    OK, so I’ve got a channel of products data and a list of categories within a category group. So far so good.

    Products can appear in any of the categories so I need a page to show :-

    1) A list of all the categories in the group using an image (easy enough if I use the category image field)

    2) Individual category pages showing the products in them with a different category image at the top

    So the issue I have is how do I reference a second image for each category and get it uploaded whilst there isn’t an extra ‘file’ fieldtype for customer category fields?

    At present the only answer I have is to use the existing category image file uploader (or file manager) to upload both files and then pick one to show and put in a text field for the image name of the other and hope that no typos are made writing the image name in…

    Are there any better solutions to this?
