Hi Amit,
How about copying the photo upload mechanism from Contacts? That's by far the
quickest way to get category icons.
Add the image control:
1. Copy /modules/data/dialogs/contact/personalTab/photo to
/modules/data/dialogs/category/mainTab.
2. Rename the copied node to "icon".
3. Edit some categories to add icons to them.
Render icons next to category labels:
1. Edit the categoryCloud.ft paragraph script. It's in the Categorization
module JAR but you can test this out by creating a template in resources and
referencing it from the paragraph definition instead.
2. Assign icons to categories.
[#assign itemLevel = item.level]
[#assign itemLink = model.getCategoryLink(itemName)!]
[#assign itemIcon = item.icon!]
3. Render.
<li class="${itemLevel}">
[#if item.icon?exists]
<img src="${stk.createImageLink(itemIcon)}" />
[/#if]
<a href="${itemLink}" >${itemDisplayName}</a>
</li>
If you prefer a DAM control:
1. Copy a DAM control from
/modules/standard-templating-kit/dialogs/generic/controls/tabImage/image.
2. Rename to "iconDMS".
3. Upload some icons into DMS and browse to them from categories with the new
DAM control.
4. In paragraph script, assign.
[#assign itemIcon = item.iconDMS!]
5. Render.
[#if item.iconDMS?exists]
<img src="${stk.getAssetLink(item, 'iconDMS')}" />
[/#if]
