Use category image inside item view

Hello,
how can I use the category image in the item-view?
If no specific item image is assigned to the item I'd like to show the category image instead of the item-image.

Greetings

1. Duplicate a template
2. Edit item.php of your template
if your item.php is a single line then you need to copy-paste some code (just follow the instructions inside item.php)
3. Use some code like this:

NOTE: place the above code in an appropriate PHP IF statement to output it only if needed (look to find) when your item image is output

Thank you,
this was exactly what I needed.

Greetings

think to post a review on jed

I'm sorry to dig up an old post. I need the same change, but in the module.
To view recently added articles, I have to add the name of the category and the photo of this category.
The name I have resolved, but the photo does not come out.

I ask for the support

thx

Hello

please note, this is for categoty image via parameter, and not image placed inside the description

also for module, did you try using the FLEXIcontent universal content module?

it can
- show recently added articles together with custom fields
- performance wise for large web-sites
- it can show category information too

Hello,

Just as you say. Picture not included in content but via parameter.

Yes, I use the FC module.

But I did not find (do not know) how can I pull photo category in view Item List (not in Category List).

I'm not sure do You know what I mean?

I need to show in module last 3 article from subcategories. Every item have title, category name and category photo.
And I don't now how show this category photo.

Hello

i understand

1. the "categories" field only shows category title,

2. the module will show category information, title, description, image, etc
-- not inside the item list,
-- but above a set of items belonging to same category

and this is inside the "category list: ..." slider (j2.5) / tab (j3)

Yes, I know that. But ...
My module is shown 3 recently added articles to six sub-categories.
The settings you're talking about, do not give me the opportunity to show 3 subcategories with the latest articles. Then show the newest categorie. Maybe I set something wrong?

Hello

yes the use of "category list" is not appropriate in this case

you will need to custom the template file,

e.g. mynews.php

with for example:

notice that we use:
$item->catid
instead of:
$this->item->catid

which we used inside the item view

in any case you should use the item variable that is used inside THE ITEM LOOP:

e.g. you will find inside the news
