    Add Custom Image Attribute To Category In Magento 2

    Add Custom Image Attribute To Category In Magento 2 – Here I’m going to explain you how to add custom image attribute to category.

    Step:-1

    Create a AddCustomImageAttribute.php file on location vendor\Module\Setup\Patch\Data

    <?php
    
    namespace Vendor\Module\Setup\Patch\Data;
    
    use Magento\Customer\Setup\CustomerSetupFactory;
    use Magento\Framework\Setup\ModuleDataSetupInterface;
    use Magento\Framework\Setup\Patch\DataPatchInterface;
    use Magento\Catalog\Model\Category;
    
    class AddCustomImageAttribute implements DataPatchInterface
    {
        public const ATTRIBUTE_CODE = 'custom_image';
    
        /**
         * @var ModuleDataSetupInterface
         */
        private $moduleDataSetup;
    
        /**
         * @var CustomerSetupFactory
         */
        private $customerSetupFactory;
    
        /**
         * @param ModuleDataSetupInterface $moduleDataSetup
         * @param CustomerSetupFactory $customerSetupFactory
         */
        public function __construct(
            ModuleDataSetupInterface $moduleDataSetup,
            CustomerSetupFactory $customerSetupFactory
        ) {
            $this->moduleDataSetup = $moduleDataSetup;
            $this->customerSetupFactory = $customerSetupFactory;
        }
    
        /**
         * @inheritdoc
         */
        public function apply()
        {
            $customerSetup = $this->customerSetupFactory->create(['setup' => $this->moduleDataSetup]);
            $customerSetup->addAttribute(Category::ENTITY, self::ATTRIBUTE_CODE, [
                    'type' => 'varchar',
                    'label' => 'Custom Image',
                    'input' => 'image',
                    'backend' => \Magento\Catalog\Model\Category\Attribute\Backend\Image::class,
                    'required' => false,
                    'sort_order' => 9,
                    'global' => \Magento\Eav\Model\Entity\Attribute\ScopedAttributeInterface::SCOPE_STORE,
                    'group' => 'General Information',
                ]);
        }
    
        /**
         * @inheritdoc
         */
        public static function getDependencies()
        {
            return [];
        }
    
        /**
         * @inheritdoc
         */
        public function getAliases()
        {
            return [];
        }
    }

    Step:-2

    Create a category_form.xml file on location vendor\Module\view\adminhtml\ui_component

                </argument>
            </field>
        </fieldset>
    </form>
    
    

    Step:-3

    Add below code in Vendor/Module/etc/di.xml

    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:ObjectManager/etc/config.xsd">

                </argument>
            </arguments>
        </virtualType>
    </config>

    Step:-4

    Create Upload.php file on location Vendor/Module/Controller/Adminhtml/Category/Image

    <?php
    namespace Vendor\Module\Controller\Adminhtml\Category\Image;
    
    use Magento\Framework\Controller\ResultFactory;
    
    /**
     * Adminhtml Category Image Upload Controller

    class Upload extends \Magento\Backend\App\Action
    {
        /**
         * Image uploader

        protected $imageUploader;
    
        /**
         * Uploader factory
         *

        private $uploaderFactory;
    
        /**
         * Media directory object (writable).
         *

        protected $mediaDirectory;
    
        /**
         * Store manager
         *
         * @var \Magento\Store\Model\StoreManagerInterface
         */
        protected $storeManager;
    
        /**

        protected $coreFileStorageDatabase;
    
        /**

        protected $logger;
    
        /**

         */
        public function __construct(
            \Magento\Backend\App\Action\Context $context,
            \Magento\Catalog\Model\ImageUploader $imageUploader,
            \Magento\MediaStorage\Model\File\UploaderFactory $uploaderFactory,
            \Magento\Framework\Filesystem $filesystem,
            \Magento\Store\Model\StoreManagerInterface $storeManager,
            \Magento\MediaStorage\Helper\File\Storage\Database $coreFileStorageDatabase,
            \Psr\Log\LoggerInterface $logger
        ) {
            parent::__construct($context);
            $this->imageUploader = $imageUploader;
            $this->uploaderFactory = $uploaderFactory;
            $this->mediaDirectory = $filesystem->getDirectoryWrite(\Magento\Framework\App\Filesystem\DirectoryList::MEDIA);
            $this->storeManager = $storeManager;
            $this->coreFileStorageDatabase = $coreFileStorageDatabase;
            $this->logger = $logger;
        }
    
        /**
         * Check admin permissions for this controller
         *
         * @return boolean
         */
        protected function _isAllowed()
        {
            return $this->_authorization->isAllowed('Vendor_Module::category');
        }
    
        /**
         * Upload file controller action
         *
         * @return \Magento\Framework\Controller\ResultInterface
         */
        public function execute()
        {
            try {
                $result = $this->imageUploader->saveFileToTmpDir('custom_image');
                $result['cookie'] = [
                    'name' => $this->_getSession()->getName(),
                    'value' => $this->_getSession()->getSessionId(),
                    'lifetime' => $this->_getSession()->getCookieLifetime(),
                    'path' => $this->_getSession()->getCookiePath(),
                    'domain' => $this->_getSession()->getCookieDomain(),
                ];
            } catch (\Exception $e) {
                $result = ['error' => $e->getMessage(), 'errorcode' => $e->getCode()];
            }
            return $this->resultFactory->create(ResultFactory::TYPE_JSON)->setData($result);
        }
    }
    
    

    Step:-5

    Then create DataProvider.php file on location Vendor\Module\Model\Category

    <?php
    namespace Vendor\Module\Model\Category;
     
    class DataProvider extends \Magento\Catalog\Model\Category\DataProvider
    {
     
    	protected function getFieldsMap()
    	{
        	$fields = parent::getFieldsMap();
            $fields['content'][] = 'custom_image'; // custom image field
        	
        	return $fields;
    	}
    }

    Step:-6

    Then at last create routes.xml on location Vendor\Module\etc\adminhtml

    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    
    <config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:App/etc/routes.xsd">
        <router id="admin">
            <route id="route_id" frontName="front_name">
                <module name="Vendor_Module"/>
            </route>
        </router>
    </config>
    category-image

    In this way we can add image attribute to category. Thanks…

    Hi
    How to create category multislect attribute with search box
  • Eran Greenwald
    Hello
    Thank you for this post, it helped me a lot.
    When i upload an image i get 404 on this url:
    Site_Admin_Url/module/category_image/upload/key
    How can i fix this.

    Thanks 🙂

    • Huy Tran
      Just try add routes.xml into di/adminhtml.
      Replace module with your routes frontName.
      Your dir will separate with “_”: if your dir is Adminhtml/Category/Imageabc/Upload.php -> category_imageabc/upload
  • Sony
    Hi Rani,
    What was the Magento version when you did this tutorial ?
    I followed your steps on a Magento version 2.3 , but no luck.

    Actually all is working fine, except that the image is not saved.
    I think that we need to specify a custom backend source image which extends the native.
    Regards.

    • Rani Priya (Moderator)
      Hi Sony,

      Do you have created route for adminhtml? I mean etc/adminhtml/routes.xml file

      • Sony
        Hi yeah, i created the route. Weirdly it works now, do not know what change i made. But it seems working now, and at the end i used the native magento for the backend model ‘Magento\Catalog\Model\Category\Attribute\Backend\Image’, i did not need to create a custom backend model. Thanks ! 😉

      Hi Orvin,

      Hope it’s working fine at your end as well.

      In case if you will face any other issue then comment below we will surely help you.

  • Daniel Bello
    Hello, good job.
    How can we show this attribute on front end?
    Thanks
    • Rani Priya (Moderator)
      Hi Daniel,

      Please follow below steps in order to get image url at frontend.
      careate instance of class Magento\Catalog\Model\CategoryRepository
      then get category model by calling get method like
      $category = $categoryRepository->get($categoryId, $storeId);
      $imageUrl = “magento_media_url_path”.”catalog/category/”.$category->getCustomImage();
      And then you can use this $imageUrl in your custom category page or as per your design.

      Thanks

      • Karol
        any chance you write more specific in frontend part ? i cannot make this working ;(
        • Simon
          $this->_storeManager->getStore()->getBaseUrl(UrlInterface::URL_TYPE_MEDIA) . ‘catalog/category/’ . $category->getData(‘custom_image’);
