Hello Joomlart,

I have a question. I have a 3rd party extension that manages image uploads on my website. I want to change the system image uploader field for “Intro Image” and “Full Article Image” to a normal text field where we can put the image link (relative to root directory) directly.

Right now what we do is open system image uploader and put the image link directly in this field. I want to bypass these steps and modify it in the frontend. What code do I need to change?

I can change the core files as well to achieve this. Please advice.

This is custom request and it’s out of JA Support scope, if you want to change that, you have to find it from components/com_content/views/form/tmpl/edit.php file

But, you can tell me what to change. It must be a simple code replacement. You guys must know it.

You can change it directly from components/com_content/models/forms/article.xml file

find and change


<field
name="image_intro"
type="media"
label="COM_CONTENT_FIELD_INTRO_LABEL"
description="COM_CONTENT_FIELD_INTRO_DESC" />


to

<field
name="image_intro"
type="text"
label="COM_CONTENT_FIELD_INTRO_LABEL"
description="COM_CONTENT_FIELD_INTRO_DESC" />
