Pull Request resolves # .

  • I read the Generative AI policy and my contribution is either not created with the help of AI or is compatible with the policy and GNU/GPL 2 or later.

Summary of Changes

When displaying a menu item of type content cateogry list you have the option to display theb main category description and image but only the subcategory description.

This adds the option to display the subcategory image as well. The default is Hide so it will not impact any existing sites

Testing Instructions

Create a parent category with a description and image
Create one or more child categories with description and image
Create a menu item of type content category list and set it to display the subcategories and the subcategory description etc as per the screenshot

image

The highlighted option is added by this PR

Actual result BEFORE applying this Pull Request

subcategory images can not be displayed

Expected result AFTER applying this Pull Request

subcategory images are displayed

Note

1. Use global will only work (on an updated site) once I have worked out how to do the update sql to add the param (@richard67 any examples to follow)
2. This is only for content category list but if accepted I would make additional PR to add this functionality to everywhere that we have subcategories displayed

That happens when someone not only makes change suggestions but requests changes via the review pull down.

It needs an approval by that person to get rid of that.

I have dismissed @alikon 's review now because I could see that his suggestions have been implemented.

For me personally, this is quite a complex feature, one that I probably wouldn’t even enable on most sites. It’s great that power users now have this option, but I agree with @TLWebdesign it can certainly be overwhelming and quickly become confusing for less experienced users. I wouldn’t enable it by default.
