Adding alt-text to logo in Rise Theme
Thanks Steven! We deliver accessibility training so we're fairly passionate about alt text. I appreciate the team considering my request. Have a lovely day!
TK, I posted about this in another thread, and realized I had totally neglected alt tags, so I added the alt as well as a matching Title attribute. Title attributes are so helpful for sighted people I wish they were used more often, not even sure how the title attr affects accessibility but I assume it can't hurt. This is my demo showing custom authors section with custom html, instead of a logo.
Hi Phil, I'm working in Rise360 and wasn't aware there's a way to add custom HTML - how did you manage that?
If it helps, there's nothing wrong with adding a title accessibility wise, it's just won't function as a substitute for alt text. Having both is fine :)
Cool thx. What I'm doing is exploiting Rise's simple text editor to insert html. I explain the most complex part- using image data uri in this video- https://youtu.be/wjbYhUKuARU
The other part is using flexbox to achieve these (responsive) columns, but if you just need a logo with an alt you can use this method in the cover page description, instead of using the 'add logo' option in rise.
Just came across this thread, as a client recently pointed out that their logo was lacking alt text on the Home Screen of a Rise course. Looks like Rise still does not allow alt text to be added to the logo image uploaded in the Theme settings. Any plans to add this feature? I am required to use alt text on non-decorative images, which means I can't use a logo image on the Home Screen in Rise.
A separate issue is that it seems the Rise Theme settings allow only one logo image to be uploaded. Most courses I build are joint ventures involving multiple organizations, so it would be great if we could add multiple logos.
