Adding a field to Categories

Hi all,

The website im working on has a custom banner for each category. This banner is simply an image.

Is it possible to add a field to categories? The changes I think I would need to make are:

Administration/Modules/CategoryAdd.ascx
Administration/Modules/CategoryInfo.ascx (add an input field)
NopSolutions.NopCommerce.BusinessLogic.Categories.Category.cs (add a property)

Database
Nop_Category

Is this the right way to go around it? Are there any other changes I need to consider?

Thanks in advance
Al

its the right way to add a field to category, however u can do it without changing nop code.
Name the banners with one name and add the categoryId to each of the banners name.
Then u will have a matching banner to a category according to the category id

Hi Hezyz,

Thanks for your response.

Yes I could, but what I failed to mention is that I need the website administrators to be able to select the banner themselves - which might be a bit confusing for them if I have to teach them how to extract the category ID and upload the files using FTP!

Can you think of any other areas of the code base I need to consider?

Thanks
Al

What version of nopC are you using?  In 2.x, Categories can have an image.  Where are you trying to display a Category image?

Hezyz - thabnks for your answer. It worked and I now have two image fields for each category. Awesome.

New York - thanks for answering, I may not have explained it very well but I wanted two image fields for each category.

All done now...

Thanks again guys
