I want the Cat Image to have the summary text wrap around it.

So I did this

{exp:weblog:categories}
{category_image}
{/exp:weblog:categories}{summary}

But that doesn’t seem to work, am I missing something?

Yes - you are missing that the summary custom field has to be between weblog:entries tags.

{exp:weblog:categories}
{category_image}
{/exp:weblog:categories}
{exp:weblog:entries limit="1"}{summary}{/exp:weblog:entries}

Or nest that between the category tags.

{exp:weblog:categories}
{category_image}
{exp:weblog:entries limit="1"}{summary}{/exp:weblog:entries}  
{/exp:weblog:categories}

Or place the category tags instead in the weblog:entries tags.

{exp:weblog:entries limit="1"}
{categories}
{category_image}
{/categories}
{summary} 
{/exp:weblog:entries}

Hi Terry

It’s set up like this

{exp:weblog:entries limit="1"}
{categories}
{category_image}
{/categories}
{summary} 
{/exp:weblog:entries}

The catergory image still doesn’t display. I did select a catergory for that page and there is an image for it.

Then I’m flummoxed, because you did it right, as far as I can see.

Could it be the class you’ve used? A div problem?

Wild try- remove the quotes from {category_image}??

Terry

The class just tells the image to stay to the right, and I’ve tested it

Just when I change it too
{exp:weblog:entries limit="1"}
{categories}
{category_image}
{/categories}
{summary}
{/exp:weblog:entries}

the image doesn’t show.

No, it wouldn’t. You need the < img src=”{category_image}” tags.

Hmmmmm…. thinking….

Terry

When you do:

{exp:weblog:entries limit="1"}
{categories}
{category_image}
{/categories}

At LEAST the category_image text should appear. After all, it really is only a custom text field - nothing makes it any different than any other custom category field in that regard.

Terry

Is it possible I set the catergories up wrong?

let me try

try as the variable name {category_image_url}.

I can’t find the docs saying what the variable short name actually is!

[Edit - found it - it should be category_image as you are using it.]

Terry

It shows the URL for the Image but when I put it in the <> it doesn’t lol

I am stumped and it’s probably something simiple.

try stripping out the class and align info from between the tags.

<div class="newsimg" align="right">
{category_image}</div>

  ????

Terry

I got it to work, my problem was I had an open div tag lol

sorry for the trouble and thanks for the help!!!

You bet! Those div buggers!!!
