Dear all,
I think these are probably very simple questions, but I'm relatively new to Drupal and am totally blind, hence my asking for some help here.
I am developing a basic website for a small organisation in Ireland.
My questions are,
- What steps to I take to replace the default Drupal logo or
image with that of the organisation? The image is a Jpeg file and I'm using the default Garland theme.
You overwrite the original logo you find in the theme directory or you: Administer -> Themes -> Configure -> Global settings un-check the "Use the default logo" and provide a path to a previously uploaded logo or Upload logo image.
- It would appear, from my viewing the default image within the
site, that it appears as a link. How can I stop it appearing as a link?
Edit the themes/garland/page.tpl.php
- Finally, how can I add some alt text to the image so that it
will have a proper description for people who can't access graphics?
the alt tag of the logo in the garland teme is taken from the site title. If it is OK that way... you can adjust it in the Administer -> Site configuration -> Site information. If you want something different you should still edit page.tpl.php Consider that you've alt and title tags to exploit. I don't know which one take precedence when you use software helpers for blind. Plus... as you noticed the logo in garland is surrounded by a link that has it's title as well.
I'd say that a link to the main page and "Home" in the title/alt tag can be helpful for non blind people. I don't know if they can be misleading or add crap once passed to software helpers for blind (text to speech or braille). We'd be interested to know what is more comfort for blind people so to make better sites.
