Add images where forum title and description are
What i'd like to do is add an image where a forum's title/description are, and have a different one for each.
Each forum seems to have these (this an example from this site):
<h1 class="H HomepageTitle">Vanilla - Free, Open-Source Forum Software</h1> <div class="P PageDescription">Community support for Vanilla's developer community.</div>
And that's where i'd like to put a category-specific image, along with the text.
Any (simple) way of doing this?

This is how it looks now:
This is how i'd like to add an image (in this case a logo)
If there was a way I could add a class for each category which would add an individual image to each, that's what i'd like to do. But as it stands i'm a bit stuck!
double post apologies
write a plugin using this event.
look at hidecategory plugin modify it and call it your own name.
then post it as an add-on when you get it solved.

Yeah, I compressed the LESS files from bootstrap theme and the icons didn't seem to work afterwards, but ill get round to it.
That's great penegrine, thanks - i'll look into that. Cheers!
I'll post an add-on called CategoryImageHeader in a few for you to test.

You'll need to fix the FontAwesome paths in the compiled version of the code if you want the icons to display correctly. Awesome customizations by the way, it looks fantastic!

Thanks for the compliments 422 and kasperisager - it was based on Cerulean bootswatch but decided to opt for black as a neutral colour.
I've still to change a few things and get the colours right, once i do i'll post it on the showcase area.
@peregrine, testing the plugin as we speak, thank you!
@penegrine
Installed plugin but showing a blank page for the settings.
It should have shown settings before. I rewrote some things anyway and re uploaded the plugin w/ proof of the settings panel is not blank!
let me know if you have problems with the new one.

It's the same sadly on my website - though I do have it going on a test server on my computer.
I should have mentioned i'm using Vanilla 2.1 on my website, it seems absolutely fine on the latest stable release (2.0.18.4). Blank on 2.1 though (sorry for not mentioning that before).
Really appreciate your help @peregrine, not many forum package support sites have members willing to write a basic plugin for you
Are you sure its the release or the theme that makes it non-functional.
never mind I just tried it on 2.1. I'll try to see what the problem is with the dashboard.

I get the dashboard setting issues resolved on 2.1.
Unfortunately, in vanilla 2.1 they removed the event I was using
So I have to use CategoriesController_BeforeRenderAsset_Handler
but I am trying to figure out to only process if the asset is contents

ok cool
use version 1.2 of this plugin - see if it gives you some semblance of what you want.
there are only a few events for placement. so jquery may be the next option or adding a 1 line event to a file in your views folder.
but see if the image placement works with categories.
remove your old CategoryHeaderImage directory - so the files don't interact with each other.

thx for the feedback. glad it worked your site looked cool, and I liked your idea of the image that you proposed.
