Image support - HELIX3 blog options - featured image and post formats

[Lisa]

Helix uses its own way to attach images to articles.
RAXO All-mode PRO module is designed to work with core Joomla content component. So it can process images that are either inside Joomla article body or in article image fields.

Hello.
Change in file helper.php

Code: Select all

		if ($show_text || ($show_image && ($image_source == 'text' || $image_source == 'automatic')))
		{
			$query->select(' a.introtext, a.fulltext, a.attribs');
		}

		$show_image && $image_source != 'text' ? $query->select(' a.images, a.attribs') : '';

and

Code: Select all

		$empty	= array_fill_keys(array('id', 'title', 'title_full', 'link', 'date', 'author',
					'image', 'image_src', 'image_alt', 'image_title', 'text', 'readmore',
					'category', 'category_id', 'category_name', 'category_link', 'featured',
					'hits', 'rating', 'rating_value', 'rating_count',
					'comments', 'comments_count', 'comments_link', 'attribs'), '');
		$empty	= JArrayHelper::toObject($empty);

and

Code: Select all

		// Retrieve Image
		$img	= array_fill_keys(array('src', 'alt', 'ttl'), '');
		//$images = ($image_source != 'text') ? json_decode($item->images) : '';
		$images = ($image_source != 'text') ? json_decode($item->attribs) : '';

		if (!empty($images->spfeatured_image) && ($image_source == 'intro' || $image_source == 'automatic'))
		{
			$img['src'] = $images->spfeatured_image;
			//$img['alt'] = $images->image_intro_alt;
			//$img['ttl'] = $images->image_intro_caption;
		}

and select in the module advanced image settings: Intro Image

Thank you for the instruction How to add Helix image support.
Yes, it should work.

An important notice:
While adding support for Helix images, this instruction kills support for core Joomla intro and full article images.

I am using Helix 3 framework inserting image from Featured (Helix Option).
This image is not used by Raxo selection mode of thumbnails.

You can check on http://rivistageomedia.it where new articles of today are shown without thumb.
(old article of 2018 ralized with K2 worked better)

Can you check the possibility to add automatically the generation of thumbs ?

Hello,

Thank you for your reply! I would like to clarify what I’m looking for.

Joomla currently lacks some features that are available in WordPress, such as a featured image and post types (e.g., Standard, Gallery, Video, Audio). I am interested in implementing a similar functionality in RAXO modules, where the module items on the frontend can dynamically display content based on the type of the article.

For example:

Gallery articles: Display a gallery icon or allow the photos in the gallery to slide/rotate directly within the module.
Video articles: Show the video itself or a play icon overlay on the thumbnail.
Audio articles: Display an audio icon or player within the module item.
Would it be possible to achieve this functionality in RAXO modules?

Looking forward to your response.

Best regards,
Petar
