Adding images as links in Catogries sidebox

Hello fellow Zenners, I am trying to find out how I can add images as links in my categories sidebox. I want my sidebox to look like this **Sidebox**. I know this may a silly question but I have been searching everywhere for this.

Re: Adding images as links in Catogries sidebox

Thanks for the links Obe but I have already checked them out and still no luck :no:
I want the images to be links to their own pages within zencart(internal)... I dont need them to be rollovers but just just links to the homeware products page, etc.
Thanks!!!

These are really categories you want to style, right? They appear to all be links that already appear in the categories sidebox.

If this is the case, you can style them with Categories Dressing, which has the ability to replace a text link with an image link simply by naming the image file correctly.

Yes the images will be the sub headings ie. Art - (art image) which will be a link. I downloaded the categories mod and had a look but just having trouble adding the images to the categories sidebox. ANy help to this will be of great help.
Thanks, :smile:

You need to know the category id or cPath for each category (look in the address bar at the top of the page when you are in the category.)

Save the image files like catimg23.gif, in /includes/templates/your_template/images/.

Gotta run!
