Good morning,

Can you please tell me if there is a way to add an icon next to each article title of a certain category so as all the articles of the same category when appearing to an articles category module list to have the same icon in front of their title?

I want this icon to be visible in front of each article's title while shown on the list. The reason I want to do this is that in case an articles category module contains articles from two different categories I want the reader looking to the articles category module list to recognize at a glance from the icon in front of articles which article reffers to the one category and which to the other category.

Thank you in advance for your kind help.

Best regards,

Eri Koraka

Hi Eri

Not sure if I understand you correctly. Would you have a URL to an example of the article title(s) to which you wish to add an icon?

Hi,

Please see the following link http://www.helex.gr.
At the bottom of the page, at the modules titled PRESS RELEASES-INFORMATION and COMPANY ANNOUNCEMENTS, before the title of each announcement you can see a small icon. How can I add such an icon in front of the title of the articles of my website that are under a certain category?

More specific, in my website http://www.megarevma.gr/new I have created an articles category module which is shown on the homepage and contains articles of two different categories that I have created. I want to add a small icon in front of each article so as the reader to understand if the article refers to the one category or the other.

I want the article categories list to look like the following:
{Icon from category 1} Linked title of article
{Icon from category 1} Linked title of article
{Icon from category 2} Linked title of article
{Icon from category 1} Linked title of article
{Icon from category 2} Linked title of article
......

I hope this sounds clearer to you.

If you need further clarifications please tell me.

Thank you so much for your help!

Kind regards,

Eri

Thank you Eri.. I believe I understand you now.

Sorry to say this is not really possible as the articles category module does set any unique class names to its items depending on their category. Adding unique icons depends on unique class names. Your only option would be to add the same icon to all the items.

A possible solution using Joomlas default module extensions would be with a menu module however your list will not be dynamic, meaning you will have to create each item manually via the menu manager.
