How to display subcategory images on category page was created by spavanes

-- HikaShop version -- : 2.5.0
-- Joomla version -- : 3.4.3
-- PHP version -- : 5.4.41

I tried to edit the category listing_div.php to add subcategory images instead of the subcategory name below the current category. But I can't figure out how to get there.

This is what I already have, but I can't get the image of the subcategory:

Code:

<?php
$image_options = array('default' => true,'forcesize' => $this->config->get('image_force_size', true),'scale' => $this->config->get('image_scale_mode', 'inside'));

$img = $this->image->getThumbnail(@$this->row->file_path, array('width' => $this->image->main_thumbnail_x, 'height' => $this->image->main_thumbnail_y), $image_options);
                            
if($img->success) 
{
    echo '<img class="hikashop_product_listing_image" title="'.$this->escape(@$this->row->file_name).'" alt="'.$this->escape(@$this->row->file_name).'" src="'.$img->url.'" width="60px" height="35px" />';
}
                            
/*
echo $child->category_name;

if($this->params->get('number_of_products',0))
{
    echo ' ('.$child->number_of_products.')';
}
*/
?>

Can someone please help me with this?

Thank you very much!

Hi,

You can just use a more appropriated layout for the category listing ; like the "img title" one which display the category images directly.

Thank you Jerome for the quick response on this.

But configure the category listing, I get the subcategories below all main categories. I like to get the subcategory images below each main categorie, illustrated in the attachment. I think it must be possible because hikashop is such a flexible system, but I can not figure out how.

Hi,

It's indeed the listing_div file of the category view that you want to edit.
There you will have first to load the images of the sub categories from your MySQL database with a MySQL query on the hikashop_file table. Then, you'll be able to use PHP code similar to what you have on your first post to display the images instead of their name.
