Is there a plugin which enables individual images / icons for categories?

repairmysmartphone

Im looking to see if there is a plugin or a way to make each category have their own individual category icon.

For example,

(Apple Logo) Apple

(Blackberry Logo) Blackberry

(HTC Logo) HTC

Anyone know of any info?

Thanks

Todd

There isn't something like this now, but we'll be adding more css in future versions.

A quick hack/suggestion:

Make in your template a custom
/themes/mytheme/views/categories/discussions.php

Find the div with class : CategoryBox

Add a data-info attribute to it:

data-info="CategoryID<?php echo $Category->CategoryID; ?>"

Now that looks like:

UrlCode; ?>" data-info="CategoryID_<?php echo $Category->CategoryID; ?>">


This will add the number of the category like data-info="CategoryID_13"

-------------
Now add CSS

For example :
div[data-info~="CategoryID_1"] {margin-left: 2px; border-left: 2px solid red; }
will give a red strip on the left of the DIV

Change CSS to your needs.

Which reminds me : why is the CategoryparentID not available in $Category?
This would ease things because then you could style all children in one time...

@nepwk : make a quick bug report @ gitHub maybe they can still add it to 2.0.18 version

Hi, can someone please elaborate this one for me? Since I dont quite know how to do this and there are very little info on how to create custom template.
As in what shall I use for starting point for discussions.php ?

Thanks in advance.
