Hi, as in many shops, the left column shows our main product categories. But standard, this is only just text.

We want the category picture to be always visible in the left column, like a fixed column wide picture.

Catergory1
[picture]
Category2
[picture]
Category3
etc

I searched whole VPASP but can't find a "how to".

Is this possible at all?

Tnx in advance for any feedback.

edit file shopproductsubs.asp

and please find this line :

name = catrs("catdescription")

and then after you locate that code, under that code, you place this new code :

dim catimagename
catimagename = catrs("catimage")

Also, please find this lines :

if hasSubcategory = "" then
mylink = "<a href=""shopdisplayproducts.asp?id=" & cid & "&cat=" & Server.URLEncode(replace(name,"&","&")) & addwebsesslink & """>" & name & "</a>"
else
mylink = "<a href=""shopDisplayCategories.asp?id=" & cid & "&cat=" & Server.URLEncode(replace(name,"&","&")) & addwebsesslink & """>" & name & "...</a>"
end if

please make a modification of the code i mentioned above and please replace with the code i mentioned below instead:

if hasSubcategory = "" then
mylink = "<a href=""shopdisplayproducts.asp?id=" & cid & "&cat=" & Server.URLEncode(replace(name,"&","&")) & addwebsesslink & """>" & name & "<BR><img src=""" & catimagename & """></a>"
else
mylink = "<a href=""shopDisplayCategories.asp?id=" & cid & "&cat=" & Server.URLEncode(replace(name,"&","&")) & addwebsesslink & """>" & name & "...<BR><img src=""" & catimagename & """></a>"
end if

I have this in my site and it works very well so far....

Chaoo...

Wow, many thanks, that was fast! Was expecting an answer in the line of "just check the pictures switch to ON", but this is rather more advanced stuff.

Couldn't have found this out myself, so out of respect for your black-belt VPASP knowledge I just did a honorary kata, right here in the office, and shouted out "Ush!" real loud.

Enjoy the weekend!
