    Default Customize Category Info Display

    I've been searching for how to customize how the category image and description are displayed. I have 3 problems:

    1) I need to adjust the image from 40x40px to a custom size like 75%by75%

    2) I need the image to float left with the text wrapping the left and bottom of the image

    3) I need to add an alternate text to the category and subcategory image like (img src="blah" alt="i need text here!")

    I hope someone useful reads this...
    I checked the forums and tutorials so don't refer me!

    The images on the page you posted are 80px high not 40px...
    admin > config > images > set height & width in proportion for the image you want
    2) I need the image to float left with the text wrapping the left and bottom of the image
    On what page is this?
    3) I need to add an alternate text to the category and subcategory image like (img src="blah" alt="i need text here!")
    I do not think that there is a place/record in the DB for image alt text

    You can set the size of your category images in Configuration > Images.

    To make the text wrap the image, add this to your stylesheet:

    #categoryImgListing {float: left; margin-right: 1.2em;}

    Thanks.

    When you click on a category, there is a picture. I guess if there's no place for alternate text then i'll have to wait for a future update that has it.

    And???

    Post a link directly to the page you have an issue with and provide concise description of what you want.

    It says Protein Powder, then it has a picture underneath it. The picture doesn't have any alternate text when I right click -> properties. I can't find a place to define alternate text for the picture of the red bottle.

    This is the same answer as before...category image and there are/can be many...image name is in the DB from where you define the image to associate with this category when you create it but there is no allowance for alt text nor a DB record to hold it
