Adding custom category images

Gary answered most stuff, but here's one quick hack:

Actually there's a pretty easy way:

  1. Create an image for each category. Name each image XXX.GIF (where XXX = the number of the category).
  2. FTP each image file to your site (for example: ../my_images/).
  3. In tiki-browse_categories.tpl simply add:
    Copy to clipboard
    < img src="my_images/{$parentId}.gif" />


Note that this is a simply, five-second hack. There's no error checking — if the image does not exist, you'll get a broken box.
