Image intro it's fantastic, but i want to upgrade newsflash!

Ok, joomla 2.5 it's out and finally gets the intro-image in a similar way wordpress does. Great I love it and makes the life much more easy (especially for external editors)
I also implemented the thimthumb to resize pictures on the fly as my intro-div has been loaded on frontpage. See down here.
But now my question is: how to get the intro image inside our newsflash modules ?? It's weird now using the before-readmore-firstpic of the article. Having the intro image inside newsflash could be the best natural evolution. Probably no one on joomla team got enought time to update the newsflash mod as it should be...
Is anyone able to help me pulling out from joomla the string to the intro pic path of each article showing on mod_newsflash ?
Anyone, let me know..!
Code: Select all
<?php if (isset($images->image_intro) and !empty($images->image_intro)) : ?>
<?php $imgfloat = (empty($images->float_intro)) ? $params->get('float_intro') : $images->float_intro; ?>
<div class="img-intro-<?php echo htmlspecialchars($imgfloat); ?>">
<img
<?php if ($images->image_intro_caption):
echo 'class="caption"'.' title="' .htmlspecialchars($images->image_intro_caption) .'"';
endif; ?>
src="<?php echo $this->baseurl ?>/templates/mytemplate/js/timthumb.php?src=<?php echo $this->baseurl ?>/<?php echo htmlspecialchars($images->image_intro); ?>&h=150&w=150&zc=1" alt="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($images->image_intro_alt); ?>"/>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>

<img src="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($images->image_intro); ?>" alt="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($images->image_intro_alt); ?>"/>

Add follow line to /templates/your_template/html/mod_articles_news/_item.php
Code: Select all
$images = json_decode($item->images);
After this:

Ok did it ! Works great now.
What about helper.php override ?
I already had a look around and didnt find a way to add that a.images call by a template override. Looks like it's impossible to override helper.php isnt it ?
So we're again here to mod the core files :-) ? not a prob after all.
The workaround it's creating a completely new module. With timthumb ersize features I would say that I'm creating something totally new !

Override helper.php the most correct way. But, we need to wait until the fix is in the Joomla (I hope it will be in next update). By the way, too, url's are not working for the same reason.
The new module is needed if this current functionality is not enough. In my needs thumbs proportions differ from the proportions of the original image, which requires manual work and control. The idea is good, need a good implementation.

This is exactly what I want to do, but when I put dansky's code
Code: Select all
Code:
<?php if (isset($images->image_intro) and !empty($images->image_intro)) : ?>
<?php $imgfloat = (empty($images->float_intro)) ? $params->get('float_intro') : $images->float_intro; ?>
<div class="img-intro-<?php echo htmlspecialchars($imgfloat); ?>">
<img
<?php if ($images->image_intro_caption):
echo 'class="caption"'.' title="' .htmlspecialchars($images->image_intro_caption) .'"';
endif; ?>
src="<?php echo $this->baseurl ?>/templates/mytemplate/js/timthumb.php?src=<?php echo $this->baseurl ?>/<?php echo htmlspecialchars($images->image_intro); ?>&h=150&w=150&zc=1" alt="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($images->image_intro_alt); ?>"/>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
in my template override _item.php it breaks the layout at
and only displays the start of the module (all other modules, components, template are not displayed).
Is there something wrong with the code, or is there a specific place I should be putting it?
I'm using Beez20 on Joomla2.5

wahahey, probably disrupted the structure of the module.
My _item.php file (based on Gantry default template):
Code: Select all

defined('_JEXEC') or die;
$images = json_decode($item->images); //for intro images

<?php if ($params->get('item_title')) : ?>

<?php if ($params->get('link_titles') && $item->link != '') : ?>

<?php echo $item->title;?></a>
<?php else : ?>
<?php echo $item->title; ?>
<?php endif; ?>

<?php endif; ?>

<?php $imgfloat = (empty($images->float_intro)) ? $item->params->get('float_intro') : $images->float_intro; ?>
<div class="img-intro-<?php echo htmlspecialchars($imgfloat); ?>">

endif; ?>

</a>
</div>

<?php if (!$params->get('intro_only')) :
echo $item->afterDisplayTitle;

I must have been putting it in the wrong position as you say - working perfectly now.
Thank you!

I'd love to find a way to apply this solution to mod-articles-category.
I want to display the image_intro as a background image behind the article summary, but like the mod-article-news issue, the images field doesn't get loaded.
Any thoughts?

I'm trying to get it to work with mod_articles_category too, but no luck... Have you found a solution yet?
Thanks.
UPDATE:
Just solved it.
just after the foreach loop, paste this line:
<?php $images = json_decode($item->images); ?>
and then this will work:
<img width="200" height="41" src="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($images->image_fulltext); ?>" alt="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($images->image_fulltext_alt); ?>" />

Awesome topic. Totally worked for my newsflash module:).
I am now trying to get it to display the category image of a sub-category.
I found out this code requests it:
Code: Select all
blog.php
<?php if (!empty($this->children[$this->category->id]) && $this->maxLevel != 0) : ?>
<div class="cat-children">
<?php if ($this->params->get('show_category_heading_title_text', 1) == 1) : ?>
<h3> <?php echo JTEXT::_('JGLOBAL_SUBCATEGORIES'); ?> </h3>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php echo $this->loadTemplate('children'); ?> </div>
<?php endif; ?>
Then it requests from childeren:
Code: Select all
blog_children.php
<?php foreach ($this->children[$this->category->id] as $id => $child) : ?>
<?php //start mod?>
<div class="item-image">
<?php echo '<img src="'.json_decode($child->params)->image . '" />'; ?>
</div>
<?php // end mod?>
Images get displayed, b
ut when there is no image it displays regardless (!). Can someone explain how I rewrite this so that it doesn't display if there is no image to be retrieved? I am really bad at php, I got this to work through trial and error :P.
