Description

Ride leaders can add an image to their post, but can't specify the alt text. The only option right now is to include the image description in the main event description field.

Add an alt text field to the front-end to add/edit the text, add a field to the calevent database, and include the value in any relevant API requests.

Start by locating the calendar front-end form and the calevent database definition, then trace the API requests used to add and edit ride images. Done means leaders can enter and update alt text, the value is stored in calevent, and relevant API requests carry it through.
