Zen Tools 2 image is the first one from after the Read More?

zentoolsIf you use Zentools please post a review at the Joomla! Extensions Directory.

I have just downloaded Zen Tools 2 and am exploring substituting one of my Zen 1 modules with the Zen Tools 2.

If I set Zen Tools 1 to show articles in a category and to show image, title and introtext as a carousel, Zen Tools 1 would pick up the first image in each article no matter if that first image was before the read more or after it.

As far as I can tell, Zen Tools 2 picks up the first image AFTER the read more (ignoring any in the introtext). Can this be changed with a setting that I have missed?

I need the responsive qualities of Zen Tools 2 and am going to have to do a major rework of a 200 article site if I cannot get it to show the first image from each article.... :S

Fingers crossed I just missed a setting....thanks for any assistance.

Hi

With the image - it varies where the image is in the content?

e.g. you have articles with image in the introtext and some articles not using intro text?

Thanks for your assistance Paul,

All the articles in the site have a small image in the introtext and a large one below the Read More.

In Zen Tools 1 The image it used was always the small one from the introtext.

Thanks

Thanks for following this up Paul,

Do you mean a screenshot of the Zen Tools 1 or Zen Tools 2 settings?

Hi Paul,

The Zen tools2 module is displaying as intended now (without me having altered the settings).

I have moved onto a new machine so perhaps my problem was related to corrupted cache files.

Thanks very much for your assistance.
