
So, I actually found the page you were referring to and think I have it working as it should.
The one question I do have though, the "image title" and "alt tag" are designed to use the info (from the title) and be the same in both places?

Sorry about the link. I've corrected it in the post above.

The <img> tag used for SEO purposes in a Juicebox gallery will look something like this:
<img title="Image Title" alt="Image Caption" src="/showkase/gallery/images/image0001.jpg">Both the Image Title and Image Caption are used in the SEO code's <img> tag and also in the gallery itself (if you choose to display the captions).
Unfortunately, there is no way to manually enter different text for the SEO code.
