Category Images Not Displaying

[high2K]

If you do a search in the Tools ... Developers Tool Kit ... in the bottom input box and search the Catalog for:
categoryImgListing

What files come up?

templates/iC_AcadameV1.2/templates/tpl_index_product_list.php
templates/template_default/templates/tpl_index_categories.php
templates/template_default/templates/tpl_index_product_list.php

[high2K]

Also check the files:
/includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_index_categories.php
/includes/templates/your_template_dir/templates/tpl_index_categories.php

has something changed to not call the right image? Or is something forcing the pixel image to be used?

Neither of these files have been touched since install and the images were displaying just fine until recently

Hi,

We're also experiencing the exact same problem. Top level category images are not displaying on sub category / product index pages. We have checked the settings listed earlier in this post.

add the following code after LINE 43 at the file -\includes\templates\YOUR TEMPLATE\sideboxes\tpl_categories.php


// categories_image
$categorySelect = str_replace('cPath=','',$box_categories_array[$i]['path']);
$categories_image = zen_get_categories_image($categorySelect);
$myCategoryImage = zen_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $categories_image, 'Click for details', '275', '275');
//


$content .= $myCategoryImage;
$content .= '<br /> <br />' . "\n";
// end adding image code

Hi, solved the problem, might not be the most elegant solution but here we go:

comment out the original if{ statement on line 22 in tpl_index_product_list.php (IN YOUR TEMPLATE FOLDER) then paste the following below it:

// ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
// REDPAINT MODIFICATION TO SHOW TOP CATEGORY IMAGE
define(TOP_CATEGORY_ID,substr($cPath, 0, strpos($cPath, '_')));
$top_image_exists = zen_get_categories_image(TOP_CATEGORY_ID);
if(!empty($top_image_exists)) {
$categories_image = zen_get_categories_image(TOP_CATEGORY_ID);
// END MODIFICATION
// ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

That's it. Although you may need some CSS styling to get it to look how you want it. Hope this helps others.
