Those fields are the mini-CCK feature in Joomla 2.5.

You can replicate this feature in FLEXIcontent using your own image fields and links fields.
So supporting those fields does not seem to make sense.

You can see more about the Joomla feature here:
community.joomla.org/blogs/community/153...es-in-joomla-25.html

Use the Images and URL Fields to Create Simple Standardized Layouts

In 2.5 you can choose to use the existing image and URL fields in the articles to set up a simple standardized layout for blogs, news reports, etc. These are fields that existed in the database but were never used. After you activate the feature in the Article Options Editing Layouts, you will be able to specify an image for the introduction and an image for the full article, as well as 3 links. This means that your content creators won't have to fuss with an image in the text (you can even disable the image button in the editor) and your article format will be cleaner and more consistent. You can use css, layout over rides and alternative layouts to customize your pages even further. This feature also allows easy customization of the back end article editor to limit content creator and content editor options, for example removing the ability to change the images or publishing options.

Of interest to: Site administrators, site creators, content creators for sites that need a simple, consistent content layouts but not a full featured CCK.

The display of those fields is controlled by a setting in the Article Manager options.

Hello, I have the same problem maybe. I need to set full article image for content because of showcase module "roksprocket". There is no image in category view without full article image or intro image set.

Thank you very much for your help

Best regards from Prague.

Hello,

Hello, since these are parameters you can edit the files:
components/com_flexicontent/models/forms/item.xml
administrator/components/com_flexicontent/models/forms/item.xml

and add them, just before
<fieldset name="themes" ...

These despite not used/supported by FC (yet) will give you compatibility with joomla category view and with the module that you mentioned

Code:

<fieldset name="images_and_links" label="Images and Links" description="">
	<field name="" type="separator" default="Images (Compatibility, used by Joomla Built-in Views and modules)" description="..." level="level2" />
	<field name="" type="separator" default="Intro Images (Joomla category/featured/etc views)" description="..." level="level3" />

Thank you for your help, but it's not functional unfortunately

Field "Parameters: Images and Links" is in setting of item/content. That's right, but finaly images are not shown in showcase module.

I'm sorry for bother you. But it's very important for me. Thank you so much for any advice. :roll:

Hello,

The parameters are not saved or they are saved but not used?

-- you may also need to make sure that "Frontend Images and Links" parameter is enabled in "Options" of Joomla Article Manager.

-- Please edit FLEXIcontent System Plugin and select "Super Users" to be exclude from redirection
Then visit Joomla Article Manager check that the parameter "image and links" is enabled

hi, that's not the problem. Those things are enabled in article manager > options. When I set full article image or intro image with default joomla article manager, then it's OK. Image is shown right in showcase and I can see it in article back-end of that article too. But only in default article manager. There is no image in flexi-content article manager.

This is default article manager, where image is set right.
