Category Images for regular product grid

Post by William_firefold » Tue Aug 05, 2008 2:05 pm

Greetings,
I am trying to integrate one piece of code into another and I have run into a bunch of snags and need some help.
Right now, when a category is chosen, the product page comes up and lists subcategories and then the products.
We want to include another copy of the subcategories but in the CategoryGridPage4.aspx format which includes subcategory images, on the same page as the subcat list and products.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.


This is what we have right now:

And this is what we need done(the subcategory images are being added later):

Anything think this is possible?

Seem's like it would be easy, but we've had no luck combing the code.

Still searching for this. Something our store required.

Any developers out there? Willing to pay.

Here's what might work- take that category listing at the top of the page, make a new one like it and change the display code to be three columns and to show images and to not show name and (x).
This code from CategoryGrid2.ascx:

Code: Select all

 <asp:PlaceHolder ID="SubCategoryPanel" runat="server" EnableViewState="false">
                <div class="section">
                    <div class="content">
                        <asp:Repeater ID="SubCategoryRepeater" runat="server" EnableViewState="false">
                            <SeparatorTemplate>, </SeparatorTemplate>
                            <ItemTemplate><asp:HyperLink ID="SubCategoryLink" runat="server" Text='<%#String.Format("{0} ({1})", Eval("Name"), Eval("ProductCount"))%>' NavigateUrl='<%#Eval("NavigateUrl")%>'></asp:HyperLink></ItemTemplate>
                        </asp:Repeater><br /><br />
                    </div>
                </div>
            </asp:PlaceHolder>

With repeater i think you have to out put the Table html to control a column layout

We still have not been able to work out a solution on this. As the picture suggests, that is what we are looking for. Is it possible to construct that page as the picture suggests for us?
