I have looked and cant find the answer for this one.

How can i add more fields to the categories in the admin.

I have been able to find everything but that.

It doesnt seem to be as easy as adding fields to the user section.


any ideas?
Also has anyone found out how to add more then 1 random image to the front page.  I have tried everything i can find here and all i have is 3 of the same random images.


Thanks

Ok, I was able to add the table to the admin and also the database.

So when i add the new info it saves to the database.  The only thing that i can get is how to pull that info into the site.

i.e.  I added a field to the database called cat_age

It has all the info that i need i just need to get that info  to show up on the category page when you goto that cat.


Any Ideas?

Thanks Again

First see the code in global.php after this line:
if (defined("GET_CACHES")) {
Add the new field to the sql query. All category data will be saved to the $cat_cache array. From this you can register the value to the template engine.

For example in categories.php

Add after
"cat_hits" => $cat_cache[$cat_id]['cat_hits'],
this
"cat_age" => $cat_cache[$cat_id]['cat_age'],
Now you can use {cat_age} in the categories.html template.
