Adding category banners

madason2k · #1 10-20-2010, 01:05 AM

Hi,

I want to add a banner to the top of every category but aren't sure where it goes (i was hoping to just do it by CSS). Anyone got any pointers?

A banner under the "CPU's" header would be great as shown here: http://www.freshtechsolutions.co.uk/home.php?cat=70

Thanks for your time and any help is appriciated.

Your signature says 4.4.2, yet it's not out yet

Can't you just add banner image as category icons in category admin?

Or, for v4.4.1 (assuming light and lucid skin)

skin/common_files/customer/subcategories.tpl

Insert...

Code:

{if $cat eq "70"}<img src="{$ImagesDir}/banners/70.jpg" />{/if}

Or if you are prepared to make banners for every category...

Code:

<img src="{$ImagesDir}/banners/{$cat}.jpg" />

Its not showing for some reason.

I have this in the subcategories.tpl:

<h3{if $class} class="{$class}"{/if}>{$title}</h3>
{if $cat eq "443" OR "444"}<img src="{$ImagesDir}/amd.jpg" />{/if}

Use...

Code:

{if $cat eq "443" || $cat eq "444"}

Try this:

Code:

{if $current_category.categoryid eq "443" or "444"}<img src="{$ImagesDir}/amd.jpg" />{/if}

Generally.. use lower-case boolean in smarty tpl files: and, or, ne, eq, etc. and use symbolic boolean in php files and javascript entries within tpl files: &&, ||, ==, !, etc

But mix-and-match works.. generally.

Correct me if I am mistaken? Why go through all that trouble? Just go in admin - Categories - "Choose your category" and then click on Modify category and then in your Description area put a banner there

Here is an example on my site http://www.customoid.co.uk/miscellaneous/

If you were to do this, could you display a scaled down version of the same image on every product page per manufacturer?

If so where could you apply the code to display the banner above the product description?

Where would you upload the files?

What could would you use for that?
