Badges on Category Images

-- url of the page with the problem -- : www.autovakshop.nl

I know it's possible to place badges on products (in product view), but I also like to place badges on category images.
Is that possible?

Hi,

There is no option for that by default in HikaShop.
You could create a custom field of the table "category" and of the type "ajax image" so that you could add badge images to categories.
Then, with a bit of PHP code in a view override and a bit of CSS to place the image from the custom field on top of the category image on the listing, it should be doable. So with basic PHP/CSS skills, it should be possible.
Now, to have something more generic, like for example the possible to display several badges on a category, the possibility to have restrictions, like only display the badge if all the products in the category are out of stock, etc, that would be way more complex.

Thanks Nicolas,

can't I reuse somethng like this on categories?

if(!empty($this->element->badges))
$html .= $this->classbadge->placeBadges($this->image, $this->element->badges, '0', '0',false);

Unfortunately, it's not that easy because the $this->element->badges variable is not available for a category because categories don't have badges in HikaShop normally.

Hi guys,

+1 to have the "Badges feature" working also for Category
