I wanted to ask if there is a possibility to force Joomla to use full article image if intro image is empty (everywhere where image should be visible).
Is there a setting for this? Is it a feature of a template or Joomla engine itself? Right now I always have to specify both of this images, cause if I specify one only full article image Joomla does not display miniature in many places. If I specify the other one miniature is there but when I enter article it is missing.
I always end up having to specify the same image twice. Is there any way around this?
Thanks
UPDATE1:
I ended up overwriting the template for article to display $images->intro_image whenever $images->image_fulltext is not available.
This solves my problems yet one joomla user tells me she is sure that they were able to do that before without any modifications in the template. So now I'm just wondering if there is a setting for this in Joomla Admin so that it does not have to be forced in template code
It turned out that each element of my page except full article used intro_image. So what I did was to copy out the part responsible for showing article into the html folder of my template and just added a php code to use intro image instead of fulltext image (if it is present). You basically need to change $image->fulltext to $image->intro_image in the condition. But remember to keep the original condition as an elseif condition if you want to be able to still use full text image

I am stuck working on a gallery, which uses 3 columns and 1 row multiplied alot of times to show a simple and clear gallery.
The problem comes when after publishing, the max-length of articles cut the content, but I can't find the config where I can change it.
This is problem with your template style(or gallery plugin/module gallery style), you have to edit your css file.
Best way is to check gallery with Firebug (mozzila add-in), make necessary changes and then overwrite default style.
Be careful with your updates, that do not overwrite your style.
It was a problem with MySQL.
I just changed "Text" value for "LongText" (on MySQL), so that way I can use a large amount of characters on the same script.
I am pretty new to joomla. The effect I am trying to achieve is http://www.greenjourneys.nl/individuele-reizen.html this. Notice, there is an featured image for each articles.
Can you tell me how to do this?
Just include the image before the page break.
There are a number of components that will allow you to resize the photo easily (or create tumbnails 'on the fly') which would work great for something like that.
However if you just have small images you want to use - simply include the image into the article before the pagebreak and use CSS to control how it lays out on the front page.
You can decide if you want the intro text to show in the main article or not, if you do - then you won't have to include the image again (it will show by default) but if you do not want the intro text to show, just be aware that the image you choose for the front page won't display in the article when clicked on.
Hope that helps.
How can I display a separate image before the title of each section, category and article (image be different)?
I.e. is there a way through admin plugin or some way so that I could render it easily?
I am using Joomla 1.5
Depends on the image. If you mean an icon or small image in front of the saction/category/title then you could do that with CSS and the page class suffix to determine which image displays on which page.
If you mean more like a header image, then you would probably need to do it in a module and assign the module to the page you want to place it in. You'd need a module per image doing it this way.
You could also add the image to the section or category description, then use a template override to place the image where you want it.
On one site we built we have a unique header image on every page. We did it with a module and K2. Again, it depends on what you are trying to do. You would need to give more details to get a specific answer.
Does there exist anything akin "UberSelectionWidget for images?" I'd like to get rid of direct-upload image fields and make all images to be managed through an image bank folder.
1) In all use cases upload image to image-bank folder first
2) Pick image from the folder by using some sort of image friendly selection widget (both Archetypes, Dexterity)
This way adding images would be unified within TinyMCE editor and news content items.
The problem, however, is that I cannot find any examples for reference picker for images solution.
Please see also Making TinyMCE image pick dialog point to a default folder on Plone
I am willing to replace News Item with my own content type just to get around this problem.
This product helped me in a Plone 3 project:
http://plone.org/products/upload-reference-widget
I had to customize it a little but I think it's a good base to start with.
No Dexterity support IIRC.
Use ReferenceField instead of ImageField in your content types, it make the job done.
You can extend 'News Item' type by using schemaextender.
Bonus:
But asking for people to first add image before adding a news is weird. As widget you must use uploadreference widgets for archetypes as mentionned by marcosfromero . It works and let you add an images without going away of your addform.
I'm not sure but there is no z3cform widget at the moment to achieve this (upload & create ref), may be someone can create it or get me wrong ?
I wanted to change the breadcrumbs starting point from Home to My title. I edited the file /magento/app/code/core/Mage/Catalog/Block/Breadcrumbs.php but it doesn't seem to be working. Is XML playing a role in that?
thanks
Your best option is to use Magento's translate feature. Notice how the text in Breadcrumbs.php is wrapped with ->__('text') which instructs Magento to see if there is a translation for text for the current module. If you turn on Translate Inline in System>Config>Admin>Developer, you will be able to edit the text on the page (after refreshing, click the red box then the little book icon). This will then be entered into the database in the core_translate table and replaced in future page renders.
As a general rule, you should never edit files in app/code/code as you will break future upgrades and patches.
