[FEATURE] Category images

[psaikoheiko]

Extension version

4.2.2

Short problem description

We would like to be able to display the images of categorys in the list view but there is no possibility. Categories in backend can have images but there is no way to display them via arrays, which would be a great solution since our customers dont have a single image for each event. In order to avoid uploading the same image to every single event they would be able to upload it once for their categories which would be great to display at least a hint in the list view.

Categories in TYPO3 backend do not have an image by default. It is ext:news that adds additional fields to the category domain model (see: https://github.com/georgringer/news/blob/master/ext_tables.sql#L72)

If you want ext:sf_event_mgt to use the category domain model of ext:news, the category domain model of ext:sf_event_mgt needs to be overridden as shown below:

Add this to an extension (e.g. your sitepackage) in ext_localconf.php:

    GeneralUtility::makeInstance(\TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Object\Container\Container::class)
        ->registerImplementation(
            \DERHANSEN\SfEventMgt\Domain\Model\Category::class,
            \GeorgRinger\News\Domain\Model\Category::class
        );

After adding this snippet and clearing the cache, all categories in events do now use the category domain model of ext:news

Please do not close this issue, I will update the FAQ in the docs about this topic.
