How to show category images

Hi,

I add images to some sub-categories and I need to show them in category view (directory view).

I try this:
www.flexicontent.org/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=806#p3582
www.flexicontent.org/forum/index.php?f=2...rb_v=viewtopic#p4559

but $sub->image is empty.

Maybe for the new version of Flexicontent I need something different for using category images?

[I use Joomla 1.7 and Flexicontent version 2.0 RC2a (r1057)]

Thanks a lot

mmm, Joomla 1.6+, removed the category image column!

New location is in category attributes, so code must be updated to use new location ...

The good news is that we have updated directory view not only to use category image and description, the result now is very nice ...,
also added
- separate thumbnail creation parameters for categories and subcategories (different sizes, processing method, etc)
- also added ability to extract an image from description or try both category parameter and extracting from description
- also added description with stripped html and parameter for maximum length (separate parameters for categories and subcategories)

As soon as the category model and the directory (called flexicontent) model are update the J1.7 category image parameter will start working too.

Regards

moving, the category image to category parameters makes sense, anyway the update of code is not difficult, i have already change the directory view and the Universal module (there i added ability for listing many categories not just current one, with option for thumbnails, title, description!!!), will also update category view and then commit, RC3 will be available between 20-23 of January (i hope)

Regards
