Include image of a category

[unnpro]

Hi,
how can I include an image in a category only if it exits on the server?

Something like:

ob_start();

if (file_exists("images/categories/cat_".$forumid.".jpg")) {
$includeimgcat = "<img src=\"images/categories/cat_".$forumid.".jpg\" width=\"85\" height=\"85\" alt=\"\" style=\"vertical-align: middle;\" />";
} else {
$includeimgcat = "";
}

ob_end_clean();

I tried to write a plugin and edit forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost template without any result :(

TIA

Does $forumid exist?

[unnpro]

Does $forumid exist?
I think so .. :erm:
i tried to put in the template (forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost)

<img src="images/categories/cat_$forumid.jpg" width="85" height="85" alt="" /> and it works correctly but obviously if the image doesn't exists I see many red X .. so I'm searching for a way to display it only when it exists.

Which hook are you putting it in?

[unnpro]

global_start .. also forumhome_start doesn't work

[Dismounted]

Get rid of ob_start(); and ob_end_clean();
And try forumhome_complete.

Nothing happens :(

What do you put in your template?

[unnpro]

only this: $includeimgcat

[Dismounted]

Try this in your plugin:
if (file_exists(DIR . 'images/categories/cat_' . $forumid . '.jpg'))
{
$includeimgcat = '<img src="images/categories/cat_' . $forumid . '.jpg" width="85" height="85" alt="" style="vertical-align: middle;" />';
}
else
{
$includeimgcat = '';
}

[unnpro]

Nothing!
I made a test:

Plugin:
$includeimgcat = "teststamp"

Hook: forumhome_complete or forumhome_start or global_start

.. "teststamp" still not visibile in any category.

Thank you very much for your support!

Can you post up your template?
