    help question Changing Category text to Images?

    Okay, I hope this isn't too difficult since I have subcategories but here is what I would like to accomplish:

    If you look at the Category Sidebox to the right, you just see normal text. Well, what if I make small rectangular images with the category names on it? Will I be able to use those images instead? (To make it more fancy)...

    Okay, so, say I have those small rectangular images, how can I erase the category texts and add the images so it is menu images and not menu text?

    Do you get what I'm saying? lol

    THANKS!!!

    Because of the dynamic nature of Zen Cart(and most other php carts) this is not a simple issue - what if you decide to add another cat later - you have to break the code to not show text and hard code each the cats to be specific images

    Therefore, you then can not manage this from the admin from thereon

    Categories Dressing (which wewuvanimals.com is trying to use) automatically checks for an image filename based on the category id, and uses it if present or uses the standard text if the file is not present.
    No ongoing code management needed, only adding an image file if desired for new cats.
