Those options ONLY work with the admin template

If you want similar functionality in the front end then you should use the dedicated plugin that is provided for that.

System - Additional Accessibility Features

So this issue can be closed as expected behaviour?

absolutely. plus the admin options only work for someone who is logged in.

Closing as expected behaviour according to explanation given in previous comments.

I am sorry but apart from the fact even with System - Additional Accessibility Features enabled alt+a has no effect it doesn't answer the issue.

The issue is that users whether disabled or not out to be able to control their own accessibility settings not rely on someone else -- and admin- to do it for them. I am not an accessibility expert but I do feel strongly that less able people should have the option of taking control themselves not have their needs assessed and set by someone else. perhaps you are all to young to remember the program "Does he take sugar"

It is ctrl alt a

Of course they should not rely on someone else. But once again I repeat. The settings you referred to that are in the user profile in the admin side of joomla are ONLY for the admin area of joomla. They do nothing in the front end of the site.

Absolutelt remember it but as I have said it is not releavant here.

That seems to be the core of the issue. This issue should be seen as a reasonable feature request.

@nibra Think about it, look at the code in the user profile and try the plugin.

1. That code requires someone to be logged in. Surely it is better to have this functionality (and more) that is available to everyone
2. That code requires the template to be aware of the options. Surely it is better to have functionality (and more) that is available with any template
3. The plugin wasn't added just to bloat joomla it is there for the purpose and it does its job. Sure it could be improved but thats not the issue here.
4. Even if an admin saves the options on behalf of a user it wont do anything as the site template is not aware of them.

I do apologise. I have misunderstood. I had not realised those accessibility options only apply to users accessing the backend and have nothing to do with the frontend so clearly only configurable by backend users. That was not clear to me, and maybe others.I will try the ctl alt a when I am stationery and in front of my pc.PhilipSent from my Galaxy

No problem at all.

We can definitely look at adding a description that they are the settings for the admin only. It is not obvious.

Joomla knows which user has backend accessl doesn't? In which case could the options only be available for users with backend access. Or perhaps that is the case.Regds PhilipSent from my Galaxy
