Question

I try to add a category in magento by this code:

$_cat = new Mage_Catalog_Model_Category();
$_cat->setName($nom);
$_cat->setUrlKey($nom);
$_cat->setIsActive(1);

$parentCategory = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load(2);
$_cat->setPath($parentCategory->getPath());             
$mediaAttribute = array ('thumbnail');
$_cat->addImageToMediaGallery($other_file, $mediaAttribute, true, false);
$_cat->save();

its works, but the image is not inserted, I need to know what is the correct code to insert the category image programmatically,

Thanks u.

Answer 1

ok I solved it , to add additionnel datas write :

$data['display_mode'] = 'PRODUCTS_AND_PAGE';
$data['page_layout'] = 'one_column';
$data['thumbnail'] = $path; // path to your image 
$_cat->addData($data);  

then put your image in YOUR_MAGENTO/media/catalog/category/NAME_OF_IMAGE.jpg

Cheers.
