Displaying on the home page or in Widgets

There is a filter built-in that funtions very closely to get_terms(). I would suggest starting there.

This is what I wound up using. It works for what I needed. Hopefully it helps someone else. I wound up adding a jquery cycle function to these to make a nice little Term Slider.

`$terms = apply_filters( ‘taxonomy-images-get-terms’, ”, array(‘taxonomy’=>’product_categories’) );

if ( ! empty( $terms ) ) {
echo ‘<div id=”slider-wrap”><div id=”slider-r”>’;
foreach( (array) $terms as $term ) {
echo ‘<div class=”product_category_item”><div class=”imageunder”>taxonomy ) ) . ‘”>’ . wp_get_attachment_image( $term->image_id, ‘taxonomy-image’ ) . ‘</div><div class=”textover”>taxonomy ) ) . ‘”><h1>’.$term->name.'</h1><p>’ . $term->description . ‘</p></div></div>’;
}
echo ‘</div><div class=”slider-nav”><ul class=”nav-thumbs”>’;
foreach( (array) $terms as $term ) {
echo ‘<li class=”thumb-item”>‘ . wp_get_attachment_image( $term->image_id, ‘taxonomy-thumb’ ) . ‘‘;
}
echo ”;
echo ‘</div></div>’;
}’

I am also looking for a way to utilize the plugin outside the loop (in my case to call a single category image in a widget).

Could you go into a little more detail on the filter suggested above (similar to get_terms)? I’m trying to follow along with the logic, but my php is still in learning curve mode.

Many thanks!
