Redundant title text within Icon Boxes

Hi Ismael,

A couple of questions: Where will I find this file that you suggest that I edit?
And, if I change that file, won’t that change just go away after the next Enfold update?

Guenni,

To answer your question about having a “title,” it is preferred. But it would then need to be accompanied by an “alt” attribute that has different wording than either the Title or the active text. Right now the code looks like this:

<a href="http://broken-no-more.org/resources/failed-drug-war/" title="Change">Change</a>

What the ADA compliance seems to want is that the “title” be different than the active text “Change”. Or, remove the “title” tag. What you have posted for me looks like it may work. I will try it and reply back.

FYI: Here is what the compliance statement says about the above issue:
Redundant title text
What It Means:
Title attribute text is the same as text or alternative text.
Why It Matters
The title attribute value is used to provide advisory information. It typically appears when the users hovers the mouse over an element. The advisory information presented should not be identical to or very similar to the element text or alternative text.
What To Do
In most cases the title attribute can be removed, otherwise modify it to provide advisory, but not redundant information. Note that the title text may or may not be read by a screen reader and is typically inaccessible to sighted keyboard users.

Guenni,

Well, no luck on getting your code to work. Here is what I did:

I added the following to my child theme function.php file:

function avia_include_shortcode_template($paths){
  $template_url = get_stylesheet_directory();
      array_unshift($paths, $template_url.'/shortcodes/');
  return $paths;
}
add_filter('avia_load_shortcodes', 'avia_include_shortcode_template', 15, 1);

I then made a copy of iconbox.php file and placed it in enfold-child>config-templatebuilder>avia-shortcodes>iconbox

in that file, I replaced the content between lines 576 to 605 (which looked like your example) and replaced it with the content you provided.

But no change in the results.

One other related issue. It is the same problem as “icon box” , but for “icon list”. Here too “title” is the same as the text.

Should I open a new thread for this?

Hi Guenni,

Thanks for the additional info. I believe that I have made the changes correctly for the above edited content to work within iconlist as well as iconbox.
I copied “iconlist.php” (at: enfold/config-templatebuilder/avia-shortcodes/iconlist/iconlist.php) and then pasted it into enfold-child>shortcodes.
I then edited the iconlist.php file (Between lines 892 to 922, there were 4 instances of: title=”’ that I change to: title=’Link to” These 4 instances were on the following lines: 901, 904, 908, 914.

I tested and it appears to be okay.

Thanks again for your help. I’ll try not to come back to you so often.
