[SOLVED] My catagory image at the top of the page won't show up - read forum

[cimmerin]

Hi,

 

I have read the forum and went to preferences and enabled catagories for home. It didn't work. Not sure what to do now. The top main display image does not show. They are there though in the BO. 

 

Here is the site > http://necopperworks.envisionwebdesignsonoma.com

 

Thanks,
Mike

it might be related to your theme

what you exactly changed in BO (preferences) ?

[cimmerin]

I turned on catagories under home_default and catagory_default

The theme should work correctly. It had images corresponding to the product originally.

When I installed I rec'd this error.....

 

Warning: Copy/Paste your errors if you want to manually set the image type (in the "Images" page under the "Preferences" menu):
Some kind of image could not be added because they exists. Here's the list:

·         Name image type: small_default (Width: 66px, Height: 66px)

·         Name image type: medium_default (Width: 80px, Height: 80px)

well

 

i suppose that problem is with your theme, maybe it isn't using category images?

can you show contents of category.tpl file?

[cimmerin]

Here is my catagory.tpl file. Thanks!

 

{include file="$tpl_dir./breadcrumb.tpl"}

{include file="$tpl_dir./errors.tpl"}

{if isset($category)}

{if $category->id AND $category->active}

{include file="$tpl_dir./category-count.tpl"}

</span>

{/strip}

</h1>

{if $scenes}

<!-- Scenes -->

{include file="$tpl_dir./scenes.tpl" scenes=$scenes}

{*

{else}

i inspected your code.

you've got there command to hide code (comments) {*  *} - code beetween will not work, take a look:

{*

{else}

<!-- Category image -->

{if $category->id_image}

<div class="align_center">

<img src="{$link->getCatImageLink($category->link_rewrite, $category->id_image, 'category_default')}" alt="{$category->name|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}" title="{$category->name|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}" id="categoryImage" width="{$categorySize.width}" height="{$categorySize.height}" />

</div>

{/if}

*}
