Summary of Changes
When 'Use Global' is selected for Image Class in the Articles
module, the global value was not being applied to the figure tag.
The code was checking if float_intro was empty, but 'Use Global'
is not empty — it's a literal string. Fixed by also checking if
the value equals 'Use Global' and fetching the actual global
value in that case.
Testing Instructions
- Set a default Image Class in Articles e.g. "image-intro"
- Use the Articles site module
- Set Image Class to "Use Global"
- Check the HTML output
- Figure tag should now include the global image class

Cannot find anywhere to "Set Image Class" anywhere in the article module.

@Chitrakshi180706 - Hi Chitrakshi, thank you so much for your contribution and proposal of this PR to fix Issue 47335 unfortunately, we could NOT find the Image Class in the Articles Module.
@cybersalt @exlemor you misunderstood. There is a setting for the articles component to set the default image class
In an article you will see that you can either use that global setting or change it for that article
However when the article is displayed in a module this image class (either custom or global) is not used.
Having said all of that
- I am not sure that you would want to use the image class of the article when its displayed in a module
- This PR doesnt change anything

"Use Global" is never stored as a literal string. float_intro is a type="text" field with useglobal="true"
(administrator/components/com_content/forms/article.xml:751). For text fields useglobal only renders a placeholder hint (TextField.php:245), the stored
value is an empty string. So $images->float_intro === 'Use Global' is dead code. It would also break on non-English sites, since that string is translated.
Sorry, but this PR doesn’t make sense because a) it doesn’t solve the problem, b) it would then also need to be adapted for fullimage, and c) it’s better to resolve this in ArticlesHelper.php around Line 411.
I am therefore closing this PR @HLeithner.
