Some kind of css conflict probably...
Please provide us with a url to your site to help you.

Try to erase the last element from line 28 template.css (the one I put a line on it).

li.sig-block a.sig-link img.sig-image, li.sig-block a.sig-link:hover img.sig-image {
background-position:50% 50%;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
border:medium none;
display:block;
height:100%;
margin:0;
padding:0;
width:100%;
}

If this doesn't work please let me know.

Just did that and it appears nothing has changed and the same problem exists. I am assuming the template file you were speaking of was under the directory: .../mambots/content/jw_sigpro/templates/default/template.css.  I am currently using the "Default" template for the image galleries.


The only way I can fix it is to remove the changes suggested above to the code to jw_sigpro.php but then it would not be SEO friendly.

Still stuck here any additional help would be greatly appreciated since I am still getting a double text line.  The only way to correct this is to remove the change suggested to become more SEO friendly.

How much of the information in this thread is still relevant?

I'm VERY interested in SEO friendly images in conjunction with my SIG pro galleries.

I have the most recent (I think) copy of the extension. Any seo tips used for simple image pro galleries is greatly appreciated. 

If you can tell me the absolute best possible way to treat my photos. Earlier today I finally learned to name the photo like this: this-is-my-relevant-title.jpg

All lowercase and hyphen between words. Does that look good? If so, what next...as in what do I do on the sig pro side, I'm familiar with the labels.txt and adding info there. Does this help, what's the best method in the label.txt file to get the best seo for my images?

Do the three areas in the label.txt cover my ultimate seo solution? What about the "click to open image" (alt txt?)? Should this be modified like suggested by the OP?

You should go to the file jw_sigpro.php and on line 172 there is

{LEFT HTML COMMENT}<img class="sig-image" src="'.$mosConfig_live_site.'/plugins/content/'.$plg_name.'/sigpro.transparent.gif" alt="'.JText::_('JWSP_FE_IMGTITLE').'" title="'.JText::_('JWSP_FE_IMGTITLE').'" style="width:'.$gal_width.'px;height:'.$gal_height.'px;background-image:url({THUMB IMAGE FILEPATH});" />{RIGHT HTML COMMENT}';

replace it with the following:

{LEFT HTML COMMENT}<img class="sig-image" src="'.$mosConfig_live_site.'/plugins/content/'.$plg_name.'/sigpro.transparent.gif" alt="{CAPTION TITLE}" title="{CAPTION TITLE}" style="width:'.$gal_width.'px;height:'.$gal_height.'px;background-image:url({THUMB IMAGE FILEPATH});" />{RIGHT HTML COMMENT}';

As you can see you just replace the JText with the caption title given from the file labels.txt for each photo.

I see this is about a two year old post, I tried doing this and it shuts down your whole site.

I love sig pro but wish it were easier on the image seo, and ability to easily create captions, alt=, etc.

Hi,

the code in the current SIG PRO Version can be found in the templates. I've just altered the classic.php template file to use the long text for the alt and title tag. As the long code would show HTML Tags I've striped them from the string. The result looks like this:

alt tag = "long text: image name.file_extention" (e.g. "This is my alt tag text: picturename.jpg")
title Tag = "long text -> info text" (e.g. "This is my title text -> Click here to open")

Code Line 25 must be amended as per follows:
Hope this helps!
