如何获取joomla文章的介绍图片

Question

I am trying to customize the the category list of my website. So I have a menu option that shows the list of all article is a certain category. In this list I would like to show the into image of the article too. But unfortunately I cannot find the path of this intro image of each article to put it in the '' tag.

This code takes the first image in the article. Which is not what I want.

<?php
$text = $article->introtext;
if(preg_match('/<\s*img[^>]+>/Ui', $text, $matches)){

   $image=$matches[0];
   $text = str_replace($image,'',$text);
}
if ($matches) {
$image = str_replace('img src="','img width="150px" src="/demo/persianlondon/',$image);
$image = str_replace("caption","", $image);
echo '' . $image . '';
}
else {echo '<img width="150px" src="http://goo.gl/k47rNN" class="defaultArticleImage" />';}
?>

So I need to get the intro image url and set it for $image . Any idea to do it?

If you are talkin about blog view of a category, this code will write out the intro image filename with path, if you put it in file:

jroot/component/com_content/views/category/tmpl/blog.php or in the template overrided blog.php file.

$article_items = $this->get('lead_items');
foreach ($article_items as $item) {
  $imageObj = json_decode($item->images);
  echo $imageObj->image_intro;
}

other variables of $imageObj :

stdClass Object
 (
   [image_intro] => 
   [float_intro] => 
   [image_intro_alt] => 
   [image_intro_caption] => 
   [image_fulltext] => 
   [float_fulltext] => 
   [image_fulltext_alt] => 
   [image_fulltext_caption] => 
 )
