Category image in let hand nav?

[roger06]

Hi

I want to be able to display the top level category image in the left hand navigation but can't see an option to do this.

Can this be done from the admin, do I need to download a module or altered code or do I have to just code it myself ?

Thanks

Instead of the normal category menu?

Depending on how you want this set up, you could most likely use one or another feature of Categories Dressing for it. A specific plan description or mockup would allow specific advice.

Hi

I just want the category image under its header like the attached graphic...

[gjh42]

Do you only want that particular category to have its image there? Or only the current selected top cat? Or all of the top cats?

You can use the subtext feature to add an image below its category. It won't automatically use the category's image; you will have to code in the specific file you want to use.
The standard ZC code does retrieve the category image filename, so it wouldn't be hard to code that into tpl_categories.php and make it automatic.

Thanks - I've coded it in to tpl_categories.php but it's far from perfect but does the job!
