Hi there,

I've got a use-case where I want to array the intro-texts of multiple articles in the same category around a single image, which would sit in the centre of two columns.

My thought would be that I would add the image into the category image (or category description) and in the override manually call the image for the selected category. There would only ever be one category selected for this specific type of module.

Any tips for going about this?

I would approach this with a file_exists() check.
Since the category's image is pretty much stored in the same location and has a certain pattern for its URL (id.file_extension), I would check if that file exists and print some HTML code.

Thanks Krikor, that actually gives me a better idea.

I wanted these to be transparent 24bit pngs anyway, so instead I'll get the category-alias, and do a file_exists() check to see if I've placed an image in a directory that's named the same as the category alias.

Best of both worlds.

Thanks for the direction.

Nice one Kelsey :)
Best of luck with your project!
