Add Icon to Category menu list
 

Hello:

I want to add an Icon to the "category name" in the "category menu list" and include the 'ALT TEXT',

I did already this addition, WITH the fly-out menu activated in:
skin/common_files/modules/Flyout_Menus/Icons/fancy_subcategories.tpl

Now I want to do the same but WITHOUT the fly-out menu activated (It's so heavy to load).
Please let me know, how I can do this mod.
Thank you

The category icon is there but you need to modify the categories template to show it. You can take a look at how the code is in the flyout menus templates as an example of how to call the image there

Hi Steve:
1. I did the modification to the Flyout menu code as (underline is my Alt-text):
fancy_subcategories.tpl
{if $config.Flyout_Menus.icons_icons_in_categories gte $level+1 and $c.is_icon}
<img src="{$c.thumb_url|amp}" alt="{$c.category|escape}" width="{$c.thumb_x}" height="{$c.thumb_y}" />
{/if}

2. Without flyout menu,(categories.tpl) the code is:
{foreach from=$categories_menu_list item=c name=categories}
<li{interline name=categories}><a href="home.php?cat={$c.categoryid}" title="{$c.category|escape}">{$c.category|amp} </a></li>
{/foreach}

How I add the alt-text in accordance with the category name to the the icons?

Thank you

Moses

<a> tag doesn't have alt attribute, it has title attribute. Alt doesn't make sense for <a> tag as you have a text for the link, the alt attribute is for like image to show if the image cannot be shown for any reason
You can just copy the <img....> line to the code without flyout just before the <a> tag
