Product and Category Image Questions

Hi all,

 

I've been fiddling around to try and get several issues sorted but I can't quite get my head around it.

  1. I have sort order issues with my products (I don't want them to be alphabetical) so I have assigned them a number in their title and set a class in my stylesheet to make that part of the title text invisible. The problem is that the code, for example "<h3>1.</h3>Name of product", appears as the alt tag for the image on the page where it displays all the items in a category. I have the Header Tags contribution installed and I am wondering if there is a way to use that as the alt tag? If so, where would I find the code to change? If not, is there another way to sort items within a category in a particular order (as you can with the categories themselves)?
     
  2. This one may be a little difficult to follow because I can't figure out the right terminology. I have a category which has other categories within it (nested, I guess). When you click the top level category from the categories info box you get a list of the nested categories with their images shown three across. I would like to have an image there but not the text underneath (I want to use an image of the text in a nice font as opposed to plain text). Is this possible? I'm assuming I just have to remove the relevant code but I couldn't find it. Is it in the catalog/index.php file?
     
  3. When I click that sub-category image I then get a new page with the list of products within that category. It automatically brings up the category image in the top right corner but since I have the header tags contribution installed it already has the text I want at top left. Is there a way to remove the category image from the products list page?

Please excuse my very convoluted questions but it's been a long day and I'm beginning to lose my focus.

 

I've managed to figure out quite a lot of things already but these three have me stumped. Any help would be very well appreciated.

 

Cheers

!. you would do better to add a 'sort_order' filed to your products table and use that :)

 

2. This is the code to remove in index.php (careful!):

 

 

'<br>' . $categories['categories_name'] .

 

That and no more, no less :)

 

 

3. This code can be removed to remove the category image:

 

// Get the right image for the top-right
$image = DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'table_background_list.gif';
if (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['manufacturers_id'])) {
  $image = tep_db_query("select manufacturers_image from " . TABLE_MANUFACTURERS . " where manufacturers_id = '" . (int)$HTTP_GET_VARS['manufacturers_id'] . "'");
  $image = tep_db_fetch_array($image);
  $image = $image['manufacturers_image'];
} elseif ($current_category_id) {
  $image = tep_db_query("select categories_image from " . TABLE_CATEGORIES . " where categories_id = '" . (int)$current_category_id . "'");
  $image = tep_db_fetch_array($image);
  $image = $image['categories_image'];
}
?>
		<td align="right"><?php echo tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $image, HEADING_TITLE, HEADING_IMAGE_WIDTH, HEADING_IMAGE_HEIGHT); ?></td>

Thanks Matti - Is there a reason then that I shouldn't remove the code in number 2 (since you say to be careful)? Will there be a knock on somewhere else or is there only one page that this code isused?
