Category List: Link item-image to its item was created by elysium

Hello Flexicontent communtiy

Unfortunately I coulnd't find a similar thread with a resolution which works for me:

In Category List View, i'm displaying a single small thumbnail image, which's uploaded into the item/article with a single image field.

How can I link this image automatically to the related Item in this Category List View?

Regards

Category Layout of Blog template has parameters
-- to display an image field as item image and
-- also a another parameter for linking the image to the item

To link the image of another template you will need
1. to disable popup in category view in image field parameters
2. edit category_items.php add an <A> before and after the image field like this (take care to change image fieldname below:

Code:

echo '<a href="'.JRoute::_(FlexicontentHelperRoute::getItemRoute($items[$i]->slug, $items[$i]->categoryslug)).'" class="hasTip" title="'.JText::_( 'FLEXI_READ_MORE_ABOUT' ) . '::' . htmlspecialchars($items[$i]->title, ENT_COMPAT, 'UTF-8') .'">';
echo FlexicontentFields::getFieldDisplay($items[$i], 'myimagefieldname', $values=null, $method='display');
echo '';

i guess it makes sense to add a parameter to image field for linking to item , when image field is displayed in category view

Many thanks!

I did get it today with the blog-template. Unfortunatley the blog template item/category-view isn't that fleixble as I need it. I'm going to try later the other possibility without the blog template.

I'll leave another comment here asap
