Displaying Category Images instead of product images

[Jongle]

I don't intend to have any individual product images. Instead i want the product image to be replaced by the subcategory image.

Is this possible?

When you set up the product in Admin, and you get to the image part, just enter the subcat image. Zencart won't care if they're all the same.

If you have products that are in more than one category, that would be a problem.

Thanks for the speedy response. This would be one sollution, but I was hoping there would be a way for me to just set the category image and after that all the products would just inherit the same image. Im almost sure i read how to do it before but just cant remember where. Maybe I was dreaming!

I think what i need to do is:
Find whatever PHP file declares the product image and replace the line of code with a call for the category image.
Unfortunatelay i have no knowledge of PHP. Anybody have any suggestions?
