Hi Renjii,

 

This is how you remove pictures completely from all subcategories. A picture will not show, even if you have assigned a picture to the subcategory:

 

• Go to your theme directory (If you are using default themes, then it is the default folder inside the themes directory)

 

• Open the file category.tpl

 

• Search for {if isset($subcategories)}

 

• Below the {if isset($subcategories)}, you must remove this:

<a href="{$link->getCategoryLink($subcategory.id_category, $subcategory.link_rewrite)|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}" title="{$subcategory.name|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}" class="img">
    {if $subcategory.id_image}
        <img src="{$link->getCatImageLink($subcategory.link_rewrite, $subcategory.id_image, 'medium_default')}" alt="" width="{$mediumSize.width}" height="{$mediumSize.height}" />
    {else}
        <img src="{$img_cat_dir}default-medium_default.jpg" alt="" width="{$mediumSize.width}" height="{$mediumSize.height}" />
    {/if}
</a>

• Save your category.tpl file and upload it to the appropriate directory on your server

 

 

That should do it!

you can also do it with css styles, with this code:

#categoryImage {display:none;}

Hi vekia which css file should i change ? 

 

[vekia]

you can do it in global.css file located in your theme/YOUR_THEME/css directory

 

im going to mark this thread as solved

This is not working in 1.5.6.1 ...

[vekia]

it works in all shops with the same code in theme.

after any change in the .tpl file make sure that you have feature to recompile theme turned on (force compile option under adv. preferneces > performance tab)
