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
dd

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
