Yuki- just moved your question to the Themes forum as you might get an answer there.

Hu Yuki,

You do realise that Category Pages are a kind of meta page and not designed to do anything other than display a list of courses?

It is far easier to edit a Course page. You could, in actual fact, create a course page to act like a category for a group of courses.

So to summerise, no you cannot add Images in a category page, but you can in a course page.

My wesbite is not open and before login as an student I want to give all users too see all my courses. I could make a static page of list of courses but the problem is I have to edit it time to time if there is need but this index page case I dont have to edit and its dynamic morever it has I(info) icon which is giving summarry to the users of courses before enrolling or choosing those course. What can be the other best way to do it (except static one)?

Hi Yuki.

Why not do something like this. I have changed the way the course view summary/info works on my Moodle 1.9 site HERE

#site-index.course .coursebox .summary,
#site-index.course .coursebox .info {
    width: 98%;
    margin: 0 auto;
}

To set this up on your Front Page go to...
If you go to Administration > Front Page > Front Page settings

and then make the Front Page use Courses and site news or Site topic and Course.

Then whatever you add in each Course summary description be it images or text of both theme will show up like the example on my site.

HTH
