[mapkyca] [jgmac1106] what improvements are you after for the photo plugin btw, is it just the alt text thing?

#
jgmac1106 hey @mapkyca good to see Known getting a high accessibility review from [arush]
#
jgmac1106 for the the photo post types the title becomes becomes the alt text, just want a seperate text box for alt txt, I tried to start the PR bu tthink I messed up my PHP
#
jgmac1106 just need an input field for alt text and then echo the variable in the template
#
jgmac1106 we could also fix the template in general, the img is nested inside e-content and missing u-photo
#
jgmac1106 I am okay with photos having tiltes (see flickr) , nvm I see the u-photo
#
jgmac1106 I think though we could move the photo about e-content or remove e-content in general….but the accessibility bit is a must have for all not a vocal mf2 fix
#
jgmac1106 tl;dr so everthing works fine, just give me an input field for alt text
#
jgmac1106 i do like gRegor’s approach, “removing the e-content and putting the caption in a p-name p-summary”

[mapkyca] Alt text is slightly more tricky - we'd need to handle multiple alt texts bc photos can have multiple photos in a post. A single title and description are fine in this context, but alts and photos are 1-1

#
[jgmac1106] Yes but I mean specifically the photo plugin in core
#
[jgmac1106] In the article template it is fine. You get an ID box (though semantically different) that fills in Alt text
#
[jgmac1106] And ID... This is the initial photo upload, the template in the photo plugi l

#
[mapkyca] The core plugin is the one I'm talking about - it supports multiple photos, which will need one alt per photo
#
[jgmac1106] ...wow have I not used it on desktop in a while., not since latest update, UI may seem different on mobile may try to document....but it works really well on desktop
#
[jgmac1106] No it's new on mobile as well... Okay harder but still important problem to solve. Thx for multiphoto updates
#
[jgmac1106] I was talking about the old TinyMCE upload dialog... This is so much

[mapkyca] TinyMCE is _slightly_ different, although I think it leverages the same code (actually probably should check that since the photo plugin may not be installed). Want to solve it for both.
