Advanced Category Box with 3 images

[Mindvision]

I'm trying to customise the Category box to look something like this...

 

 

Has anyone done this before?

 

Any help would be appreciated.

In includes/boxes/categories.php (around line 28), look for the following code:

    $categories_string .= tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, $cPath_new) . '">';

and change to something like

    $categories_string .= tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, $cPath_new) . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'cat_level' . $tree[$counter]['level'] . '.png'). ' ';

Assumes that you have only three levels of categories and that you have three images in the images/ directory with names like cat_level0.png. Revise appropriately for different names (png is an example, gif, jpg, etc. would work as well).

 

If this works for you, it would be nice if you could contribute some images to the contributions area to go with these instructions.

 

Hth,

Thank you for that, I'll give it a try and let you know how it works.

 

Sorry if I sound stupid though but...

 

How does PHP tell which image is for which category level?

[Mindvision]

Sorry, didn't read the messege properly, I understand now!!!

 

I'll try to get it working then add it as a contribution.

I've only just got round to trying this - it works!

 

Great bit of information, thanks.

 

I'll put together some images and add it as a contribution.

 

Thanks again Matt (iiinetworks) :D
