Accessibity Issue with Default Extension
« on: July 21, 2016, 05:12:27 PM »
How do I go about requesting that a default extension be made accessible?

The extension in question is default_authorizenet_aim. The form fields are not coded properly. As is, they are not accessible for those who are blind or visually impaired.

I cater to the blind and this is important for my customers. I appreciate if one of the core developers could respond to my inquiry. Thank you.

PS: I created an extension that is dependent on default_authorizenet.aim. Without this fix, my extension won't be 100% accessible. Your help is greatly appreciated.

1. you can add your own variable-sign for recognition of blind user with hook. (or change controller default_authorizenet_aim/storefront/controller/responses/extension/default_authorizenet_aim.php)
for ex.  $blind_user = true;
2. then change your tpl default_authorizenet_aim/storefront/view/default/template/responses/default_authorizenet_aim.tpl and add some your custom changes as you need

I did and I made the extension available for FREE in the Marketplace: http://marketplace.abantecart.com/accessible_cart
