First of all, I'm a newbie to this forum, so sorry if i'm posting the thread to incorrect place.

I ve been trying to search for the usage of function wpsc_category_image() (WP e-commerce wordpress plug-in), there were some results but unfortunately I still cannot achieve what I expected.

I want to show all images of wpsc categories, and tried the below codes:

HTML

    <div class="wpsc_categories wpsc_category_grid group">
    <?php wpsc_start_category_query(array('category_group'=> 1, 'show_thumbnails'=> 1));?>
    <a href="<?php wpsc_print_category_url();?>" class="wpsc_category_grid_item  <?php wpsc_print_category_classes_section(); ?>" title="<?php wpsc_print_category_name();?>" style="background:url(<?php echo wpsc_category_image(); ?>)">
    </a>

<?php wpsc_end_category_query(); ?>

From what I have read from Internet, these codes should work fine, but somehow the function wpsc_category_image() returned nothing.

Could you guys please tell me the problem in this? I would be very appreciated, I promised my friend to help him make the website, but this is where I still got stuck

According to the plugin docs[^], the array that you pass as the parameter uses parent_category_id, not category_group.

Here's the example they use that you may want to follow:

PHP

<?php wpsc_start_category_query( array( 
        'parent_category_id' => $category_id, 
        'show_thumbnails' => $show_thumbnails, 
        'show_name' => $show_name 
    ) 
); ?>
