This mod will give you images in the Refine Search box on the category page (sub category images).

Included is a vQmod, instructions on how to manually alter the files and replacement default files if you want to use them.

You'll need to apply your own css styling although I have added centering to the template/instructions.

Either upload the vQmod OR do the manual edits, DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT do both.

UPDATED: The 1.5.3 version now responds to the product count option.

ALL:To change image size, search for

$image = $this->model_tool_image->resize($result['image'], 60, 60;

60,60 is the size of the images, change as required

To remove the product count (NOT 1.5.3), search for

'name' => $result['name'] . ' (' . $product_total . ')',

and replace with

'name' => $result['name'],

IF THIS MOD DOES NOT WORK FOR YOU:

The error is because:
1. installed more than one method (ie. vqmod AND manual edits);
2. there is another mod altering the file near the same place;
3. your ../controller/category.php is not standard or previously edited;
4. you already have sub-cat images with your theme.
