How to get a cagetory's image through API? and other.

ljnet

Hi checkfront team,

For example, 
/api/3.0/category?category_id=6

I get the category:

    "category": {

        "6": {

            "category_id": 6,

            "name": "Center_aaa",

            "description": "test center",

            "pos": 0,

            "qty": 0,

            "unit": "N"

        }

    }

Q1: there has no image url in the result, how to get it?

Q2: when changing a new photo for a category in the checkfront management console, the image doesn't update, still shows the old one.

Q3: We have several locations(business centers),  I should treat each location as a category in checkfront system?
      each location has attributes of "address, coordinates, more", how do I save these attributes in 'category', in 'description'?

Hello,

We are reviewing this for you and will get back to you as soon as possible.

Thank you for your patience.

Hi ljnet,

Thanks for your questions! 

Q1) We don't currently have a way to fetch a category image using the API. I've sent a feature request to our product team to review. You can learn more about feature requests here: https://www.checkfront.com/how-we-handle-feature-requests

Q2) When you delete an existing image and then add a new one, the new image should show up. I'd recommend that you email support@checkfront.com if you're still experiencing this issue and we can take a look at your specific account.

Q3) Each location can be treated a category, but the address, coordinates, and additional information would need to be added to the items individually. We don't currently have a way to store attributes on a category.
