@tik Category module with thumbnails

The purpose of this extension is exceedingly simple.

After you install this extension, it changes the behavior of the Category module. If you place the Category module in left or right column, it appears unchanged; however, if you place the Category module in content_bottom or content_top position, then it shows thumbnail images for the categories. Additionally, in the content_bottom and content_top positions, the module does not show subcategories.

Shop owners will find this module particularly helpful if they want to show all main categories on the shop home.

Please read documentation.

Because this is a vQmod, no core files are touched, and the changes should carry over to the next version.

This seems to modify the width of the modules or at least the width that can be used for pictures from 5 standard pictures down to 4 standard pictures. Please see attatchment .png file.

It seems to modify the features module or at least how much of the features module can use in terms of width of the page also.

Is there any way to stop it effecting the width available for use? Please see screen capture below

As you've noted on the extension page comments section, this was caused by the category menu on left.
