Hello all,
How I can add image(thumbnail) categories in my homepage?
I can add categories names on homepage but I need add category images too, over the each name of category
after adding categories in homepage(same as featured products) it shown me only no_image.gif file…
I did search too much but didn't find any useful topic about this method
Hello sIiiS,
Thank you for your message.
I suggest that you should follow the instructions in the Arranging Categories on the Storefront Home Page article of our Knowledge base:
http://kb.cs-cart.co…the-Home%20page
If after following these instructions you still see the no_image.gif image displayed instead of the original category image, there may be several reasons for it. First of all please check if a necessary category has an image uploaded for it. In your CS-Cart admin panel, go to Products > Categories and click on the Edit link of the necessary category. On the opened page, maker sure that an image is uploaded and displayed properly in the Images section.
Another reason is that permissions for the images directory of your CS-Cart installation and its sub-directories and files may be incorrect. 777 permissions should be set up for these directories and files. You can use instructions of the following Knowledge base article in order to learn how to set up permissions:
[url=“CS-Cart Documentation — CS-Cart 4.15.x documentation”]CS-Cart Documentation — CS-Cart 4.15.x documentation
After setting up the correct permissions you can try to re-upload images for categories as well.
Please check my recommendations.
Thank you.

Yes, do not work for me too and only show no_image.gif !
I test it in my local, I hope Customer Help desk solve this problem and publish their solution
Hi
did you get this to work as I'm having the same problem.
I'm only getting the Category Title come up with no mention of a no_image.gif.
Are you actually supposed to see the thumbnail? It would be great if you could.
thanks,
josie

I am also having this problem yet I fail to see why it should be a problem within the server as I have added my own code to display the sub category images which it wasn't able to do before and they are working fine.
You can see what I mean at cs1.dm2dev.co.uk.
This problem is not from server, this is script issue 
When you see all members have same problem this is not srever problem because their servers are different !!
Hello all,
Thank you for the replies and clarifications.
As far as I see, all of you use CS-Cart version 3.0.1 and you experience this problem there. I have checked this problem in my local CS-Cart installation as well and managed to reproduce it there. It is caused by a bug in the current CS-Cart version. In order to fix it you should replace the following line of code:
'blocks/categories/categories_multicolumns_list.tpl' => array (
with this one:
'blocks/categories/categories_multicolumn_list.tpl' => array (
in the templates.php file located in the schemas/block_manager directory of your CS-Cart installation. After that please clear the template cache. To do it open the following URL in your browser:
http://www.your_doma…dmin8765.php?cc
where www.your_domain.com is the address of your store and admin8765.php is a new name given to the admin.php file. Before clearing the template cache you should be logged in to the administration panel of your store.
Please check this solution.
Thank you.

Dear Sir,
As I said before, I did install cs-cart in my local …
Are you sure that your [color=#282828][font=arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif]solution work as well?![/font][/color]
Hello sIiiS,
Thank you for the reply.
I am sorry for this confusion, I missed your message where you told about that.
As regards the fix provided by me, I have tested it personally and it works well. Also you can see that this solution helped Jason as well. So, unfortunately, I cannot tell why this solution does not work for you. Maybe cache has not been cleared in your local CS-Cart store by following the http://www.your_doma…dmin8765.php?cc URL because of incorrect permissions of the var directory and its sub-directories in your CS-Cart installation. Please remove the var/cache and var/compiled directories of your CS-Cart installation manually (or rename them) and check the result once again.
Thank you.

I am a new nob on cs-cart.
I am having same problem here. I checked the templates.php and the line of code is fine. I have also cleared my cache, all permissions are ok, i.e.777.
My link as now is : http://thewallpaper.com.au/wallpapers/
I might also like to have only category name, not images. How can I do that?
However when go to particular category, my image is there. (i.e. http://thewallpaper.com.au/wallpapers/collection-1/)
Any help is highly appreciated.
