Can't get Joomla article images from the database column

Hello! Thank you for this powerful timeline module!

I'm currently trying to use it to simply display articles including their images from the standard Joomla Core article feature.

In the database images column, images are linked to like this -

{"image_intro":"images\/joomlart\/demo\/tennis-7.jpg","float_intro":"","image_intro_alt":"","image_intro_caption":"","image_fulltext":"images\/joomlart\/demo\/tennis-7.jpg","float_fulltext":"","image_fulltext_alt":"","image_fulltext_caption":""}

I've set this as the Images column in the module, but the HTML then ends up like this
Code:
<div class="cd-timeline-img cd-picture"> <img src="/2017/{" image_intro":"images\="" joomlart\="" demo\="" world-4.jpg","float_intro":"","image_intro_alt":"","image_intro_caption":"","image_fulltext":"images\="" world-4.jpg","float_fulltext":"","image_fulltext_alt":"","image_fulltext_caption":""}"="" width="32" height="32" alt="thumb" class="img-circle"> </div>

which of course, doesn't work.

How do I get it to simply display articles with their images in a timeline?

You can view the current set up at the bottom of the following page

Hello, sorry for the late reply, I missed your post.
You can't get these images from the query as they are part of json encoded data.
They should have had their own dedicated database column.

No worries! OK having the article images was a crucial feature for the client and this unfortunately makes it unusable in our case. Could I please get a refund?

Thank you!

Actually, you still can use it for your need thanks to the module flexibility allowing to set it with static data and allowing you to get any image you like.

This is very disappointing! It would take nothing for you to manage this in the code.! The tag line says "Flexible Timelines for any Joomla data"
Why not offer some better Presets that include the intro and fulltext images as options?
