How to link category images in Virtuemart component?

[rade039]

Hello everyone,

I am using Joomla 2.5.27 and Virtuemart 2.0.26 version.

As I said in title, I want to link category images (by default, just text is linked, not image). I don't want to link product image, just category image, so when someone open front shop, and categories are listed, and I want that someone who click on image, open subcategories or products in that category.

I hope that you understand me, and sorry because my bad English. I try to find solution on this forum and on Google, but without success.

Thank you in advance

Your VirtueMart version is old and should be updated. Current versions are 2.6.14 and 3.0.2   http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=118683.0

But test the update on a backup of the site first.

If the update does not fix your problem then you have a template issue. Are you using a commercial template with overrides?  What is the URL?

Hi, I will update it ASAP.

This is a link of site: http://snupi.eu/modular/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=category&virtuemart_category_id=21&categorylayout=0&Itemid=563 It's a comercial template OT print.

This is not a problem, I think...because on default VM template is a same thing. So, when you open this link above, you will see 2 cat. Now, I want to link image, like the name of cat is linked. I hope that you understand what I need to do?

That page is using a template override for the file components/com_virtuemart/views/category/tmpl/default.php   yu will need to edit the override, or rename the directory at [yourjoomlatemplate]/html/com_virtuemart

Thank you very much. But I need that template, so could you please just tell me what I must change in this file (from template) to get image linked, like in default VM template? I hope that I don't ask too much. This is a file:
