 Description  « Hide
At wikis.sun.com we use Gliffy to create diagrams for documentation of our products. This kind of documentation requires us to be 508 compliant. A part of the 508 requirements is to provide alternative text for all the images on the site. Unfortunately Gliffy doesn't support this very simple feature. Please implement it.

Shannon,

Can you please implement this in the Macro?

I'm thinking that the alt text would look something like: "Gliffy Diagram titled $diagramName"

Hi Chris,

We'd preffer to be able to define the alt text as an argument in the macro like this:

{gliffy:name=My Diagram|space=MySpace|page=MyPage|pageid=1234|align=left|size=L|alt="This figure shows the individual computers and the software installed on them for the multi-host deployment example."}
<img ............ alt="This figure shows the individual computers and the software installed on them for the multi-host deployment example." />

It would be nice if Gliffy would generate the alt text as you described it in cases when an explicit definition in the macro is missing.

thanks!

Any idea on when we could expect this fix?

Thanks.


Chris Kohlhardt - 06/Jun/08 02:49 PM
Thanks for the feedback, Igor. Shannon, please include Igor's suggestion into the feature. Please update the related documentation as well.

This should be an easy fix, and we'll try and get it into the 1.4 release. (our next release)

Igor & Joe, which versions of Confluence are you running?

thanks

We currently run Confluence 2.7.0.

Do you have any approximate date for the 1.4 release?

cheers,
Igor


Igor Minar - 06/Jun/08 03:47 PM
oops.. it's actually Confluence 2.8.0 not 2.7.0.

Chris Kohlhardt - 06/Jun/08 04:42 PM
We don't have a set date for the release. Hopefully very soon.
