We need to handle these 3 new fields:
cat_description
cat_longdesc
cat_icon
the icon is just an icon name. The user can include if in
his template like this:
<img src="somepath/<?php cat_icon() ?>" />
We have permission to steal all the icons on
http://www.thauvin.net/blog/index.jsp for the demo.
Let's save these in a 'caticons' directory next to 'smilies'
The evo_categories table has columns for icon, longdesc, and description, so maybe this is already planned.
Suggestions:
1. Add back-office stuff to upload a pic, and enter short and long descriptions for each category in b2categories.php, action=’Edit’.
2. Template functions:
single_cat_description(-)single_cat_longdesc()
single_cat_icon()
All should work the same way as single_cat_title(): only show when one category is selected.
3. Member functions:
Item::cat_icons( $mainclass='#', $otherclass='#')List all the category icons.<img class="$otherclass" src="somecatpic.jpg" /><img class="$mainclass" src="maincatpic.jpg" />Item::main_cat_icon( $imgclass='#')Show the icon for the main category only.Item::cat_icon_links(-)Make all the icons links to the categories.Item::main_cat_icon_link(-)Make the main cat icon a link to the category.
