category titles > change text to images

[bluhalo]

i would like to simply replace the category titles text heading with an image (the client would like to have a banner there instead), im a little stumped.

will this affect my categories list menu?

many thanks

It's a code change.

1) add a new upload to the categories of "titleimg"
2) add the field to the DB
3) modify the code to read the new field from the DB and display it to the user

Two file changes (one in admin the other in template/content)
One DB change

The good... they will be able to control style/font/etc on the page
The bad... potential loss of index positioning of the categories pages in google.

I just thought of another option... You could let the system do the text to image translations... That would be a call to a few functions. Then you could store the image in cache and refresh every 24 hours from there... That would make it only one file to be modified (the template/content) but it would require you know a bit about the text to image manipulation in PHP.
