rabbitseffort Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 can I use an image for a categorie name instead of words? I assume it can be done but want to know what file this would be modified in, I should know but dont, maybe I would be able to do it in admin under add products? please advise if you can, thanx in advance "I must admit that I personally measure success in terms of the contributions an individual makes to her or his fellow human beings." ---Margaret Mead--- "The answer is never the answer.

Nacer Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 The easiest way to do it is to use the GD library in catalog/includes/boxes/categories.php. This way if you add or delete a category or a sub category, every thing get updated automatically. Of course you can just hook in there plain images. Regards, Nacer.

rabbitseffort Posted December 31, 2005 Author Share Posted December 31, 2005 I am unsure of what GD library means???? All I really am needing to do is have an image(button) I made to go into the categories box and it will link to a new page I built. Just a link...not a real category really.

hack4lk Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 bump...come on someone knows this simple thing, I just want to add an image to column left that will be a link under categories will be good enough! I am just not writing the code right because it breaks the page every way I tried... Please..happy new year all! Try this... Open column_left.php and just under this code if ((USE_CACHE == 'true') && empty($SID)) { echo tep_cache_categories_box(); } else { include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'categories.php'); } type... echo '<a href="http://my_page.php"><img src="my_source.gif" width="122" height="24" border="0"></a>'; Just make sure that the image is in the images folder and your image source path is correct...depending where the page is on your site, you will probably have to use the img src="images/my_source.gif" path. Also make sure that the width of the image is not more than the width of the column which in a standard installation is something like 155px. Good luck.
