Well. after sleeping on it, I got it to work. I don't know that it's efficient or bulletproof, but it functions. It also could use a rollover, but that's a disaster I'm not sure I want to think about at the moment :blink:
So I located tpl_modules_categories_tabs by hunting the div in the dev toolkit. I split the output of $links_list[$i] into two variables:
$cathref - all of <a href blah>
$catname - just the text of the category name
I took your "prodname" example from the image titles readme as a base, and changed the expected filename to "cattab- . $catname". I kept your conditional intact and simply changed the output to wrap it in "$cathref" and "</a>"
Like i say, it works. It seems that there ought to be a better way to parse the URL though, that doesn't hang on hardcoded math like this. I also had the thought to lowercase the catname, but it wouldn't make the file completely case-insensitive, so I didn't bother.
