Congratulation! It's an excellent and useful plugin.

It's a very, very good Plugin, which does exactly what it intends to do: let the first image of an article has the same function that has the "Read More" button. Whatever, I missed something: if the image has the same power that the "Read More" button, why the Plugin don't give some option to hide this button? Anyway, it's very usefull!
Owner's reply
In fact, Joomla Core already have the option to hide the "Read More" button.
Content->Article Manager->Parameters->Read More...Links
Please select "Hide".

Was exactly what I was after, should be part of the Joomla core.
One note though I removed the alt attribute from the tag as this was causing validation issues (i think it's invalid markup???), but still warrants an excellent rating!
thanks heaps!

After a little change in source code the plugin finally start to run. So, for those who plug-in just don't work after install see this : http://www.joomlatags.org/index.php?option=com_ccboard&view=postlist&forum=2&topic=8

that's a great plugin and works straight after the installation. It doesn't work on frontpages that are using FrontPagePlus component, but still deserve 5 stars, great job

I've been testing and tweaking add-ons all day for various needs and it sure feels good when one just works. Does its thing and does it well.
When is a myth not a myth? When it really is plug-n-play.

Again one of these little gems that makes you love Joomla (and wonder why such a usefull feature is not part of the default package anyway).
Congratulations to the developper !

This works like a charm... now if only the developer would release another plugin that makes the intro text turn into a link to the article in similar fashion... then I could have the image and the text take them to the article page!
byjonathanperz on February 19, 2009
This little gem automates the process of turning your front-page article intro images into hyperlinks to the complete article! Because sites are graphically designed, many will click on your intro image instead of the readmore link. This solves that problem.
Up in a snap, easy to use, works like a champ! If you use images in the introduction of your articles, this one is an ABSOLUTE MUST HAVE!

Took me 3 seconds to get this set up. And it makes the click through on the category blog entries way more intuitive. Great extension!
byrasterblaster on February 10, 2009
This is going on my list of "most useful extensions that must go on every website"
I have seen many people clicking on pictures in the blog to try and go to the corresponding article, and this fixes the problem without having to put in hyperlinks by hand.
- Would be great if you can add the ability for it to work in "Section blogs" too.
Just realised that after installing as one of my blogs is a section blog :o(
- Please add that feature in your next release.

i am running a wallpaper site and this little plugin is amazing even though not working with sh404sef, so i cant use it on my site. But basically idea is great and if you are using only Joomla SEFs it is superb
Owner's reply
I will check sh404sef, and try to make it workable.
byfreakedout on February 10, 2009
Thats a really good plugin. It makes the blog layout more intuitive to use and works without any problems. Simply install and activate it and there you go.
Many thanks to the developer!
