how to have different images for same category?

[hamster88]

If i upload an image for a category it shows the image for the sub category (58x58) in the parent category. It also shows the same image for that sub category heading.

How do i get it to show 2 different images.

Hi!

This is not possible by default.

However, You can achieve it if you do some custom modifications at the core.

This highly depends on your prestashop version, can you tell us which one you are using?

I am not aware of any module, but other people might know

Are you a coder? I can give you some hints if you are, but it's a rather broad modification to be convered in a forum topic!

 

To change the size of subcategories' thumbs, you can go 2 ways:

1- go to images -> preferences and change the medium size. Of course, this will affect all other images of that size

2- more complex! You can create a new image type, say, subcategories. Then locate category.tpl in your theme's folder, and edit the subcategories images, from, say

 

<img src="{$link->getCatImageLink($subcategory.link_rewrite, $subcategory.id_image, 'medium_default')|escape:'html'}" alt="" width="{$mediumSize.width}" height="{$mediumSize.height}" />

 

to

 

<img src="{$link->getCatImageLink($subcategory.link_rewrite, $subcategory.id_image, 'subcategories')|escape:'html'}" />

Hi Im not much of a coder.

but i tried doing that and it kept the subcategory box as 58x58 but it made the pic the size of the "new subcategory" size, and therefore resized into the 58x58 box. if you know what i mean basically the box didnt change size

Can you perhaps share the site url?

Im trying to change the size of the small box. here

 

http://www.sophielam.co.uk/index.php?id_category=6&controller=category

 

and ideally i would like a different pic for the big picture here

cos having one pic for both just doesnt work

You must remove the embedded widthxheight in category.tpl

Also, you have to regenerate thumbnails after modifying the size in the back office

i tried that still doesnt work for some reason

it changed the size, but the word "bags" gets in the way.

 

how do i remove that

 

edit
