[Tutorial] Showing different images per main category instead of no_photo.gif

[keerthi]

Hello, I m using friendly urls. how to findout the number corresponding to the category without reverting?

Hi,

In your Admin Dashboard:

Dashboard => Listings by category. The link for every category includes a parameter "catId", there is your id.

Yes. Found It. Also @teseo on a completely other note. my item url is now. www.sitename.com/category/subcategory/item-title. Is it safe to change it to www.sitename.com/item-title. It seems like it will affect my previously posted ads. there is a htaccess code for 301 redirection pointing the old url to new url (but i dont know it. if you know it pls mention it). Or if there is an other way pls mention.

PM your site URL and I'll take a look.

Im using this tutorial.


it's working, except on the third level, it want to pull the second level image (thinking it's the parent)


would it be easier for me to just upload the same image with all the id's for the name? I guess I could make the images more unique  but it will mean 100's of images.


what would you do?

I put this together it is showing the third level yea!! but it clears the second level back to 0 for the cat id


for instance the url -->  /images/0.jpg

Code: [Select]

     function osc_item_parent_category_id() {
        if ( !View::newInstance()->_exists('item_category') ) {
            View::newInstance()->_exportVariableToView('item_category', Category::newInstance()->findByPrimaryKey( osc_item_category_id() ) );
        }
$category = View::newInstance()->_get('item_category') ;
$parentCategory = osc_get_category('id', $category['fk_i_parent_id']);
        View::newInstance()->_exportVariableToView('id', $parentCategory);
        return (int) osc_field($parentCategory, "fk_i_parent_id", "") ;
    }

I´ve a problem.

what I need to do exactly.

how it works on 3.3.2

thank you

I´ve renamed a Picture to categoryid (31.png )

I´ve replaced the code in search_list.php ....       

In main.php I can´t find anything to replace

And now I make an offer in category 31 and the picture is the same as before


Whats wrong

Thanks for this tip.
I am using OSC3.2.2
Here is my solution.
Just replace in search_list.php and main.php. No need to add any thing to function.php

Code: [Select]

<img src="<?php echo osc_current_web_theme_url('images/') . osc_item_category_id .'.png' ?>" alt="No image available" />
