Cannot get image into Categories View

Post by tiabradford »

Hello,

I have just about completed the customization of the Phoca Gallery for my client's site. I am having difficulty getting a single images to be representative of a Categories View.

This is the link to the test site:
http://www.black-cardinal.net/joomla1/i ... le-catalog
(BTW Comic Sans was not my choice of font :wink: )

In the Categories View, I have images representing the various categories. When those Categories images are clicked, the visitor is brought into the Category View.

The only way I was able to get the Categories View images of the Big Buttons to display in the link above was to actually put the single image of each button in the Category View category as the last image in the gallery. This creates a problem because when the visitor is in the Category they can see that Categories View image (The Big Single Buttons) within the gallery itself. See below:

http://www.black-cardinal.net/joomla1/i ... -new-items

The client does not want this image to be there within the gallery, it should only be in the Main Categories View.

So is there anyway to have a representative image of the category that is itself not part of the images that will be in the actual gallery?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, just set the image as "not authorized", it will be not displayed in the list of images, but the categories view will take it for the category icon.

Fantastic! Worked like a charm.

Proof positive that this is the best online gallery on the web.

Thank you Jan.
