NAME
Daizu::Plugin::ImageMetadata - add information to 'img' elements
DESCRIPTION
This plugin filters articles and adds additional attributes to img
elements when appropriate.
TODO - how it finds the image file
The following information can be added:
- width and height
-
These attributes are filled in (if neither of them are present already) using the size of the image file as recorded by Daizu. The size comes from the
image_width
andimage_height
values in thewc_file
table in the database. This information is only available if the image file has a MIME type like 'image/*', and if the Image::Size module knows how to extract the size for a the type of image. The bitmap formats you're likely to use on websites are all supported (PNG, JPEG, and GIF) as well as a few others. - alt
-
The alternative text is added, if there isn't already an
alt
attribute, from thedaizu:alt
property of the image file. This allows you to store appropriate alternative text with the image so that it can be reused automatically whenever the image is used.An
alt
attribute is added to all images that don't have one. If there is nodaizu:alt
property, or if the image isn't stored in Daizu, then an empty value is used because HTML requires that the attribute be present. - title
-
If there isn't already a
title
attribute then one might be added using the value of thedc:title
property of the image file, or if that doesn't exist then thedc:description
property. If the image doesn't have either then this attribute isn't added.Special case: this property isn't added if the image file is the same file as the article being filtered. This happens when you publish an image as an article using Daizu::Plugin::PictureArticle. In that case the title and description of the image file will be displayed in the article just above the image itself, so there seems little point repeating them.
