Link's title

cyandrea -- on Feb. 7 2006

Hi, I'm sorry 'cos my english is very bad.. but I would like to know if Yacs allows to set the title of links (instead of the default title "Browse in a new window") everytime it is necessary.

I've found the file skin_skeleton.php where there is this code ($local['href_title_en'] = 'Browse in a new window';) that set a default title for all links. I need to change the title always! How can I do it?

I know that it is possible when I link a word in an article (by writing the XHTML code with a title), but I can't when I have to add a link using the form "add a link".

Titles improve accessibility by giving more informations (read by screen reader) about the link.

I need this feature because I would like to create an accessible site.. Can you help me?!

Thank you

Andrea

Therefore I am alone into the house at this present time and I can answer as follows: You can set the title of your link staight on when you are editing. For instance, I will indicate here through a link title, the adress of the forums in french. Is is so easy and natural by using the BB codes which are implemented in Yacs... There is almost nothing to do. I don't know if I answer to your question ... But anyway, tell me, please. I am waiting for your feedback, and if you speak french, please post rather into the french forums, by pointing on the title of the link over there. Thank you for your interest in YACS.

Your suggestion to enhance the module for links is great, and I will add one field for titles. Keep posted, and thank you very much for your suggestion.
