Remove dash in front of Categories

**roadliner** · 22 Sep 2008, 02:54 AM

This is probably a simple problem and sorry for the noob question but how do you remove the dash in front of the category names? I have been trying for a couple of days searching this site trying to find out how to do this. I have also tried the Config Layout Settings with no success.

Thanks!

You are seeing the dash as it is a part of the Rustic Template you are using.

The dash image is defined in the following code of the /includes/templates/rustic/sideboxes/tpl_categories.php file and cannot be altered from the Config Layout settings.

PHP Code:


$pointer = zen_image(DIR_WS_TEMPLATE_IMAGES . 'bc_cat_no_sub.gif');

To prevent the image from displaying, you can change the code to

PHP Code:


$pointer = '';

Thank you so much Goh!!! That works!

Now I noticed that since I have so many categories that the category box lines doesn't complete the box - it goes up only 3/5ths of the way. How can I get the lines to complete the category box?

It's because it is a background image, and the amount of categories you have extend beyond the image:

Code:

#categoriesContent {stylesheet.css (line 373)
background-image:url(../images/cb_content.gif);
background-position:center bottom;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
font-weight:bold;
padding:0.4em 0.4em 10px;
}

You would need to open the image in a graphics program and modify it so it could be longer (basically clone a section onto the top end of it)

I modified the image for you and uploaded it to my site, save this image (right-click the link and save target as) and replace the one your images directory with this and you should be good to go :)
