Hi all

My question is an addition to this forum post: community.getk2.org/forum/topics/substitute-for-standard-joomla

 

I'm using this method to display a list of articles in the left col from various categories. I would like to display an image to the left of the title showing which category the article is listed in. EG: If there are articles 3 articles from the category cars, 2 from motorcycles, and 2 from boats, the user can quickly and easily see the articles related to the category they are most interested in simply by looking out for the relevant image.

How can I achieve this?

Is it really not possible to show category image in K2 Content ?

You will have tooverride mod_k2_content and add something like the following to show the category image

using this code in your override

<?php

$db = & JFactory::getDBO();
$query = "SELECT * FROM #__k2_categories WHERE id=".$item->categoryid;
$db->setQuery($query);
$category = $db->loadObject(); ?>
You can now have access to all category data, like image, with
$category->image
