How to make the "alternative Description" required for images in TinyMCE RTE?

Support

I am using MODX 3.1.2 and TinyMCE RTE 2.1.1. I would like to make the Alternative Description field required.

I guess I need to edit the System Settings->TinyMCE->tinymcerte.settings. but I am not sure what to add. I have the image advanced tab enabled in the settings.

Thanks,
Roy

I don’t think you can make the “Alternative description” field required.

Usually to change the TinyMCE behaviour, you have to find the related setting in the TinyMCE documentation (v5 is currently used by this MODX extra) and then either use an external config or change the system setting (if available).

In this case, the only related thing I could find is the option to disable the description.

Also, the extra “TinyMCE RTE” uses a custom plugin for images called “modximage”. It maybe would be possible to make the field required, but it certainly would require to change the plugin code.

Thank you for the info. I’ll just have trust the content editors (I know that’s foolish)
