Customizing Sub-Categories to show image instead of text

[Niko]

Hello...
I've searched the forum and found many answers to my questions, but unless I've somehow missed it in here or the template editing docs, I can't seem to change the subcategory image. I'd like to be able to show an 'Image Name' as opposed to just text in the subcategory main content section. I've attached an image to help clarify.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Niko,

You can do that by changing the subcategory_detail_single.tpl.php template file. Change this:

<a href="<?=$Open_Category_HREF?>"><?=$Name?></a>

To this:

<a href="<?=$Open_Category_HREF?>"><?=$Image_of_Name?></a>

Follow up:

For those wanting to show an image for subcategories using the Image field instead of the Image of Name field, open the subcategory_detail_single.tpl.php template file in an editor and change this:

<a href="<?=$Open_Category_HREF?>"><?=$Name?></a>

to this:

<a href="<?=$Open_Category_HREF?>"><?=$Image?></a>

Jamie,
IS there an update on this for the new setup? I have looked through the forums and did not see anything...

Existing code in category.tpl.php

<!-- Section below handles showing subcategories if enabled -->
<?php if ($Subcategory_Rows): ?>
<div class="subcategories">
<?php foreach($Subcategory_Rows as $Subcategory_Row): ?>
<div class="box_row <?php print $Subcategory_Row['instance']?>">
<?php foreach($Subcategory_Row['categories'] as $Subcategory): ?>
<div class="box_outer <?php print $Subcategory['instance'].' '.$Subcategory['box_width_class'] ?>">
<div class="box_inner">
<?php print $Subcategory['HTML'] ?>
</div>
</div>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</div>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</div>
<?php endif;?>

Hi Jamie,

This TPL file has changed now. What would the the way to have sub categories show the "name of image" in the current version?

Many thanks,

Justin

Hi Justin,

Post #5 in the thread I linked to in my last reply above should work for the new version.
