Hey Tim! Nice!
How were you able to add the graphics?

nevermind - I found the section in templates/promo.basic.php

I was editing in store.basic.php, but it looks like that's not used.

iTS SIMPLE HTML in the admin add a catugory

cheers Tim

store.basic.php is used when there are no promo items, so it is still relevant - it's a confusing and rather useless template system.

I have 2 options for category images:

• either, add an extra field and include that in the template,
  
• or, provide for WYSIWYG which also resolves the image upload issue if you use SPAW.
  
• At this stage, WYSIWYG is my preference.

btw, Pitcher's SPAW release for 9.1.1 also works just fine in 9.2.1 - I just need to find the minor bugfix I made to a javascript.

The loosely called, and grossly inadequate, Storez "template" system is in the process of being converted to a real template system, initially in the store and product display areas. That will eliminate the confusing double template issue and restore full layout control to the theme.

I have Spaw setup on one of my sites, and it works good (just a pain to get working!)
A WYSIWYG editor for a category name seems a bit overkill tho...
It would be nice to have a category image upload option.

For v9.2.1 I'll at least make provision for the use of category images, with image upload later. After investigation, I just recalled that I already made provision in the db for category images, so it's just a matter of coding.

My main objectives are the templating, further db query reduction and tidying up more code.

I have eliminated the old system for the stores layout, so it's now a matter of templating what I have re-built.

Major components now templated. Images can now be used, though not yet uploaded, with each store.

v9.2.2 » nukebiz.com/Downloads/...ils/id=64/

Did anyone want transparent category images for departments If so please place a list and i will get creating and post a download file


many thanks Tim
