How can I put small thumbnails of category images before the name of the category? I know it's one line of code, but... :)

Thanks in advance.

In catalog/controller/product/category.php

around line 134 find

Code: Select all

$product_total = $this->model_catalog_product->getTotalProducts($data);
and paste below it

Code: Select all

if($result['image'])
                {
                    $image = $this->model_tool_image->resize($result['image'], $this->config->get('config_image_product_width'), $this->config->get('config_image_product_height'));
                }
                else
                {
                    $image = '';
                }
Then below that you will see

Code: Select all

$this->data['categories'][] = array(
					'name'  => $result['name'] . ' (' . $product_total . ')',
					'href'  => $this->url->link('product/category', 'path=' . $this->request->get['path'] . '_' . $result['category_id'] . $url)
				);
Change to

Code: Select all

$this->data['categories'][] = array(
					'name'  => $result['name'] . ' (' . $product_total . ')',
					'image'  => $image,
					'href'  => $this->url->link('product/category', 'path=' . $this->request->get['path'] . '_' . $result['category_id'] . $url)
				);
Then in /catalog/view/theme/yourtheme/template/product/category.tpl

line 25 change

Code: Select all

<li><a href="<?php echo $category['href']; ?>"><?php echo $category['name']; ?></a></li>
to

Code: Select all

<li>
      <?php if ($category['image']){ ?>
      <a href="<?php echo $category['href']; ?>">
      <img src="<?php echo $category['image']; ?>" title="<?php echo $category['name']; ?>" alt="<?php echo $category['name']; ?>" />
      </a>
      <?php } ?>
      <a href="<?php echo $category['href']; ?>"><?php echo $category['name']; ?></a>
</li>

Then style away

Can we add the images in the same row?

You would do that with CSS. Unless I am not understanding your question.

Sweet! Worked fine for me in 1.5.1.3 (using Script webshop's minor change).

Thanks!

Hy! Great code and much help! Thank you!

But sadly I must report an error with this in 1.5.2.1 OpenCart!

I used it with vQmode and It works as a charm in categories that DO have subcategories. But when opening a category/subcategory that does not have any (more) subcategories I get an error:

Notice: Undefined variable: result in /home/anteros/public_html/naravno-zdravje/vqmod/vqcache/vq2-catalog_controller_product_category.php on line 164

I opened my vq2-catalog_controller_product_category.php and looked at line 164 and surprise surprise, I get this new inserted block of code:

Code: Select all

$product_total = $this->model_catalog_product->getTotalProducts($data); 

if($result['image'])
                {
                    $image = $this->model_tool_image->resize($result['image'], $this->config->get('config_image_category_width'), $this->config->get('config_image_category_height'));
                }
                else
                {
                    $image = '';
                }
where line 164 is: if($result['image'])

Does anybody have an idea what could be wrong? Why doesn't

Code: Select all

else
                {
                    $image = '';
define variable in case there is no subcategory?

Any help much appreciated!

That else is only if there is no image being detected from the database. That's all.

Oh, yes, thank you. Also, do you have any advice how to sort this problem? How to define variable in case there is no subcategory, so that I dont recieve error? Maybe some else if statement?
