Showing Category Images on Main Page

Hello,

On my main page I want to show a listing of all the shopping categories available with category images. I'm sure there must be an easy way to do this but I just can't find it.

I would also like to show subcategory images when someone clicks on a main category that has multiple subcategories...

Thanks for the help guys! This forum is a great & helpful resource for anyone using ZC!

I'm looking for an answer to this question as well. Kevin, if you have figured it out, will you please post the steps here? :smile:

admin panel/ configurations/ maximum values / Maximum Categories Products Display List

I have this set to 10 but still nothing shows up on my home page. Maybe I'm posting on the wrong thread? I want to have my category images show up in the center column of my home page. :dontgetit

Is there something else I should do?

Okay Haredo, let's go for a double hand clap! Do you know what I can do so that the name of the category doesn't show under the images? I basically want to end up with images for my categories on the home page. I am going to include the name of each category in the image itself. :lookaroun

F,
I need a link to the page in question

If you want titles removed only from the home page category images, the post 10 link now has instructions for that too.

I'm sorry but I'm new to Zen Cart and to this forum. Can you please explain to me what the post 10 link means? :blush:

I tried to implement the suggestion from that thread but because I am just learning HTML, the instructions were not specific enough for me. What I ended up with was a change in size of my images but the category names still existed. :unsure:

The link Haredo gave in post #10... :)

Ahhh Haaa! I, for whatever reason (lack of coffee maybe) never even noticed that link in that post! I read it as if he were coming back with another link. SOOOO, I'm going to check it out and let the both of you know what happens.

Thanks so much for your help! Be right back (hopefully)

Ok, it worked! Thank you both!

For Haredo :clap::clap::clap:

And of course, I can't leave out Glenn:clap::clap::clap:
