WordPress – Getting the image from a category

3 Views

Im using the taxonomy images plugin which allows me to assign images to categories … im not quite sure how to show it on the front end though.

My code that displays categories is as follows:

$cat = get_query_var('cat');
$args = array(
    'orderby' => 'id',
    'child_of' => $cat,
    'hide_empty' => 0
);
$categories = get_categories($args);
foreach($categories as $category) {
    echo '<a href="' . get_category_link( $category->term_id ) . '" class="cat-c-top-bg">' . "n";
    echo '  <h4>' . $category->name . '</h4>' . "n";
    echo '      <div class="icon-view">' . "n";
    echo '      </div>' . "n";
    echo '      <div>' . "n";
    echo '          <img src="" width="164" height="164"></img>' . "n";
    echo '      </div>' . "n";
    echo '  <div class="cat-bot-ext_bg">' . "n";
    echo '  </div>' . "n";
    echo '</a>' . "n";
}

Which works PERFECT … although, whe i enter the code supplied by the image plugin, it displays the image as many times as there are categories, this is the code im putting inside teh foreach statement above 

$terms = apply_filters( 'taxonomy-images-get-terms', '' );
if ( ! empty( $terms ) ) {
    print '<ul>';
    foreach( (array) $terms as $term ) {
        print '<li><a href="' . esc_url( get_term_link( $term, $term->taxonomy ) ) . '">' . wp_get_attachment_image( $term->image_id, 'detail' ) . '</li>';
    }
    print '</ul>';
}

Any help on this would be great.

Cheers,

  1. the statement 

    $terms = apply_filters( 'taxonomy-images-get-terms', '' )

    is a replacement for get_terms or get_categories. So you should do something like this

    $terms = apply_filters( 'taxonomy-images-get-terms', '')
foreach( (array) $terms as $term ) {
  print wp_get_attachment_image( $term->image_id, 'thumbnail' );
  echo '  <h4>' . $term->name . '</h4>' . "n";
  //everything you wanna print
}
