Any one know if it's possible to change block_cmsarticles template so that it displays the preview image for the article instead of the author avatar?

I had a quick play by grabbing bits of code from the vbcms_content_article_preview template, but I couldn't get it to work (image placeholders appeared, but no images). However, I'm not particularly technical, so I'm probably forgetting something fundamental, so it's best if someone who actually knows what they are doing has a go... Many thanks.

The code for creating the cmsarticles forum block is in includes/block/cmsarticles.php, and the problem is that it doesn't read the previewimage field from the database, so you're not going to get it to display just by editing the template, you'd have to modify the code.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
