Hi @Jeeva Rathinam,
Maybe you can create a module with install scripts to add a new attribute for your category.
If you only need to show as new (or not) you can create a yes/no attribute for categories:
$installer = $this;
$installer->startSetup();
$installer->addAttribute('catalog_category', 'test_yes_no', array(
'type' => 'int',
'backend' => '',
'frontend' => '',
'label' => 'Test Yes/No',
'input' => 'select',
'class' => '',
'source' => 'eav/entity_attribute_source_boolean',
'global' => 1,
'visible' => 1,
'required' => 0,
'user_defined' => 0,
'default' => '',
'searchable' => 0,
'filterable' => 0,
'comparable' => 0,
'visible_on_front' => 0,
'unique' => 0,
'position' => 1,
));
$installer->endSetup();If you need to add different images/icons, maybe you'll need another type of attribute:
$installer = $this;
$installer->startSetup();
$installer->addAttribute('catalog_category', 'test_picture', array(
'type' => 'varchar',
'backend' => 'catalog/category_attribute_backend_image',
'frontend' => '',
'label' => 'Test Picture',
'input' => 'image',
'class' => '',
'source' => '',
'global' => 0,
'visible' => 1,
'required' => 0,
'user_defined' => 0,
'default' => '',
'searchable' => 0,
'filterable' => 0,
'comparable' => 0,
'visible_on_front' => 0,
'unique' => 0,
'position' => 1,
));
$installer->endSetup();Then you'll need to edit the html part of the menu to show your new value with the category name.
