[SOLVED] Get Category images?
« on: June 03, 2022, 09:33:12 am »
Hello,

I am trying to get the images for a category in a custom module I am working on.

I can get the category by doing:
$categoryModel->getCategory($catId);

However I don't see the images for the category.

I am interested in getting the filenames so I can use them in my code (instead of the built-in displayMediaThumb method)

Thanks

$category = $categoryModel->getCategory($catId);
$categoryModel->addImages($category);

does that work?
