Category icons?

    Hey, is it possible that a hack could be written to allow category icons, sort of like the ones you see on Geek Log, PHP-Nuke, etc. I’ve tried to make it work, but haven’t had any success. I don’t know how hard it would be to make a hack for this because of the multiple-categories per entry, but if it could be done, that would be great! Thanks!

    why do people need to create multiple post for same question?

    Do you actually need multiple categories? Because if you don’t, you might be best off installing an earlier version of WordPress – or b2, if you can’t get hold of one – where you can do it very simply with the methods you already tried on the other thread. I think Laughing Lizard had a zip of 0.72 for download from his site.

    Susubh: the original question was ‘how do I get category icons in WordPress’. It turned out to be impossible as things stand, so now he is requesting a hack to make it possible. Two different posts with two different requests.

    it’s simple without hacking so much..
    prepare some image files like:
    general.gif – internet.gif ..and so on for each category..
    put them wherever you want, and do something like that in your template
    <pre>
    <img src=”<?php the_category(”); ?&gt.gif” alt=”<?php the_category(”); ?&gt”&gt
    </pre>
    and you’ve done it…

    Yeah, but as has already been pointed out on the other thread, you can’t create a link to all posts in a category using that method. And you’d need ‘,’ in those parameters in any case.

    That was probably also several builds of WordPress ago 😉
    Anyway, Matt has now written a hack for this.
