I'm looking for a way to automatically attach an image to an article.
I have setup a custom field "sources' which will be news sources and I want to attach automatically an image into an article corresponding to the "sources" entry.

Example source: Wall Street Journal >> auto insert Wall Street Journal Image into the article intro text.

It doesn't need to get the image online, i have a stack of images that i can put in the images folder. But any system would be great.

Thanks in advance.

I haven't tried it but imho you can solve this by using the Category Image. Replace the Code for the item Image in your k2 Template File with the source of category Image.

Thanks for this tip, any other ideas?

I tried this, it seems to work, one problem is that, I would need to use a lot of categories, if i use this system.

Anyone? please help.

Nice would be a setting/option to show the category's image when an image is not assigned to the article...

Could you say exactly what has to be change in the code to show category images next to introtext and also full open item?

Coul´d you please explain it some other way ?

I am not sure i get it what you want.

Sure,

 

I would like to list articles from different categories on one page (just introtext + image). Image should be always loaded from category image, not item image.

 

I asked author of the topic.

 

First thing a think is template override and hard code URL of image in category_item.php.

 

But you need Items from mixed Categories.

 

If you hard code URL in other categories override,  it would reflect at some other parts of website. And this is probably something you don´t want.
