Missing Category thumbnails...

[mgsteve]

Hi Guys,

Looking at our gallery -> http://gallery.xpowerforums.com/

You can see that some categories do not have thumbnails down the left.

Some categories contain only categories, i.e. no images directly in that category - in that case, its understandable why they don't appear - although it should be smart enough to pick an image from the subcats in that case.

However, in the case of 'XPF Area Meets' - there is a photo within that category, but there is not category thumbnail on the home page.

Have we missed something?

You as admin need to tag an image in a category by hitting make album cover when viewing a photo in a particular category. You have not done so for those specific categories

The images must exist in the category so example this category can not have a category avatar

Yeah, we worked this out in the end! Would be nice to not have to upload a photo and then hide it just to get a category thumbnail though.

The way it is designed though a photo needs to exist in that category
