# Comment picture script (c2c) problem

 * Hello!
 * I want to use the plugin for category images from Coffee2Code: [http://www.coffee2code.com/archives/2004/06/27/plugin-category-images/](http://www.coffee2code.com/archives/2004/06/27/plugin-category-images/).
   
   As I am quite a php beginner, I need help with point 4 of the “installation” 
   list. What and where am I supposed to replace “the_category()” with “c2c_the_category_image()”?
   I already replaced it in the Main Template, but it doesn’t work.
 * Have a look at the site (I just build it up, it’s not finished at all): [http://www.fan-sites.org/audrey-tautou/](http://www.fan-sites.org/audrey-tautou/)
   
   Thanks for help!

 * I’m not sure what you mean by “Main Template”, but you have to place the function
   call within the loop, and normally in the index.php file for your theme. When
   I say “within the loop”, I mean between these lines:
    `<?php if (have_posts()):?
   > <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
 * and this one:
    ` <?php } endwhile; ?>`
 * I use that particular plugin, and I placed the call immediately after the date
   stamp code for a post (I use the Kubrick theme):
    `<?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?
   >`
 * Use this code to call the category image function only if the plugin is activated(
   prevents your site from doing weird things when a plugin is disabled):
    `<?php
   if (function_exists('c2c_the_category_image')) c2c_the_category_image(' ', '','
   gif png'); ?>`
 * Check out [my site](http://chrisbunting.com/blog/) for an example of the plugin
   in action. The images aligned to the right under a post title are the result 
   of the plugin. I should also mention that you will want to add the appropriate
   CSS to format and align the images the way you like.

 * Thanks first of all.
 * Yes, I put the tag between the loop and I now did exactly what you said – I placed
   your code right after the `<?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?>`. But it still doesn’t
   work: [http://fan-sites.org/audrey-tautou](http://fan-sites.org/audrey-tautou)
 * My “Main Template” (the index file in the Default theme) is this now:
    `<?php
   get_header(); ?>`
 *  <div id="content" class="narrowcolumn">
 *  <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
 *  <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
 *  <div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
    <h2>" rel="bookmark" title="
   Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?>
   </h2>
    <small>
   <?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> <?php if (function_exists('c2c_the_category_image'))
   c2c_the_category_image(' ', '', 'gif png'); ?><!-- by <?php the_author() ?> --
   ></small>
 *  <div class="entry">
    <?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry »'); ?> 
   </div>
 *  <p class="postmetadata">Posted in
    <?php the_category() ?> **|** <?php edit_post_link('
   Edit','','**|**'); ?> <?php comments_popup_link('No Comments »', '1 Comment »','%
   Comments »'); ?> </div>
 *  <?php endwhile; ?>
 *  <div class="navigation">
    <div class="alignleft"><?php next_posts_link('« Previous
   Entries') ?></div> <div class="alignright"><?php previous_posts_link('Next Entries»')?
   ></div> </div>
 *  <?php else : ?>
 *  <h2 class="center">Not Found</h2>
    <p class="center">Sorry, but you are looking
   for something that isn't here. <?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . "/searchform.php");?
   >
 *  <?php endif; ?>
 *  </div>
 * <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
 * <?php get_footer(); ?>
 * Where is my fault?

 * Time for the obvious questions:
 * Did you create the appropriate folder to store your images (the default is ‘/
   wp-content/images’)? If so, did you upload images to this folder in the correct
   format? By correct format, I mean did you name the file the correct name to correspond
   with a category, and is the file extension the correct type (for example, in 
   your case it could be a file named ‘audrey.jpg’)?
 * You may have already taken care of the above, but we gotta check the basic stuff
   before we look into more complicated reasons for it not working. If the image
   corresponding to a particular category doesn’t exist, the plugin will simply 
   not display anything. This makes it appear as though it’s not working, but in
   fact it’s working perfectly!

 * Yes, I did so. I have an audrey.jpg, audrey.png and audrey.gif uploaded in wp-
   content/images – and still it isn’t showing a pic.
 * Maybe did I replace the tag in the wrong place? I replaced it as I said in the“
   Main Template” of the default theme that is activated. you can find that “Main
   Template” in the presentation > theme editor function. Did I do right in replacing
   the tag there??!

 * I’m sorry, I told you wrong. I put my category image function call right after
   the closing `</small>` tag. Though I doubt that would make a difference for it
   to not be working. So my code looks like this:
    `<?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?>
   <!-- by <?php the_author() ?> --></small><?php if (function_exists('c2c_the_category_image'))
   c2c_the_category_image(' ', '', 'gif png'); ?>`
 * The only other silly question I want to ask is if the plugin is activated? You
   mentioned that you were to step 4 in the installation instructions, which is 
   after the activation step, but I had to check.
 * Lastly, here’s the CSS that I use to style my category images:
    `.catimage { 
   float: right; padding: 0 4px 0 4px; }
 * You will probably need to adjust the padding values, depending on your image 
   sizes and site structure (when we get the plugin working). Hopefully someone 
   else will chime in soon with a suggestion!

 * I tried it all out, but it isn’t working. I don’t know why (???).
 * Thanks a lot for you help though – maybe somebody else has a new idea, I am completely
   clueless. 😉
