If you replace in main.tpl <!-- BEGIN CATSBODY --> <!-- BEGIN REGULAR --> <td {CATWIDTH} valign="top" class="category"> <img src="{IMAGESURL}/folder.gif" alt="" /> <a href="{CATURL}" class="categoryname">{CATNAME}</a> ({CATNUMLINKS}) {CATHASNEW} {CATADMIN}<br /> with <!-- BEGIN CATSBODY --> <!-- BEGIN REGULAR --> <td {CATWIDTH} valign="top" class="category"> <?php if (file_exists("{IMAGESPATH}/folder-{CATID}.gif")) { ?> <img src="{IMAGESURL}/folder-{CATID}.gif" alt="{SITETITLE} - {CATNAME}" align="top" style="float:left; padding:0px 5px 0px 0px;"> <?php } else if (file_exists("{IMAGESPATH}/folder-{CATNAME}.gif")) { ?> <img src="{IMAGESURL}/folder-{CATNAME}.gif" alt="{SITETITLE} - {CATNAME}" align="top" style="float:left; padding:0px 5px 0px 0px;"> <?php } else { ?> <img src="{IMAGESURL}/folder.gif" alt="{SITETITLE} - {CATNAME}" align="top"> <?php } ?> <a href="{CATURL}" class="categoryname" title="{SITETITLE} - {CATNAME}">{CATNAME}</a> ({CATNUMLINKS}) {CATHASNEW} {CATADMIN}<br /> for each category there will be used a folder grafic with the name 'folder-{CATID}.gif' or 'folder-{CATNAME}.gif'. Only if this new picture files are not present, the orginal file 'folder.gif' will be used. All extensions or questions to this little php coding are welcome. If you want to see it working, i can post some links (only german sites, but for picture looking it will be okay ). Regards, Frank

Fixed it for you. Using {CATNAME} will break on non-trivial names... possibly on spaces, almost certainly on apostrophes and punctuation. Worth noting it'd be case-sensitive on *nix. An alternate method would be a custom file field for categories.

I thought the using of {TEMPLATESDIR} is okay cause downlevel compatibility. But now I know it was randomly correct. But your fixed version doesn't work for me, cause {IMAGESURL} includes every time the full url and the php function file_exists does not honor 'remote' urls. So I strip down {IMAGESURL} to have a relative dir. ... <?php if (file_exists("templates/".basename('{IMAGESURL}')."/folder-{CATID}.gif")) { ?> <img src="{IMAGESURL}/folder-{CATID}.gif" alt="{SITETITLE} - {CATNAME}" align="top" style="float:left; padding:0px 5px 0px 0px;"> <?php } else if (file_exists("templates/".basename('{IMAGESURL}')."/folder-{CATNAME}.gif")) { ?> <img src="{IMAGESURL}/folder-{CATNAME}.gif" alt="{SITETITLE} - {CATNAME}" align="top" style="float:left; padding:0px 5px 0px 0px;"> <?php } else { ?> <img src="{IMAGESURL}/folder.gif" alt="{SITETITLE} - {CATNAME}" align="top"> <?php } ?> <a href="{CATURL}" class="categoryname" title="{SITETITLE} - {CATNAME}">{CATNAME}</a> ({CATNUMLINKS}) {CATHASNEW} {CATADMIN}<br /> ... Regards, Frank

That's what i'm searching for... but it is also not working, cause {IMAGEPATH} contains the full installation dir from my hoster. (like automatcly File Upload Path: is filled) and not the relativ images path. thanx for help, Frank

Here is the corrected coding: ... <?php if (file_exists("{IMAGESPATH}/folder/{CATID}.gif")) { ?> <img src="{IMAGESURL}/folder/{CATID}.gif" alt="{SITETITLE} - {CATNAME}" align="top" style="float:left; padding:0px 5px 0px 0px;" /> <?php } else if (file_exists("{IMAGESPATH}/folder/{CATNAME}.gif")) { ?> <img src="{IMAGESURL}/folder/{CATNAME}.gif" alt="{SITETITLE} - {CATNAME}" align="top" style="float:left; padding:0px 5px 0px 0px;" /> <?php } else { ?> <img src="{IMAGESURL}/folder/folder.gif" alt="{SITETITLE} - {CATNAME}" align="top" /> <?php } ?> <a href="{CATURL}" class="categoryname" title="{SITETITLE} - {CATNAME}">{CATNAME}</a> ...
