Sub-Category images

[KathyG]

I’ve had my template for several years and have never used category images. I now have one sub-category where I want the images to show up on the category page. After searching thru the forums I changed:

Admin/Configuration/Product Listing to:
Include Product Listing Sub Categories Image true
Include Product Listing Top Categories Image true

I have uploaded images to the categories, but they still aren’t showing up. I’m guessing it must be something in my template, but I can’t find it. Any idea what it could be?

Here is a link to a page https://www.scrappinstuff.com/store/...-center-c-210/

Use your admin's Tools->Developers Tool Kit to search all catalog/storefront files for PRODUCT_LIST_CATEGORIES_IMAGE_STATUS and PRODUCT_LIST_CATEGORIES_IMAGE_STATUS_TOP, respectively. That will identify where in the various templates those database-constant definitions are used.

I searched for those and found it in my templates/tpl_index_categories.php file

It says

if (PRODUCT_LIST_CATEGORIES_IMAGE_STATUS == 'true') {
// categories_image
if ($categories_image = zen_get_categories_image($current_category_id)) {
?>
<div id="categoryImgListing" class="categoryImg"><?php echo zen_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $categories_image, '', CATEGORY_ICON_IMAGE_WIDTH, CATEGORY_ICON_IMAGE_HEIGHT); ?></div>

Isn't that saying that the images should be showing up?

That's saying that if the image exists, display it. When I do a "View Source" (Ctrl+U) on that page, I find no elements with id="categoryImgListing", which says to me that the image wasn't found.

That's weird because they are showing up on the admin side. And if I just put the image name in the browser it shows up.

Hmm, if I click on 100% Cowboy Layout on the link you posted initially, that image does display.

Are you talking about the little image under the name? Or the larger image. The larger one is hard coded in the description.

What I want is the category image to show above the category name on the https://www.scrappinstuff.com/store/...-center-c-210/ page.

The code for the display of these images is in includes/modules/YOUR_TEMPLATE/category_row.php. You can see that the call to the image is inside a "categoryListBoxContents" div.

That's where I would begin to look. Does the image appear if you switch to Zen Cart classic template? If it does then there's probably something awry in your template's copy of category_row.php

Spot-on, @simon1066!

Thank you so much to the both of you for the help. I've got it mostly fixed now. The includes/modules/YOUR_TEMPLATE/category_row.php file was didn't have the image in it.
