Hello,

After these changes I see my subcategories images. But..

catalog/controller/product/category.php

Under this:

Code: Select all

'href' => $this->url->link('product/category', 'path=' . $this->request->get['path'] . '_' . $result['category_id'] . $url)

Added this:

Code: Select all

,'thumb' => $this->model_tool_image->resize($result['image'], $this->config->get($this->config->get('config_theme') . '_image_category_width'), $this->config->get($this->config->get('config_theme') . '_image_category_height'))

And small addition to category.tpl file

Code: Select all

<?php if ($category['thumb']) { ?><img src="<?php echo $category['thumb']; ?>" alt="<?php echo $category['name']; ?>" /><?php  }

Now I want to use an information page and I wish to see all first level categories here. The built-in module Category is good for that. But I don't see any images in there. I made the same changes in .tpl file (extensions/module/category.tpl). At least it says that THUMB is undefined.

What changes do I need to make in controller/extensions/module/category.php or somewhere else to see those images as well?

Hi,
In catalog\controller\extension\module\category.php find:

Code: Select all

$data['categories'][] = array(

Change to:

Code: Select all

if ($category['image']) {
	$image = $this->model_tool_image->resize($category['image'], 40, 40);
} else {
	$image = $this->model_tool_image->resize('placeholder.png', 40,40);
}
$data['categories'][] = array(
	'image' => $image,

Then in catalog\view\theme\YOUR_THEME\template\extension\module\category.tpl find:

Code: Select all

<?php echo $category['name']; ?>

There are two matches.
Add before them:

Code: Select all

<img src="<?php echo $category['image']; ?>" alt="<?php echo $category['name']; ?>" title="<?php echo $category['name']; ?>" class="img-thumbnail" />

Thank you DigiCart. I got this error:
Fatal error: Call to a member function resize() on null in

So I had to insert this line as well and now it's all good. Thanks again

$this->load->model('tool/image');
