Not a problem, but...

Create a blog with intro images. Some articles are long and have a 'read more' link added. Some articles are short and don't need a 'read more' link. There is the option to turn off linked titles in the individual articles, but only a global setting for linked intro images in the category blog menu item setup (under the 'Blog Layout' tab). If this option is on, then anyone clicking an image - as they might be tempted to do, because the mouse pointer changes to a hand at this point - will be disappointed not to see more text.

Describe the solution you'd like

Add an option to link intro images per article in the article options.

actually its a bug. a link should not be created if there is no readmore but there is no check for this in the layout

joomla-cms/layouts/joomla/content/intro_image.php

Lines 31 to 34 in 766226e

    
           <?php if ($params->get('link_intro_image') && ($params->get('access-view') || $params->get('show_noauth', '0') == '1')) : ?> 
        
               <a href="<?php echo Route::_(RouteHelper::getArticleRoute($displayData->slug, $displayData->catid, $displayData->language)); ?>" itemprop="url" title="<?php echo $this->escape($displayData->title); ?>"> 
        
                   <?php echo LayoutHelper::render('joomla.html.image', array_merge($layoutAttr, ['itemprop' => 'thumbnailUrl'])); ?> 
        
               </a>

@brianteeman then the link in the title cant be created too if there is not readmore, right? I think, the readmore button should not decide if the image or the title will have a link too. Maybe hidden the readmore button is just part of the page style/desing, and not as defining the article will not have a link at all. What do you think?

Not a bug, but a request for changed behavior. Marking thus as feature for now.
