I've been stuck with this for few day's now and can't understand why the category image is not retrieved by magento.

I've added this page_header.phtml to the template/page/html folder with the following html:

    <?php
    $_helper    = Mage::helper('catalog/output');
    $_category  = Mage::registry('current_category');
    $_imgUrl = $_category->getImageUrl()
?>
<?php
    if (!$_imgUrl){
?>
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(function($){
    $(".top-container").addClass("no-image");
});
</script>
<?php
    }
?>
<div class="bgback" style="<?php if($_imgUrl): ?>background-image: url(<?php echo $_imgUrl; ?>);<?php endif; ?>">
    <div class="container page-header-area">
        <div class="left-area">
            <?php echo $this->getChildHtml("breadcrumbs"); ?>
        </div>
        <div class="category-top-title">
            <h1><?php echo $_helper->categoryAttribute($_category, $_category->getName(), 'name') ?></h1>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>
<div class="zn_header_bottom_style"></div>

Then went to the local.xml and added this:

    <catalog_category_view>
    <reference name="top.container">
        <block type="core/template" name="page.header" template="page/html/page_header.phtml">
            <block type="page/html_breadcrumbs" name="breadcrumbs" as="breadcrumbs"/>
        </block>
    </reference>
</catalog_category_view>

It show's up correctly on the category pages, but the issue is that the image is not being displayed and I can't figure out why.

The folder's on the server media and var has 777 permisions. The image is uploaded in the backend. Did I forget something?

Thanks guys,

  • or $_imgHtml = ''; if ($_imgUrl = $_category->getImageUrl()) { $_imgHtml = '<img src="'.$_imgUrl.'" alt="'.$this->htmlEscape($_category->getName()).'" title="'.$_category->getName().'" />'; $_imgHtml = $_helper->categoryAttribute($_category, $_imgHtml, 'image'); }

  • from this you can get Image url Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($category->getId())->getImageUrl();
