Brand based category images

[inalto]

I am planning to extend the category model to allow to have different category images for different brands.
The idea is to have a jsonable repeating field that binds an image choosen via the media manager to a brand.
Using of jsonable should not impact in performance.
This open the possibility to create component blocks that link to a category, which is handy in sites with multiple brands like the one i am working on.
And of course if a brand category image is missing we can fall back to the default category image.
I also imagined to build an external plugin but this is less performant and has a less simple UI

Let me know if someone is interested or has different ideas so i can create a pull request.

To me this sounds like a rather specific use-case that probably is not a good fit for the default plugin feature set.

You should be able to come up with a solution using October's plugin extension API. If you need any more events to integrate your changes, feel free to suggest them here.

Also, if you have a working solution, don't forget to share it!
