[Plugin: Taxonomy Images] get child category image

I thought maybe you can help me here. I am trying to get the child categories also but I am not having any luck. I tried your code above without any luck. Here is the query I am using, this is returning the posts exactly how I need them

$allcats = get_categories('child_of='.get_query_var('cat'));
    foreach ($allcats as $cat) :
    $args = array(
    'posts_per_page' => 3, // max number of post per category

    'category__in' => array($cat->term_id)
    );

    $customInCatQuery = new WP_Query($args); 

    if ($customInCatQuery->have_posts()) :
    echo '<div class="menupageContent">';
    //THIS IS WHERE I NEED THE IMAGES TO SHOW
    print apply_filters( 'taxonomy-images-queried-term-image', 'menu' );
    echo '<h3>'.$cat->name.'</h3>';
    echo '<ul>';
    while ($customInCatQuery->have_posts()) : $customInCatQuery->the_post(); ?>

    <li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>

<?php
endwhile;
echo '</ul></div><!--end menupageContent-->';

My problem now is that nothing I do will return the images. I have three images posted to three categories and each one has been assigned to the same parent category. I can’t get the images or if I do, I get all of them 9 times when I should only get 3. Can you help?

OK, Sorted – used:

‘parent’ => $current_term->term_id,

instead of:

‘child_of’ => $current_term->term_id,

elbego, looks like I’m two weeks behind you in attempting same thing, your code looks really close to what I’m doing, I’d appreciate some help:

Here’s what I’ve got working –

$term_slug = get_query_var( 'term' );
$taxonomyName = get_query_var( 'taxonomy' );
$current_term = get_term_by( 'slug', $term_slug, $taxonomyName );
// begin check if no children - to not show 'no category' message
$termchildren = get_term_children( $current_term->term_id, $taxonomyName);
if($termchildren && ( !is_wp_error( $termchildren ))) {
// end check
 // whole section with $args_list and wp_list_categories($args_list) here;
}
$args_list = array(
    'taxonomy' => 'destinations', // or use $taxonomyName for all taxonomies
    'show_count' => true,
    'hierarchical' => true,
    'child_of' => $current_term->term_id,
    'hide_empty' => '0',
    'title_li' => '',
    'echo' => '0',
);

echo wp_list_categories($args_list);

This code is fine and dandy and displays a couple of child terms as an unordered list of links when on a Parent taxonomy archive.

I’ve adjusted where it seemed sensible to reflect elbego’s code:

$term_slug = get_query_var( 'term' );
$taxonomyName = get_query_var( 'taxonomy' );
$current_term = get_term_by( 'slug', $term_slug, $taxonomyName );

	$args = array(
    'taxonomy' => 'destinations', // or use $taxonomyName for all taxonomies
    'show_count' => true,
    'hierarchical' => true,
    'parent' => $current_term->term_id,
    'hide_empty' => '0',
    'title_li' => '',
    'echo' => '0',
);
$cats = wp_list_categories ( $args );

	foreach ($cats as $cat)
		{
			echo '<li><a href="' . get_category_link($cat) . '" title="'. $cat->name .'">' ;
			$terms = apply_filters( 'taxonomy-images-get-terms', '' );
			if ( ! empty( $terms ) ) {
			foreach( (array) $terms as $term ) {
					if($term->term_id == $cat->term_id) {
					  echo wp_get_attachment_image( $term->image_id, '' );
					}
			}
			}
			echo $cat->name ;
			echo '</a></li>';
		}

I’ve made the ‘child_of’ switch to ‘parent’ in the Array, and switched the code from the ‘echo wp_list_categories($args_list);’ point.

Unfortunately, I get a ‘Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach()‘ message.

Seems to be as soon as it hits here: ‘foreach ($cats as $cat)’ there’s a problem.

Could anyone lend a very frustrated fella a hand in getting a few images to ‘show’, it really shouldn’t be so tough to do ; )

Do you have any idea how to paginate this setup? I have my code set up so that I have one main category called menu, under that, I have multiple child categories like breakfast, lunch, dinner, wine list each set up to have the MENU parent category. I have been able to get only 3 of the child categories to show but I have not been able to get the pagination working to show the wine list or any other menu item.

Here is my code

$paged = ( get_query_var( 'paged' ) ) ? get_query_var( 'paged' ) : 1;
$allcats = get_categories(array('child_of' => get_query_var('cat'), 'number' => 3,'order'=> 'asc', 'paged' => $paged)); 

 foreach ($allcats as $cat) :
$args = array(
 'category__in' => array($cat->term_id),
 'paged' => $paged,
 'posts_per_page' => 5
);

 query_posts($args); 

if (have_posts()) :
echo '<div class="menupageContent">';

        $terms = apply_filters( 'taxonomy-images-get-terms', '' );
        if ( ! empty( $terms ) ) {
        foreach( (array) $terms as $term ) {
                if($term->term_id == $cat->term_id) {
                  echo wp_get_attachment_image( $term->image_id, 'menu' );
                }
        }
        }

echo '<h3>'.$cat->name.'</h3>';
echo '<ul>';
while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

<li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>

 <?php
 endwhile;
 echo '</ul></div><!--end menupageContent-->'; 

 ?>

 <?php else :
 echo 'No post published in:'.$cat->name;
 endif;
 wp_reset_query();
 endforeach; 

 ?>
