This mod works great if you are using the database to store the category images. But what if you change to a file system? When I click on the properties of a subcategory image I get:

http://www.profilespa.com/onlinestore/icon.php?categoryid=277

but if I check an item image I get:

http://www.profilespa.com/onlinestore/images/catalog/t_13011.gif

Since my DB performance sucks I would really like to change this to use my file system. Can I do this?

The code i'm using for subcategories.tpl in version 4.017 is:

{* $Id: subcategories.tpl,v 1.29 2002/11/26 14:55:13 alfiya Exp $ *} 
{if $active_modules.Bestsellers ne "" and $config.Modules.bestsellers_menu ne "Y"} 


 
{include file="modules/Bestsellers/bestsellers.tpl"} 
{/if} 


 
{ include file="customer/main/navigation.tpl" } 
{if ($navigation_page eq "")||($navigation_page eq "1")}{$current_category.description|regex_replace:"/[\n]/":"
"}

{/if} 


{capture name=dialog} 
{assign var="tmp" value="0"} 

{section name=cat_num loop=$subcategories} 
{if $subcategories[cat_num].category}{assign var="tmp" value="1"}{/if} 
{/section} 

{section name=cat_num loop=$subcategories} 

{ if %cat_num.first% } 
<table border=0 cellspacing=5 width=100%> 
{/if} 

  {if $smarty.section.cat_num.index is div by 2} 
     </tr><tr valign="top"> 
  {/if} 

   <td valign="top" width="70" align="center">

   </a> 
   </td> 
   <td align=left><a class="alt" href="home.php?cat={ $subcategories[cat_num].categoryid }">
