Categories Dressing
|
This is a mix-and-match group of alterations you can make to the appearance of the standard Zen Cart "Categories" sidebox. Each alteration can be repeated with different characteristics, or omitted if not wanted. - You can add dividers and/or non-linked headings in any desired locations. - You can add images to these headings. - You can replace any desired category names with image links. - You can give a desired style to any of these alterations using your stylesheet. This mod does not provide a specific style, unlike BetterCategories; it simply provides a set of tools to easily give your own style to the Categories box. |

|
Various function improvements; Categories now structured as ul lists; Multiple language support built in; Category active/level control added; User settings all moved to define file. # You can group categories under desired headings, and style the groups as separate boxes. # You can use multiple languages just by adding a new set of images and definitions. # You can control which categories display, by active cat tree, or by level, hiding top and/or subcats. # All of these changes are controlled by modifying defines in one language file; no user code changes are required in the template file. Image file naming system unchanged, so images from previous mod versions will work as-is. |
