      If you can get access to the category structure from which you are generating this layout, it shouldn't be hard to get the category image itself. If images you are after are different than those possible to upload via admin(more likely), then you can use custom fields.

        Not sure if this readytheme uses them, but try uploading an image for one of the sub-categories under the Category TREE image field.

          Not sure about Iron and Wool, but on the base readytheme, you do get those images via uploading an image within Tree Image under Category Tree on the category. For mass import on the base readytheme, if not there, insert a CATEGORY_TREE_IMAGE column within a category file and upload....making sure you insert your images into the graphics/00000001/ folder. I would think it would be much the same at least.

            the category tree upload is not working. It doesn't show a image. How do I use the footer to write some html code that will do the trick

              Did you name the images for the subcategories the same as the subcategory code?

              Example: If the subcategory code is subcat-code, then the image would need to be subcat-code.jpg.

                Also, since I do not know what code you have to enable display of subcategory images, nor know what the iron and wool offers for the display, you'll have to have the item image coded:


                Code:
                <div class="item-image">
                                <mvt:if expr="l.settings:sub_category:image">
                                    <a href="&mvt:sub_category:link;"><img src="&mvt:sub_category:image;" alt="&mvte:sub_category:name;" title="&mvte:sub_category:name;" /></a>
                                <mvt:else>
                                    <a href="&mvt:sub_category:link;"><img src="graphics/00000001/NO_IMG.jpg" alt="&mvte:sub_category:name;" title="&mvte:sub_category:name;" /></a>
                                </mvt:if>                    
                </div>
                You'll have to make your own NO_IMG.jpg.

                Hope this helps,

                  Ok I got the images to show up on the subCatagory page, but I had to link them all back to my live store. I hope when we do the flip I don't lose them. Here is the copy of the code I used for the dev store. <!-- Code For New Model Category Page Below-->
                  <html>

                    I don't know why you'd have to link to your "live" site. If you upload one of those images within the subcategory, it should go to the graphics/00000001 folder of the dev site automatically. Try to upload one through the actual subcategory in the admin, and then FTP to your site to check that the image is there.

                      Screen Shot 2015-08-31 at 7.04.00 PM.jpgthis is a picture of how I want the page to look. I'm just worried that when we go live the files
                      will not be connected to the site anymore. I have tried uploading the pics via FTP into the same folder in my dev directory tree, but I couldn't write the code correctly for it to see the pics.

                        Can't get the attachment to open. When it is switched, the links should work and images display, so long as you have the folder/subcategory images replicated on the dev site, as well as the folder structure above that is the same as your "live". If not, your links won't work and images will not display.
