subcategory image

[kelleymotorsports]

on our site www.kelleymotorsports.com if you go to Parts > Hisun 700 you will see the parts sections. i added a picture to the category "Shift Shaft Assembly" and what i want it to do is actually show after on click on that category.

so you click shift shaft assembly and when the section loads, that picture would show up at the top as a parts diagram for the parts listed in the category. maybe i am not explaining this right but hopefully someone can understand. i just want it there for reference and then they can scroll down to select their part(s)

Check your settings in the Configuration ... Product Listing ... for the:

Include Product Listing Sub Categories Image
Do you want to include the Sub Categories Image on the Product Listing?

true
false

make sure it is turned on ...

I expect you want a large image for the parts diagram, and having that as the category's official image would mean loading a big file for a thumbnail image of the category in category listing pages. It might work better to turn off the "show category image" and just put the big parts diagram image into the category description. Then you can use a small file for the thumbnail if you want.

I suspect your Template Monster template may be restricting what can display in the product listing page. The "Property categories:" is something I have seen on other TM templates, and not part of stock ZC. TM must somehow have hard-coded it into the template file. Find where that is (possibly /includes/templates/your_template/templates/tpl_modules_product_listing.php) and you may see what else they have done.

i'm looking but am terrible at code. anything you see that i dont.

the file i want will not be large in file size just large enough to see the picture is all.

[gjh42]

I believe the file with the relevant code will be /includes/templates/your_template/templates/tpl_index_product_list.php.

[kelleymotorsports]

k i will look in there next.

this is what i am looking to do

http://shop.kelleymotorsports.com/te...dex&cPath=2_35

so when you actually go into that section of parts they can refer to the break down at the top.

follow me?

[kelleymotorsports]

theres more to the file but i'm assuming it has something to do with this section?

The /* and */ are commenting out the category image, preventing it from displaying no matter what you set in admin. This is shoddy template design, deciding for the user what they will be allowed to do.
Remove the <?php /* and */?> and you will see the image.
