          Magento version 1.9.1.0 removes the feature of adding thumbnail image for category in Admin Panel. The Thumbnail attribute will normally be added when you install the sample data, but you can do it also manually with a few SQL queries or a custom setup script.



          eav_attribute table:



          INSERT INTO `eav_attribute` (`attribute_id`, `entity_type_id`, `attribute_code`,
          `attribute_model`, `backend_model`, `backend_type`, `backend_table`, `frontend_model`,
          `frontend_input`, `frontend_label`, `frontend_class`, `source_model`, `is_required`,
          `is_user_defined`, `default_value`, `is_unique`, `note`) VALUES(140, 3, 'thumbnail', NULL,
          'catalog/category_attribute_backend_image', 'varchar', NULL, NULL, 'image', 'Thumbnail
          Image', NULL, NULL, 0, 0, NULL, 0, NULL);


          catalog_eav_attribute table:



          INSERT INTO `catalog_eav_attribute` (`attribute_id`, `frontend_input_renderer`,
          `is_global`, `is_visible`, `is_searchable`, `is_filterable`, `is_comparable`,
          `is_visible_on_front`, `is_html_allowed_on_front`, `is_used_for_price_rules`,
          `is_filterable_in_search`, `used_in_product_listing`, `used_for_sort_by`,
          `is_configurable`, `apply_to`, `is_visible_in_advanced_search`, `position`,
          `is_wysiwyg_enabled`, `is_used_for_promo_rules`) VALUES
          (140, NULL, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, NULL, 0, 0, 0, 0);


          eav_entity_attribute table:



          INSERT INTO `eav_entity_attribute` (`entity_attribute_id`, `entity_type_id`,  
          `attribute_set_id`, `attribute_group_id`, `attribute_id`, `sort_order`)
          VALUES (337, 3, 3, 4, 140, 3);


          or use the custom setup script:



          <?php
          $this->startSetup();

          $attribute = array(
          'thumbnail' => array(
          'type' => 'varchar',
          'label' => 'Thumbnail Image',
          'input' => 'image',
          'backend' => 'catalog/category_attribute_backend_image',
          'required' => false,
          'sort_order' => 5,
          'global' => Mage_Catalog_Model_Resource_Eav_Attribute::SCOPE_STORE,
          'group' => 'General Information',
          ),
          );


          $this->addAttribute(Mage_Catalog_Model_Category::ENTITY, 'thumbnail', $attribute);
          $this->endSetup();

          • @AhmadDarwish the ID 140 was just from my example, for the queries 2 and 3 use the ID which was generated for the thumbnail attribute in the eav_attribute table.

          • This adds it to the database perfectly but is there something missing to actually call it in the frontend now since 1.9 because $_category->getThumbnail() doesn't work for me...

          In Magento 1.9.X version they disable module for category Thumbnail.



          The thumbnail attribute is active by Mage_XmlConnect module.



          So you just need to enable Mage_XmlConnect module to fix the issue.



          You can find this module in app/etc/Mage_XmlConnect.xml



          Now make it active:
          replace false
          with : true



          Now clear your cache.

          • @AhmadDarwish the ID 140 was just from my example, for the queries 2 and 3 use the ID which was generated for the thumbnail attribute in the eav_attribute table.

          • This adds it to the database perfectly but is there something missing to actually call it in the frontend now since 1.9 because $_category->getThumbnail() doesn't work for me...

          In Magento 1.9.X version they disable module for category Thumbnail.



          The thumbnail attribute is active by Mage_XmlConnect module.



          So you just need to enable Mage_XmlConnect module to fix the issue.



          You can find this module in app/etc/Mage_XmlConnect.xml



          Now make it active:
          replace false
          with : true



          Now clear your cache.
