Is there a good way of just displaying one category image for a post with multiple categories assigned to it? I’ve been poking at it for much of the evening, which almost guarantees I’ve missed something really obvious, but…

Anyone?

Hi

Should be pretty easy and straightforward, haven’t tested this but as {categories} does not seem to have a {count} variable, you could use PHP

<?php $count = 0; ?>
{categories}

<?php if ($count++ < 1) { ?>

{category_image}

<?php } ?>

{category_name}

{/categories}

or something similar. Haven’t tested this, just wrote it down here.

And if that does still not work, there’s always raw SQL queries as solution to almost any db related problem.

Erk. I fear queries. But thanks, I’ll give that one a try.

There seems to be a working one in that paralled thread.

On a final note, have you tried this?

{categories limit="1"}
{category_image}
{/categories}

Gah! What did I say about missing something incredibly obvious? That’s sorted it - thanks! 😉

Don’t feel too bad, please: I get paid to know such things and initially missed it as well… 😊
