We need to show the category image on article page, found a work around by not showing the intro text and placeing the category image at the top of the main text but then the article title shows above the image.

I have seen a much older post on this same topic with no reply's, I hope someone has an answer as I've been working on this for a week solid and lost two nights kip!

Thanks in advance

Jeff

there isnt an exact solution but what I did was ( work only for front end though -still you can find the right file to make it work on all articles-)
this is NOT the best solution but thats what I did at least
1- Created new folder in media manager called it categories
2- upload pictures to that folder and name them the same as categories with jpg extension
3- went to templates/mycurrentTemplate/html/com_content/frontpage/default_item.php
4- added this
<img src="images/categories/<?= $this->item->category ?>.jpg">

Check this extension.

It allows you to display a specific category description and/or image on a module position for corresponding articles (it can be set to do it automatically).

Hi there... I got there by using this:

<img src="<?
$secid = $this->item->catid;
$this->section = & JTable::getInstance( 'category' );
$this->section->load( $secid );
$cparams = JComponentHelper::getParams ('com_media');
echo $cparams->get('image_path').'/'.$this->section->image;
?>">

Thanks for the module tip, I took a small code snipped from the module, looked through the joomla sources and finally found to this solution.

in Joomla 1.6, to show the category image in an article, it should be

$secid = $this->item->catid;
$category = JCategories::getInstance('Content')->get($secid);
if ($category->getParams()->get('image')):?>
<img src="<?php echo $category->getParams()->get('image'); ?>"/>
<?php endif; ?>
