AbleCommerce Shopping Cart Software

Is there a way to have images instead of text links for the categories?

I attempted this making all the image the same as the text of the "Name" of the category...

<asp:HyperLink ID="CategoryLink" runat="server" ImageUrl="images/<%#Eval("Name")%>.jpg" NavigateUrl="<%#Eval("NavigateUrl")%>"></asp:HyperLink>

instead of this...

<asp:HyperLink ID="CategoryLink" runat="server" Text='<%#Eval("Name")%>' NavigateUrl='<%#Eval("NavigateUrl")%>'></asp:HyperLink>

and this will not work. I get an error. I don't know ASP.Net very well and would appriciate any help. Thanks!

It sounds like a path problem. You have to provide more information for image location like

Got the same error...

[[ConLib:SimpleCategoryList]] The server tag is not well formed.

Use this code

That code did put image place holders in, but the pathing was wrong and the links were wrong.

Example is...

Image url = http://www.site.com/ConLib/App_Themes/T ... %25%3E.jpg

Link url = http://www.site.com/ConLib/%22%3C%25#Ev ... Url%22)%25

Any ideas?

Thanks again.

Here is the modified version of SimpleCategoryList control, check this out.

One thing more you need to update the following line in the code file so that it picks the image from your current template. For this you will have to change Ablecommerce to your custom store theme name if you are using some other store theme. It would be something like Just replace your YourStoreThemeName with actual name of your store current theme.

Thanks so much! It worked perfectly. I really appriciate you helping me in figuring this out.
