Brand new plugin : Category Icons Lite

Posted on January, 22 2011 by Sub

I wanted it to be simple to use : no more template tags !

It’ll work with a lot of themes. Just try. If you have an issue, make sure your template has the post title preceded by the permalink and its title :

<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" ... title="<?php the_title(); ?>">
<?php the_title(); ?>

Or :

<a title="<?php the_title(); ?>" ... href="<?php the_permalink() ?>">
<?php the_title(); ?>

For example, it’ll not work with the nice prototype theme, because it does not use the_permalink & the_title filters (from what I’ve seen).

How to use it :

1. Upload an image as usual via the Media Menu
2. Select the category you want to assign to the image
3. Save the changes

Category Icons Lite

That’s it !
