   Thanks for doing this, Matt. I think lots of people will put it to good use.

   great stuff! but for some unexplainable reason i cant seem to get it to work ....
   i did it exactly as it says in the instructions. many times over!
   i even tried changing my image files into png files and to put them into the proposed folder, but it keeps feeding me back a broken image tag.
   would it be possible to use the category number instead of the name somehow?
   because i suspect there lays my problem: the nice names... hmmm

   You can use the category ID by changing:
   <img src='$image_directory/$category->category_nicename.$image_type
   to
   <img src='$image_directory/$category->category_id.$image_type

   i still get the same problem.
   this is what i did: i replaced the tag as you mentioned in the my-hacks.php file. i renamed my icons 1.png 2.png 12.png corresponding to the category_id. i then went ahead and inserted the <?php category_images(' '); ?> inside the loop in my index.php.
   when i load the page i receive a broken image.
   any further pointers? what could i be doing wrong here? is this working for someone else?

   Why don't you copy and paste the HTML it's giving you or point us to your page.

   This is awesome! Is there a similar script to show User Images depending on the poster?

   Can anyone point me to a demo site that's using this hack? I'd like to see what it look like prior to installing.
   Thanks,
   Tony

   @ allusion: i guess that was kind of simple. i took out the leading / in the path to directory tag in my-hacks.php
   like so: $image_directory = 'wp-images/'
   and now it seems to be able to retrieve the icons!
   woo! and thanx so much, dude!
   @ tonyBiermann: the url to my website is:

   Hi, i am trying to implement this and I know this will make everyon roll their eyes, but:
   i am getting a parse error in the second line [$categories = get_the_category();]
   function category_images($seperator = '', $image_type = 'png',$image_directory = '/wp-images/') {
       $categories = get_the_category();
           $image_directory = preg_replace('|/+$|', '', $image_directory);
      
   I copied and pasted it from the wiki- hack file is enabled.
   Can someone tell me if this is related to DB error?
   Is it something else? I've had similiar results with a lot of the hacks.
   By the way, im runnung 1.1 beta
   thanks
   :)

    Scratch that- I was copying and pasting from safari- tried it in firefox and it worked. something to do with whitespace maybe.
    :)
