Display category image in K2 Content Module was created by Robert Peterson

Hi, everyone! I'm using J!3.1.6, and I'd like to add the category image next to each entry in the K2 Content module.

I've tried this code to no avail:

<?php echo $item->category->image; ?>

This has to be an easy one, right? Every other K2 element is in there. All I need to do is yoink the category image associated with each item.

Thanks!!!!!

I'm afraid that you cannot fetch the category image through the K2 content module without having to make modifications up to the extend of database queries to the core files.

Rats! OK, how about this:

Can the module sustain some basic logic related to the category? I'm thinking of something like this:

if category = 'Booga' {

// do something

} elseif category = 'Zooga' {

// do something

} else {

// do something

} endif

Is something like that possible?

Thanks!!!

Yes you can do something like that in the module. Just use $item->categoryname for your category variable.

Yiota, thanks so much for the help! I've tried the following code, but it's throwing a syntax error. Sorry -- I must be missing something obvious.

<?php if $item->categoryname == 'AAA' {
    echo 'AAA is the Category'
} elseif $item->categoryname == 'BBB' {
    echo 'BBB is the Category'
} elseif $item->categoryname == 'CCC' {
    echo 'CCC is the category'
} endif; ?>

Any ideas?

Thank you again!!!

Wait -- I may have it figured out:

<?php if ( $item->categoryname == "AAA" ) {
                echo 'AAA is the Category';
            } elseif ( $item->categoryname == "BBB" ) {
                echo 'BBB is the Category';
            } elseif ( $item->categoryname == "CCC" ) {
                echo 'CCC is the category';
            }  ?>

Yes, this should work in your module code.
