Category Images

[r0c]

Hey

Is it Possible with a mod to add a thumbnail under the category name ?
so if you open the index.php and there is a category called "Pics" and under the name of the category is this little thumbnail and then you can click on the name of the category and you will see the category ?
thanks a lot

That would require too much extensive codings. Sorry.

there are three different codes for this:
1) build-in random image for each category (edit category_bit.html and uncomment commented lines)
2) static icon for each category by SLL (I belive its in templates forum as a "sticky" topic)
3) MOD "Category image" by V@no

BAM, do you mean that you have to do all three to get the images to show?

No, I ment you have a choice of three different ways to do it

Hmm, ok, I uncommented the one line in category_bit.html and nothing different happened.

I belive u must enable RANDOM_CAT_IMAGE (or something simular) in constants.php

Yeah, that works, Thanks! Though I had to add a width to the line in the html file, otherwise it was showing the full-sized thumbnail. Also still shows the folder icon, and since I still have some empty categories I'll have to stick with the folder icon for now.

Thanks for the info, though.
