Hi... I think i want the same

I have a top-list with the last links of my directory and I want to display a imagen (icon) that represent the category of each links.

I read the "custom file attachment fields" manual but I don´t meet the way to do it.sad

You're not being very specific about what regarding your custom category file field isn't working.

My problem is that i don´t know where charge the icons of each category and how call it. I read the manual and I try to crate a customfield (categoryattachimg) but I can´t progress.

instead of "{LINKNAV[trim]}" i want show a image

Sorry but i´m newbie in this script and my inglish isn´t enought good.

If your templates were chmoded, the code to upload should already be in your templates. So go to edit a category, upload the file. Then use this where you want it shown:

<img src="download.php?catid={CATID}&field=categoryattachimg">


Or possibly {LINKCATID} if only link template vars are available in the template at hand, though typically category template vars work where link ones do.

Note that if some categories have an image and others not, you'll probably want to use a template conditional like
<IF {CATATTACHIMGFILENAME}>
<img src="download.php?catid={CATID}&field=categoryattachimg">
<OTHERWISE>
{LINKNAV[trim]}
</IF>
