Display (sub)categories mini-images only (when no category images)


Recommended Posts

Hello, 

 

 

 

 

I noticed that Prestashop (default-theme, modified) doesn't display "mini-images" of categories and subcategories when no "category-image" is defined. 

Is anyone familiar with this issue? 
here is my process, and why I don't get it: 

 

- I want my subcategories to be displayed with their "mini-image"

- Sometimes, I don't want to have an category-image (displayed on the category page, as a banner)

- I upload the "mini-image" in the admin

- If there is no category-image, it simply doesn't show up on the website, even though it's showed in the admin... 

 

If anyone has an Idea, I'm all ears! 

 

Thanks a lot

Directly in the Admin -> Categories. When you click to modify a category, you can upload a category-image and* a mini-image (thumb). 

I actually find it faster than a FTP upload, especially since you have to upload 3 versions of each image.. 

 

However, it's non-sense to me that you can upload a thumb, that will show up in the admin, associated to your category, but not on the website itself if you haven't uploaded a "category-image". And I don't get the "why", and most important, the "how to fix this?"

That is only used in the menu actually. To be honest, the menu itself uses a pretty silly way to grab it, as there is no built in method:

 

if ((int)$category['level_depth'] > 1 && !$is_children) {
                    $files = scandir(_PS_CAT_IMG_DIR_);

                    if (count(preg_grep('/^'.$category['id_category'].'-([0-9])?_thumb.jpg/i', $files)) > 0) {
                        $html .= '<li class="category-thumbnail">';

                        foreach ($files as $file) {
                            if (preg_match('/^'.$category['id_category'].'-([0-9])?_thumb.jpg/i', $file) === 1) {
                                $html .= '<div><img src="'.$this->context->link->getMediaLink(_THEME_CAT_DIR_.$file)
                                .'" alt="'.Tools::SafeOutput($category['name']).'" title="'
                                .Tools::SafeOutput($category['name']).'" class="imgm" /></div>';
                            }
                        }

                        $html .= '</li>';
                    }
                }
