Where do I find subcategory images (need to delete)

[milauskas]

I want to comment out the subcategory images and links that appear at the top of the page. Where are these located and how can I remove them? Is there a way to do this in Admin or should I just comment them out? Thanks.

I am also interested in this subject but I see no one replied. If some one can assist us it will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I expect the reason you do not have a reply is because like me no one knows just what images you wish to delete.

 

The easiest way to find an image is to open your page in a web browser, and right click the image. You will see where the image comes from. All you have to do is to search for that image in the particular page you wish to remove it from.

I don't think that's true. THe images I'm talking about are those associated with subcategories. They appear at the top of the page when you click on of the category links in the Categories, box. I don't know if these are contained in index.php or not. Just looking over the page code I can't locate them. That's why I'm asking.

Looks like it's true here:

http://demo.oscommerce.com/index.php?cPath=1

Right click on the categories image->Properties and

http://demo.oscommerce.com/images/category_hardware.gif

so you know the path

Well Here is what I meant by taking out subcatagory pictures.

 

http://2ndplaydvds.com/index.php?cPath=3&a...f4ba25767887758

 

I don't want a subcatagory image to display at all. Just the words action & adventure, horror, drama, etc,. As you can see I did not add an image to the subcatagory but the brackets(??? if thats what they are called) for the images, appear where the images were supposed to be displayed anyway.

 

Thats what I meant by deleting images. Sorry for not explaining more. Would greatly appreciate the help.

I`ll show how i did it but note that i`m not a coder and kinda new to php but i managed to get it working.

Just before you do any editing BACKUP your index php as is the one you`ll be modifing.

 

in the index.php find around line 104 find :

 

<td align="center" class="smallText" width="' . $width . '" valign="top"><a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, $cPath_new) . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $categories['categories_image'], $categories['categories_name'], SUBCATEGORY_IMAGE_WIDTH, SUBCATEGORY_IMAGE_HEIGHT) . '<br>' . $categories['categories_name'] . '</a></td>' . "\n";

if ((($rows / MAX_DISPLAY_CATEGORIES_PER_ROW) == floor($rows / MAX_DISPLAY_CATEGORIES_PER_ROW)) && ($rows != $number_of_categories)) {

echo ' </tr>' . "\n";

echo ' <tr>' . "\n";

}

}

 

// needed for the new products module shown below

 

And delete this :

 

<td align="center" class="smallText" width="' . $width . '" valign="top"><a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, $cPath_new) . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $categories['categories_image'], $categories['categories_name'], SUBCATEGORY_IMAGE_WIDTH, SUBCATEGORY_IMAGE_HEIGHT) . '<br>' . $categories['categories_name'] . '</a></td>

 

That will get rid of the images and the links .Now if you just wanna get rid of the images just erase this:

 

 

tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $categories['categories_image'], $categories['categories_name'], SUBCATEGORY_IMAGE_WIDTH, SUBCATEGORY_IMAGE_HEIGHT) . '<br>' .

 

if you your links are too close each other just erase this :

 

 

tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $categories['categories_image'], $categories['categories_name'], SUBCATEGORY_IMAGE_WIDTH, SUBCATEGORY_IMAGE_HEIGHT) .

 

 

Even tho i solved it this way it does not means that is the right way to do it ,I just didn`t find any other solution and hope this is the right way.

 

Good Luck

Much easyer way, just go to images in admin under config, in there you will have subcatagory image size, just set both vertical and horiz to 0 and your images will no longer display.
