How can I add Category thumbnails to archive page?

[svartkjel]

I'm trying to add a category thumbnail, similar to featured image in post or page. The thumbnail will be used togther with Title and description for category archive.

So, I'm wondering if there is an easy way to do this with genesis.

1. I would like to get something similar to the "set featured image" on  Category edit page.

2. Is there a hook or filter I can use so the category thumbnail is outputed together with title and description on category archive? Also, How would I go about to filter the Title and description of category archive so the show up on all page and not only page one of the category archive?

Its all managed in the Genesis > Theme Settings > Content Archives

No, thumbnail and content of posts shown in category archive is managed in Genesis > Theme Settings > Content Archives.

Title and intro/decription of  category (shown before posts on most child themes if in use) is handled in the Edit Category page. This function is located in Genesis -> lib -> structure -> archive.php as "function genesis_do_taxonomy_title_description()"

So the question is how to be able to choose a featured image for a category, and then how to use a hook/filter to show it together with title and description before the loop.

Check out the "genesis taxonomy images" plugin. Once you have it installed, it adds a "Thumbnail" image uploader to your category edit screen as well as a thumbnail preview column to your category manager listing.

You'll also need to add a filter to your child theme's functions.php like so:

/**
 * Add Genesis Taxonomy Image to Archive Description box
 *
 * Genesis hooks wpautop to the same 'genesis_term_intro_text_output' filter, therefore:
 * - to display IMG and text in same <p> tag, ensure that this function is hooked with priority < 10
 * - to display IMG outside of <p> tag added to text, ensure that this function is hooked with priority 10 or higher
 *
 */
add_filter( 'genesis_term_intro_text_output', 'your_category_thumbnail', 9 );

function your_category_thumbnail( $text ) {

	$image = gtaxi_get_taxonomy_image();
	return $image . $text ;

}
