Category image and Subcategory image sourced from 2 different images in category.tpl,is it possible?

[markc1]

Hi,

 

Can I modify category.tpl so that the subcategory images are sourced from the image of the 1st product, or a totally new image, not the category/subcategories main image?

 

I would like to this because the images I have for the subcategories/categories are wide and short, well suited as a banner for my categories, but not at all suited for displaying as the subcategory image, which is a thumbnail shape.

 

Currently the code seems to use the same image for the 2 different display types.

 

So I am trying to find a way so that the code shows a different image, depending whether it is to be used as a category banner, or as a subcategory thumbnail?

 

Any help massively appreciated, been struggling with this one all day and all night now....

I too am interested in this, as I'm trying to figure this out as well.
