[Resolved] Dynamic image block

[Søren]

I’m trying to use the product category thumbnail_id image as META FIELD NAME value when setting type = post meta, but it doesn’t output anything.

When setting the type = Featured image it just shows the first product and I would like to use the product category image.

Are there any other way of dynamic outputting a/the category image somehow?

Hi there,

they store it in the term meta, so for now you would need to create a shortcode for that. Try this snippet:

function show_woo_cat_image($html) {
    if ( is_product_category() ){
        global $wp_query;
        $cat = $wp_query->get_queried_object();
        $thumbnail_id = get_term_meta( $cat->term_id, 'thumbnail_id', true );
        $image = wp_get_attachment_url( $thumbnail_id );
        if ( $image ) {
            $html =  '<img src="' . $image . '" alt="' . $cat->name . '" />';
            return $html;
        }
    }
}
add_shortcode('show_cat_image', 'show_woo_cat_image' );

Then add [show_cat_image] shortcode where you want it displayed.
