How to link sub category image to a page instead of opening an image??

[lukelee]

After 4 hours research, finally I give up.
This is the page: http://essenzechocolate.test.hornetmarketing.com.au/handmade-chocolate/novelty-gift-ideas
When click on the subcategory image, it opens an image, I want it go to the category page, just like the link on title.
I edited this code:

Code Select Expand

echo $category->images[0]->displayMediaThumb ("", false);
Just not working!

Thank you , bytelord:
  I have checked this link, but no help.
  It tells how to link product image to product page.
  But I want link category image to category page with product lists.

But this is working out of the box ...

Ok, Can you please tell me what code do I use to replace this?

Code Select Expand

echo $category->images[0]->displayMediaThumb ("", false);

It works if I use these code:

Code Select Expand

<h2>
<a href="<?php echo $caturl ?>" title="<?php echo $category->category_name ?>">
<?php echo $category->category_name ?>
<br/>
<img src="<?php echo $this->category->images[0]->file_url_thumb; ?>
<?php // if ($category->ids) {
echo $category->images[0]->displayMediaThumb ("", false);
//} ?>
</a>
</h2>

But I feel the code is not right. there is no closing tag for <img, but if I put closing tag, the link goes back to image.

Code Select Expand

<h2>
    <a href="<?php echo $caturl ?>" title="<?php echo $category->category_name ?>">
            <?php echo $category->category_name ?>
            <br/>
            <?php // if ($category->ids) {
            echo $category->images[0]->displayMediaThumb ("", FALSE);
            //} ?>
    </a>
</h2>

Thanks,bytelord: But it doesnt work, this is the default virtuemart code, which opens a child category image, not a page.

Nope,

Is working, the code is clear, may be using any third party libraries for images control and messes with your site, like modal boxes, super faceboxes, etc.

Thank you, bytelord. you are right, it was modal box.
Do you have any idea how to disable it for category image?
