Notice that the Tracker, Priority and Status all have their ID number.
But no Category is showing up (with or without an ID)

I've looked around to see if there is some other thing I need to define or set up but I'm lost.

Well, it all boils down to the fact that this feature (having a category_id CSS class for issues) has not (yet) been implemented in the Redmine core (see Issue#css_classes, source:/trunk/app/models/issue.rb@14420#L1202). A quick search through the open issues (here on redmine.org) shows me that this feature has not been requested before.
Nevertheless, it won't be very hard to implement it. Adding a line like s << " category-#{category_id}" if category.present? to Issue#css_classes will do the job. Here's a patch against current source:/trunk@14420:

diff --git a/app/models/issue.rb b/app/models/issue.rb
index e0f93fa..4f3b463 100644
--- a/app/models/issue.rb
+++ b/app/models/issue.rb

+    s << " category-#{category_id}" if category.present?
     s << ' closed' if closed?
     s << ' overdue' if overdue?
     s << ' child' if child?

I hope this helps. Kind regards,

Mischa.

OK so that was so cool.

Thank you sooo much.
I added the one line to the issues.rb and in addition to my application.css entries indicated it works perfectly.

I did not mention that I had taken the time to search forums and wikis and everything I could think of for Category Icons and found absolutely nothing. I cant believe I'm the first one to ask for this.

Thank you for making this very simple.
But how do I give back? how do I correctly request this get added to the root so others can use it without a hack?

Again, thank you so much!

P.S. Redmine rocks.

Well, submissions has some info about how to open feature requests. But in this case I'll take care of it. I'll update the diff I've attached here with a proper test and file it as a patch issue.

Mischa.

Thank you again.
