Help! My Subcategory Images Are Gone!

[Ricky Blunda]

Hello good community member!

 

I could clearly use your help here! In a bid to remove CATEGORY IMAGES, I seem to have accidently removed the sub-category images entirely (i.e. they dont display anymore).

 

In my attempt to remove CATEGORY IMAGES, I edited the file Themes\Default bootstrap\category.tpl where I commented out this part:

 

------------------------------------------------------------------

        <div id="subcategories">
            <p class="subcategory-heading">{l s='Subcategories'}</p>
            <ul class="clearfix">
            {foreach from=$subcategories item=subcategory}
                <li>
                    <div class="subcategory-image">
                        <a href="{$link->getCategoryLink($subcategory.id_category, $subcategory.link_rewrite)|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}" title="{$subcategory.name|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}" class="img">
                        {if $subcategory.id_image}
                            <img class="replace-2x" src="{$link->getCatImageLink($subcategory.link_rewrite, $subcategory.id_image, 'medium_default')|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}" alt="{$subcategory.name|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}" width="{$mediumSize.width}" height="{$mediumSize.height}" />
                        {else}
                            <img class="replace-2x" src="{$img_cat_dir}{$lang_iso}-default-medium_default.jpg" alt="{$subcategory.name|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}" width="{$mediumSize.width}" height="{$mediumSize.height}" />
                        {/if}
                    </a>
                       </div>
                    <h5><a class="subcategory-name" href="{$link->getCategoryLink($subcategory.id_category, $subcategory.link_rewrite)|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}">{$subcategory.name|truncate:25:'...'|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}</a></h5>
                    {if $subcategory.description}
                        <div class="cat_desc">{$subcategory.description}</div>
                    {/if}
                </li>
            {/foreach}
            </ul>
        </div>
        {/if}

---------------------------------------------------------------

 

As that obviously cleared my subcategory (see attached file image!), I reinstalled the above part, but the damage was already done! My sub-category images/links are gone. I even tried to replace the category.tpl file with a backup version, but it doesnt undo the damage.

 

So I beg of you...help?!

 

 

NOTE: I saved a full backup of all files prior to making any of these changes. Are there any other files I should restore to remedy the situation?

SOLVED! I solved this issue by disabling and then re-enabling the cache in the backoffice GUI. Thanks though!
