Has anyone done subcategory images in 4.x yet? I'm trying to figure it out, but I just can't quite get it. If anyone has figured it out and would like to share the code, that would be great.
Thanks,
Brandon
Hi Brandon,
Follow steps:
- you need to enable images again for categories in 4 they removed, they know the reason, please follow [url=“http://forum.cs-cart.com/tracker/issue-4332-image-categories-in-v401-has-been-removed-why/”]http://forum.cs-cart.com/tracker/issue-4332-image-categories-in-v401-has-been-removed-why/[/url]
2.on file app/controllers/frontend/categories.php
#replace
Registry::get('view')->assign('subcategories', fn_get_subcategories($_REQUEST['category_id']));
#with
$data = array (
'category_id' => $_REQUEST['category_id'],
'visible' => true,
'get_images' => true
);
list($subcategories, ) = fn_get_categories($data);
Registry::get('view')->assign('subcategories', $subcategories );
3.on file design/themes/basic/templates/views/categories/view.tpl
#replace
{if $category}- {$category.category}
{/if}
#with```php
{if $category}
-
{include file="common/image.tpl" images=$category.main_pair image_width=100 image_height=100}
{$category.category}
{/if}
```
PS: you can hook to categories:view but you need to override all content, to fn_get_subcategories you cannot hook, sow this are modifications to core
I hope that helps,

Valentin,
Cool, that helped tons, thank you very much for posting that.
I did make some small changes to fit my needs though. The biggest was making is so the thumbnail sizes can be set in the admin. I just changed your code to:
{if $category}
{/if}
Thank you again for your help, it is really appreciated.
Brandon
You’re welcome,
Code has no copyright rules, you can change it as you wish )) and any suggestion is welcomed and your is very user friendly
I am at a loss, I have editted the orginal files that were commented out for Images on cat. and changed the coding you guys listed and still when i go to create a new Category theres nothing showing to add images nor showing anything in the thumbnail area to adjust the size, its like nothing was changed even though i have checked and triple checked all of the files. i have cleared cache on admin panel and even the browser. Any Idea?
thanks,
eric
Please PM me for help
You need to ftp in and clear the cache manually. I think it is var/cache. Just clear everything in there.
Thanks,
Brandon
please try to clear cache this way [ [color=#ff0000]admin.php[/color]?cc&ctpl ] browser cache has no impart in regards to comment and uncomment tpl files or php code
Vali and brandonvd
Just a quick thanks for this code above - it was very helpful sorting out my category images. Fran
You are welcome.
This code works perfect. Thank you. I have a question: Where do we add the image for the subcategory?
You need to do what is in http://forum.cs-cart.com/tracker/issue-4332-image-categories-in-v401-has-been-removed-why/page__gopid__15965#entry15965
Thanks,

Has anyone figured out how to properly align these category thumbnails? As it is, it's a mess
Hey guys, I am running 4.0.3 and I followed all of the steps listed above. I am not able to see a blank thumbnail on category's, but I am unable to save an image for each category. I choose upload, select the image and click save and nothing changes. Any help would be great, thanks!
