Images needing alt text

[Lisa Seeto]

There are still some images in Mahara that are lacking any alt text. Alt text is needed to provided descriptions to SR and to provide context if the image cannot be loaded. A search of the code base revealed:

Cover images: if considered purely decorated should have alt="" so SR can detect they aren't important to content/ functionality (i.e. indexresults.tpl)

File browser preview images: (displaying in the modal) do not have alt text

External Feed: images do not have alt text

Image block gallery:
windowsliveshow.tpl used by image gallery block image doesn't have alt text
image.tpl googleapps missing alt text perhaps alt text or SR info for when block receives focus?
openbadgedisplayer image doesnt have alt text (badge.tpl)

People page (user/index.php): the user profile icon is decorative so we can possibly use the alt="" tag to be ignored by SR.

Other places where People Profile icons could be considered decorative and could be changed to alt="" here:

- Profile images on Profile pages or any user
- Profile information block
- List of forums and forum posts
- Admin notifications (admin/users/notifications.php)
