I know this is a bit of an odd question, but does anyone know of a plugin for creating a module that shows a specific category's image, text, title and link?

Hello Kelsey,

I use a custom mod_menu instance which in the notes I add the category's description I want to show and I also use the menu's item image.

Furthermore you can use aliases so you won't harm your URL patterns.

Excellent idea, I like it.

I've been hunting around, but can't see immediately the php variable for the notes field - any pointers?

Quick note - figured it out, for those who want to do this in the future.

When customising mod_menu, in the _url and _component overrides, add in this variable:

You can then use that to pull down the menu item note wherever you like into the layout.

Nice one Kelsey :)
Kudos!
