Missing alt tag in div class="default-image"

Almost all of my pages contain this for some reason

Code:

<div class="default-image" style="display: none;">

  <img src="skins/default/en/images/no_image.png" alt="" height="300" width="300" data-max-width="300" data-max-height="300" data-is-default-image="1">

</div>

Can't figure out why there isn't a default image assigned but the alt tag is empty and that is constantly thrown up in bing and google webmaster SEO analysis.

Hello.
Could you please specify what template you use in your webstore and at what page of the site this code appears?
Thank you.

Noblesse Template and it shows up on all of our pages...

Example:

https://glaspak.com/round-1-liter-giara-swing-top-bottle.html

Code:

<div class="default-image" style="display: none;">

  <img src="skins/default/en/images/no_image.png" alt=""  height="300" width="300" data-max-width="300" data-max-height="300" data-is-default-image="1" />

</div>

I traced it down to

Code:

  <!-- XLite\View\Image : default/en/common/image.tpl (98) {{{ --><img src="skins/default/en/images/no_image.png" alt=""  height="300" width="300" data-max-width="300" data-max-height="300" data-is-default-image="1" />

<!-- }}} XLite\View\Image : default/en/common/image.tpl (98) --></div>

Which is this

Code:

{* vim: set ts=2 sw=2 sts=2 et: *}

<img src="{getURL()}" alt="{getAlt()}" {foreach:getProperties(),name,value} {name}="{value}"{end:} />

I think I tracked it down to
http://pastebin.com/pNQZ0K8e

Looks like there is no default alt tag (or atleast no alt tag for the default_image) which is defined somewhere else.

Thank you.
Looks like a bug, as the issue remains on a fresh X-Cart 5.2.7 installation.
I will report it to the development team to get it fixed.
As a workaround, I would suggest to manually override the alt description until this is fixed.
Here is the bug report where you can track the progress of the issue:

Would it be something like

Code:

public function getAlt()

    {

        return $this->getParam(self::PARAM_ALT);

            if($this) == null) {

                $this = "Default Image";

        }

     }

???

Also didn't know 5.2.7 was out, our admin panel in x-cart still shows 5.2.6 and no option to upgrade.

I believe 5.2.7 is only available for those that have opted in to test pre release.

<div class="default-image" style="display: none;">
<img src="skins/default/en/images/no_image.png" alt="" height="300" width="300" data-max-width="300" data-max-height="300" data-is-default-image="1" />

The ticket was closed as a duplicate of this one: https://bt.x-cart.com/view.php?id=45330

The developers say that this image is never displayed on the page directly and is used by some JavaScript functions only.

Please can you clarify the exact text of the message? Is it a notice? Or is it a warning?
