Hi i'm new with magento. II want to show category(subcategory) image beside my main navigation dropdown. I have tried with following script
I just copied the Observer.php and Navigation.php from app\code\core\Mage\Catalog\
to my local(app\code\local\Mage\Catalog)
and in observer.php i added the line in function(_addCategoriesToMenu)
$categoryData = array(
'image_url' => $category->getThumbnail(),
'name' => $category->getName(),
'id' => $nodeId,
'url' => Mage::helper('catalog/category')->getCategoryUrl($category),
'is_active' => $this->_isActiveMenuCategory($category), 'thumbnail' => Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($category->getId())->getThumbnail()
);
and in navigation.php (_renderCategoryMenuItemHtml)
$html[] = '<a href="' . $this->getCategoryUrl($category) . '"' .
$linkClass . '>'; $html[] = '<span>' .
$this->escapeHtml($category->getName()) . '</span>'; $html[] = '</a>';
iI can not found the image url by this function $category->getThumbnail();
How do i fetch the image url to show in navigation dropdown
