Hi,
    Here is oneway...

Open includes/constants.php .. and find

Code: [Select]

define('SHOW_RANDOM_CAT_IMAGE', 0);

change it to

Code: [Select]

define('SHOW_RANDOM_CAT_IMAGE', 1);

but it will affect the performance if you have lots of images..


Hope this helps...

and search in yourTemplates category_bit.html:

 

Code: [Select]

<img src="{template_url}/images/folder.gif" width="20" height="13" alt="" />
<!--{if random_cat_image_file}<a href="{cat_url}"><img src="{random_cat_image_file}" border="1"></a>{endif random_cat_image_file}  -->
    </td>
    <td>
 <a href="{cat_url}" class="maincat">{cat_name}</a>
and replace:

Code: [Select]

<!-- <img src="{template_url}/images/folder.gif" width="20" height="13" alt="" />  -->
 {if random_cat_image_file}<a href="{cat_url}"><img src="{random_cat_image_file}" border="1"></a>{endif random_cat_image_file}
    </td>
    <td>
  <!--<a href="{cat_url}" class="maincat">{cat_name}</a> -->
