Thread: Display large category image in category XmlPackage

I want to be able to display the large category image in my category XmlPackage. Just the image - no links or other information. I really just need the name to place in an IMG tag.

Does anyone know how to accomplish this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It depends how you want your problem to be get solved.

If category images are placed in standard folders as used by package, just use the categoryid available in xml package to create the image path.

Or you can create a function in XSLTEXTENSIONBASE.cs class that further calls (AppLogic.LookupImage) to fetch the image path for that category.

Hope this helps,

I used this expecting to get the image:

Code:

...
<queryparam paramname="@CatID" paramtype="runtime"  requestparamname="CatID"  sqlDataType="int"     defvalue="0"  validationpattern="" />
...
...
...

<div align="left"><img border="0" src="/images/category/medium/{CatID}.jpg"></img></div>
-- and --
<div align="left"><img border="0" src="/images/category/medium/{categoryID}.jpg"></img></div>

but it returns an empty string. I used this code in another .config template for products and it worked as expected.
