Intro Image on category list?

Post by gerner » Tue Jan 21, 2025 4:01 pm

Hi

Can someone advise me where I enable the option to show the Intro Image from an article?

What I want is along with the title of the article, the Intro Image set in the article is also showed on the category list page.

Hope someone can advice :)

That is not a feature of the Joomla category list menu; the intro image is used on category blog and single article menu items.

There is no room for an Image in the List. It will look terrible.

Even if we make it small to look like just an icon?

Sorry for the jump

Yes, it's do-able with a system plugin.

Actually, last week I needed to display the intro images in the Articles list in the back-end of my own website.
I already developed my own custom system plugin to make some enhancements in Joomla.
So I added this functionality to that plugin.

If you want, I can release a free plugin with that image display functionality,
and make it available as free plugin at JED.

What would be a proper name for such a plugin?
Would "Backend Content Images" describe it properly?

Just to make sure I understand it correct, your plugin will show the intro image, that I set in an given article, on the category list page - right now on the category list page, you only see the article name.

As for the name, what about "image on content list" :)
