I am looking to see if it is possible to get the the related news to show category images instead of no image (when an article doesn’t have one) so it doesn’t look all broken? Or even better, to show a random image from a folder or perhaps a similar solution? Thanks.

EDIT: Just attaching an image to display example when you have a combination of articles with and without images:

Greetings mrspidey,

Could you check your site URL again as I can’t access it? and send me link of page where I can see the related news you’re referring to, I don’t see this part in our demo site.

See you around…

You can open file: templatesja_magzhtmlcom_contentarticledefault_related_item.php

Change this:
[PHP]
<div class=”item-image images-content clearfix” itemprop=”thumbnailUrl”>
<?php if (!empty($intro_src)): ?>
<?php if ($link): ?>
<a class=”article-link” href=”<?php echo $link; ?>” title=”<?php echo $this->escape($this->ritem->title); ?>”>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php echo MagzHelper::icon($exinfo[‘type’]) ?>
<img title=”<?php echo htmlspecialchars($intro_title); ?>”
src=”<?php echo htmlspecialchars($intro_src); ?>”
alt=”<?php echo htmlspecialchars($intro_alt); ?>”/>
<?php if ($link): ?>
</a>
<?php endif; ?>

<?php endif; ?>
</div>
[/PHP]

To:
[PHP]
<div class=”item-image images-content clearfix” itemprop=”thumbnailUrl”>
<?php if (!empty($intro_src)): ?>
<?php if ($link): ?>
<a class=”article-link” href=”<?php echo $link; ?>” title=”<?php echo $this->escape($this->ritem->title); ?>”>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php echo MagzHelper::icon($exinfo[‘type’]) ?>
<img title=”<?php echo htmlspecialchars($intro_title); ?>”
src=”<?php echo htmlspecialchars($intro_src); ?>”
alt=”<?php echo htmlspecialchars($intro_alt); ?>”/>
<?php if ($link): ?>
</a>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php else: ?>
<div><img src=”/path/to/your/desired/image/here” ></div>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
[/PHP]
