While trying to override the way the intro images are displayed in blog layout (I want to add a class to the images), I run into this code in templates/MYTEMPLATE/html/com_content/category/blog_item.php:
<?php echo JLayoutHelper::render('joomla.content.intro_image', $this->item); ?>
What's the best/correct way to override this and control how my intro-images are displayed?
You would want to match the path that you send as the first parameter within your template at templates/*your_template*/html/layouts/
So in the example you listed of <?php echo JLayoutHelper::render('joomla.content.intro_image', $this->item); ?> copy the file currently at layouts/joomla/content/intro_image.php to templates/*your_template*/html/layouts/joomla/content/intro_image.php and it should use the version in your template instead of the default layout.
