I'm trying to add a new custom image attribute for category, following the guide here "https://webkul.com/blog/add-custom-image-attribute-category-magento-2/comment-page-1/#comment-16835"

However, after I added these files under /app/code/[vendor]/[Module]/

Then run 

php bin/magento setup:di:compile  
php bin/magento setup:upgrade  
php bin/magento c:c c:f

but nothing shows up, and I cannot find the module on the list. Please help

You can create your own custom module wherein you can use the resources from the guide provided in a link included in your post.

Follow the steps below

registration.php
app/code/Vendor/CustomModule/registration.php 

<?php
\Magento\Framework\Component\ComponentRegistrar::register(
    \Magento\Framework\Component\ComponentRegistrar::MODULE,
    'Vendor_CustomModule',
    __DIR__
);

module.xml
app/code/Vendor/CustomModule/etc/module.xml 

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:Module/etc/module.xsd">
    <module name="Vendor_CustomModule" setup_version="1.0.0" />
</config>

    This works, thanks a lot. After created the registration.php file, I had to delete the Vendor/Module/di.xml from the guide which was causing error, and replace the module.xml you provided. After that, just run setup:upgrade, and everything works now! Thanks, i'm new to creating modules.

  • it's on the comment: Please follow below steps in order to get image url at frontend. create instance of class Magento\Catalog\Model\CategoryRepository then get category model by calling get method like $category = $categoryRepository->get($categoryId, $storeId); $imageUrl = “magento_media_url_path”.”catalog/category/”.$category->getCustomImage(); And then you can use this $imageUrl in your custom category page or as per your design.
