cat_name in image's "ALT" field

[k1lljoy]

Hi!  
Is it possible to put the name of the caregory the image was uploaded to - into the ALT filed of that image, together with the name of that image?
Just adding {cat_name} beside the existing {image_name} in media templates (templates/media/jpg.html) doesn't make anything - the category name doesn't appear in the ALT-field  
Help please

{cat_name} should work...

I have followed on my site the first 2 points of this tip: http://www.4homepages.de/forum/index.php?topic=25442.msg139561#msg139561
Just replace "{image_description}" with "{cat_name}" and change the "jpg.html" as you want.

Hagen-Roderich  - thanx, that worked for my thumbs all right, bt still problems with the images themselves
 V@no  - I also thought it should work, but...  

Well, in my /templates/default/media/jpg.html
 I put the following:

Code: [Select]

<img src="{media_src}" border="1" alt="{cat_name} - {image_name}"{width_height} />
But I get just  " - image name" Alt now.

But I`ve noticed, that if I change the sequense of code snippets here:  

Code: [Select]

 "image" => get_media_code($image_row['image_media_file'], $image_row['image_id'], $image_row['cat_id'], $image_row['image_name'], $image_row['cat_name'], $mode, $show_link, $detailed_view),(in includes/functions.php)
lke that:

Code: [Select]

 "image" => get_media_code($image_row['image_media_file'], $image_row['image_id'], $image_row['cat_id'], $image_row['cat_name'], $image_row['image_name'], $mode, $show_link, $detailed_view),
then I get just category name in my ALT  
for example: "category name - " , that is without the name of the image already...

Is it possible to have both of them ?  


ADDED: solved!  
Just needed to add       "cat_name" => $cat_name,
to the:     $site_template->register_vars(array(
list
