Getting sub category images to show up on the main category page

I was wondering if it is possible to get an image to show up for each sub category on the main category page?

An example would be...

Wine Racks = The main Category

Individuals = Sub Category
Tables = Sub Category
Bins = Sub Category

I would like for a photo of individuals, tables and bins to show up when you click on Wine Racks link. (the main category)

Any Help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You!

Hmm. Actually that's normal. Have you uploaded category images for your subcategories? Do you have the Admin > Layout Settings > Categories - Always Show on Main Page set to "1"?

Re: Getting sub category images to show up on the main category page

We do have the images set up and for the catagories to show up on the main page now. But we actually have sub sub categories we want to show up. The problem is that we want the sub catagories represented on its main folder. For Instance:

When you are in the Wine Racks Section should show an image of sub catagories of Classic Series, Estate Series, etc. Once you click on those categories you have more sub sub categories - Individuals, Bins, etc. which should be represented.

Re: Getting sub category images to show up on the main category page

So you're wanting the sub-subcats and the subcats to all show up on the top cat page? That would take a bunch of custom coding. A link to see what structure you have, and a mockup/description of the behavior you want, would help here.

Re: Getting sub category images to show up on the main category page

We don't want all sub-sub category images to show on the main level page. We are trying to get the sub-sub category images to show up on the sub category page and then have the sub category images to show up on the main category page.

Make sense? Here is a link to our shopping cart in progress.

Re: Getting sub category images to show up on the main category page

It looks like you already have the behavior you are requesting; you definitely have the full normal behavior as far as category/subcategory images are concerned. So what do you want that you are not getting?
