Hello,

I was just wondering if it's possible to add the category logo to the main page, right beside the source of the articles logo.

I have "all categories" set to show headlines on the main page. It would be helpful if the category logo showed as well. Kind of like how the submit news module works.

Has anybody already done this?

If anybody know how to do this, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks in advance!

I don't think it will look better.
There will be too much images in the feed page[every feed will have this image too].

But it can be done. Everything is possible.

What if the category image replaced the source image?

I'd really like the category image to appear somewhere on the main page.

I'm not sure how complicated it is to configure that, however if it isn't too complicated I would be interested.

Where?

Just on the first page on the module or just when browsing the feeds categories?

Hi Aikon,

Just on the first page module. I like the fact that I can show multiple categories on the first page however I do think it's useful if the different categories were identified.

I appreciate your responses

Thanks

Sorry for late reply[somehow I forget about your post].

What your are asking can rise other issues:

Example: If the feeds from first page of the module come from all categories, what images[from what category] should be shown.

If you have one or two categories I guess it's not big deal but think about when we are talking about 6[or up] categories.

Don't you think the whole page will be overloaded with images?

Hey Aikon,

Thanks for the reply.

In the multiheadlines admin area where you can create and edit categories, it asks you what image is associated with this category. These are the images that I am suggesting appear on the main page beside the appropriate article.

I don't think this will be a problem. Doesn't the submit news module work in the same way? I am suggesting something like that.

When a visitor is submitting a news article, he is asked which category. He chooses a category whether theres 1, 2 or 6 choices. He then submits the news and then the category images shows up beside the news article.

It works great for submit news. I just thought it could also work well with multiheadlines. I don't know exactly what's involved to make this happen or if it's even possible. It's just a suggestion.

Thanks

I understand perfectly for the first time what you were saying.
You can't compare MH with "News" module, can't you see that every feed is in fact only a small portion from the whole article!
Anyway.
Open index.php look for the[inside function constrtable]
line and just above add:

and after, two or three lines below search for:

and replace with:

Now before every logo you should have a category image.[But you must have on every category a image].

Hey Aikon,

Thanks for the reply.

I understand, I was just comparing the category image part of it.

What you replied with is exactly what I was looking for .

I am having trouble with part of the code;



Whenever I enter it, no articles appear and my right hand blocks disappear. Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks again for all your help.
