Pulling Full Article Image as Main Image in a Blog Category

timpennington

Here's my dilemma:

I write a column for my site, and use the position-2 on the homepage to tout my article, and I use my headshot for the "intro" image so it pulls it in the position-2 spot.
I use a different photo for the article in the "full article image."
I have an inside blog page for my articles, but every photo will have my photo as the "intro" for the section, which looks kinda dumb to have 9 of my photos on that page.

Question: Is there a way to set the blog page for my column to pull the "full article image" as the preview article, and no my "intro" image? See attached

I know that may sound screwy; but I want my photo to be in the position-2 spot (which is pulling from the "intro photo" slot) and yet have different photos on the blog layout, if that makes sense.

Yes, I could but a standard ad in position-2, but I want the headline there to change when I add a new column.

Just hoping there is a solution.

Thanks

In the file: /html/mod_articles_latest/latest-header.php

I updated this line:

<?php echo JLayoutHelper::render('joomla.content.full_image', $item); ?>

so that it will retrieve the fulltext image of article instead of intro image.

Kindly check.
