how to let Related Items Extended only show image?

Today I bought this commercial extension and tested it on Joomla 3.2.2.
It works fine: can show related articles.
But, there is some great features missing:

I want to show ONLY the image of realted article. That is to say, no title, no author, no date, no category name, etc. Only show the image.

However, I did not find an option to do so.

Could you please add some option to allow me "hide title" and "hide category" ?

Thanks.

Well, I fount there is an option to hide the "article title".

But, when I choose "Title - None" for Item Title parameter, my frontend page show me following error messages:

Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$isIntroImage in D:\xampp\htdocs\sbt\modules\mod_relateditems_xtd\tmpl\default.php on line 94

Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$isFulltextImage in D:\xampp\htdocs\sbt\modules\mod_relateditems_xtd\tmpl\default.php on line 94

I am testing on XAMPP v1.8.4. Does those error message means that this module does not support PHP 5.3 ?

If this is a bug, hope you will fix it soon.

Thanks.

Attached is my module settings. Please check it, and help me to achive my goal: only sow intro image with its caption below the image in the module, no any other title or intro-text or category, etc.

BTW, don't you think these parameters were grouped too ugly? Could you please arrange them into Tabs and make the backend more neat?

Thanks.

Thanks for your help. This new version improved a little, But something still needs to be done:

Now, it can hide the Category Title and Article Title and the "Related Articles" header text, this is good.

But, there is a parameter labeled "# Introtext Item", when set to "1" , there shows "More Articles" and its underline decoration. If set to "0"(because I only want a thumbnail grid 3x1), then everything vanished but following error message:

Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$isIntroImage in /home/u709034041/public_html/modules/mod_relateditems_xtd/tmpl/default.php on line 99 Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$isFulltextImage in /home/u709034041/public_html/modules/mod_relateditems_xtd/tmpl/default.php on line 99 Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$isFirstImage in /home/u709034041/public_html/modules/mod_relateditems_xtd/tmpl/default.php on line 99 Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$isNoImage in /home/u709034041/public_html/modules/mod_relateditems_xtd/tmpl/default.php on line 99

What is wrong? And what is the exact meaning of that parameter "# Introtext Item"? Are you trying to do a layout like the Joomla default frontpage ( one leading article, several intro article, and several linked article)? That is bad, because I only want to show a 3 column one row image grid below my article, and each image links to its corresponding article (full-text) page, with its caption below the image. Oh, yes, this new version has no option for "show / hide image caption" (caption was input via the "image and links" paramter in the article editing page).

Hope you can understand me and improve it further.

Thanks.
