I am trying to balance out this section by having an image in each module. User 1 and 2 were easy since they were made for it, but Latest news doesn’t have a field for text or images. Perhaps I need to go into the backend and access the HTML, unfortunately I have no clue what the file name is for that.

Thanks for any help

I have attached an Image if my description wasn’t clear enough.

Try go to ::

modules/mod_latestnews/tmpl/default.php file and add image code reference like this::

<img alt=”Sample image” src=”images/stories/demo/sam-1.jpg”>

above this::

<ul class=”latestnews<?php echo $params->get(‘moduleclass_sfx’); ?>”>

and update image path accordingly

Hi aman, thanks for your quick reply, unfortunately it didn’t work 🙁
I checked the image path as well, it is the same image path as my other pics but with a different name… you can see the code below
[PHP]<?php // no direct access
defined(‘_JEXEC’) or die(‘Restricted access’); ?>
<img alt=”Sample image” src=”/images/stories/gallery/news.jpg”>
<ul class=”latestnews<?php echo $params->get(‘moduleclass_sfx’); ?>”>
<?php foreach ($list as $item) : ?>
<li class=”latestnews<?php echo $params->get(‘moduleclass_sfx’); ?>”>
<a href=”<?php echo $item->link; ?>” class=”latestnews<?php echo $params->get(‘moduleclass_sfx’); ?>”>
<?php echo $item->text; ?></a>
</li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>[/PHP]

any ideas?

Try change this::

<img alt=”Sample image” src=”/images/stories/gallery/news.jpg”>

to

<img alt=”Sample image” src=”images/stories/gallery/news.jpg”>

Thanks for the quick response. I just tried your latest post and it still doesn’t work. I really appreciate you helping me, what are some other methods we can try?

It seems to be working fine for me 🙂

Other way, You can create a new sub-folder in /template/ja_droid/html folder named::

mod_latestnews

and then, copy the above file (default.php) to this folder with specified changes
