Hi
Can anyone suggest a way to allow the k2 item image to be displayed with the k2 item intro text? (I'm happy to patch files if need be).
I really need each items small image (eg. media/k2/items/cache/e7c0584255fa6f2981e510285a9e9e4f_S.jpg) to be displayed left aligned to each k2 item title and intro text. Is this achievable do you think?
Cheers
Emily :)

Hi Emily,

The image in the same line as the title is tricky and would involve modifications in quite a few different places.
Here is how to show the image next to the article text:

Edit the file administrator/components/com_joomailermailchimpintegration/controllers/create.php
(Line numbers apply to version 1.7)

Replace:
Code:
$html_content = $art->introtext;

with:
Code:
if( JFile::exists( JPATH_SITE.'/media/k2/items/cache/'.md5("Image".$id).'_S.jpg' ) ){ $html_content = '<img src="'.JURI::root().'media/k2/items/cache/'.md5("Image".$id).'_S.jpg" align="left" alt="'.$art->title.'" title="'.$art->title.'" /> '; } $html_content .= $art->introtext;

in line 1347 and 309.

Kind regards,
Pete

Hi Pete,
Thanks for the speedy reply. I've tried the code you supplied - but alas - still no images showing in the preview. I've double checked that all the k2 items I'm including have images - which they do.... just can't get them to show up. Thought maybe it was something to do with the truncate patch I'd applied earlier - so i removed that...but still no luck!
Any ideas?
Thanks for the help.
Cheers
Emily

I can't really tell why it's not working. If you like you can send me a superadmin login and ftp credentials to your site and I'll take a look. pete@freakedout.de

Done. The truncate patch doesn't have anything todo with it. Maybe you didn't replace = with .= in the line where you call the truncate function. = does assign a new value to the var while .= appends something to the end of the current value.

Kind regards,
Pete

Thanks so much Pete - Working beautifully now :) You were right - I hadn't replaced = with .= - all makes sense now.
Thanks again for your help. An awesome mailchimp integration!

Cheers

Hello! Has support for k2 Images been implemented yet? I just want to make sure before I try to apply this hack. Need K2 images also.

Hi,

No it's not implemented in the current version. You need to apply the hack from above.

Kind regards,
Pete
