Hello,

Just wanted to know if there is a way to enable “category image” to show under the category title in JA News2.

I don’t see it in the backend module settings. I was wondering if there is any way to customize to allow what I want.

Thanks!

I’d like to do the above because of the following reasons;

* I have few sections that has multiple categories but only 1 category with an article. Instead of having a blank space in it, I thought it would be nice to at least have a category image to fill the gap.

* Not all articles have images/photos. To make the look consistent, it would be nice to have images in all categories.

I hope there is any way to customize this way.

Thanks in advance!

Someone got the solution for JA News 1, but it did not work for JA News2.

This is a very useful feature, and see anyone can help to update the changes for Ja News2.

hello guys!

I have the solution for u to improve this feature:

Now, please open the file: modulesmod_janews2helper.php and try to find function named is “function loadCategories($sid) {” and find the sql query:
[PHP]
$query = “SELECT `id`, `title`, `description` CASE WHEN CHAR_LENGTH(`alias`) THEN CONCAT_WS(“:”, `id`, `alias`) ELSE `id` END as `slug` FROM `#__categories` s WHERE published = 1 and section=” . ( int ) $sid . $where;
[/PHP]
you replace this by:
[PHP]
$query = “SELECT `id`, `title`, `description`,image, CASE WHEN CHAR_LENGTH(`alias`) THEN CONCAT_WS(“:”, `id`, `alias`) ELSE `id` END as `slug` FROM `#__categories` s WHERE published = 1 and section=” . ( int ) $sid . $where;
[/PHP]

– Please open the file modulesmod_janews2tmplblog_item.php and find code:
[PHP]
$image = $helper->replaceImage ($row, $img_align, $autoresize, $maxchars, $s_showimage, $img_w, $img_h, $hiddenClasses);
[/PHP]
=> replace:
[PHP]
$tr = ‘#<s*img [^>]*srcs*=s*([“‘])(.*?)1#im’;
$match=null;
preg_match ( $tr, $row->introtext. $row->fulltext, $match );
//Show the latest news
if( !$match ){
$image = !$cat->category->image ? ” :'<img src=”‘.’images/stories/’. $cat->category->image.'” />’;
$row->introtext = $image. $row->introtext;
}
$link = JRoute::_(ContentHelperRoute::getArticleRoute($row->slug, $row->catslug, $row->sectionid));

$image = $helper->replaceImage ($row, $img_align, $autoresize, $maxchars, $s_showimage, $img_w, $img_h, $hiddenClasses);
[/PHP]

Explain for codes above: The image of category will display if the article have not any image.

I just found out that your solution does not work when user has logined. I tried with admin login, and category image just not shown. when log out, image shown again.
