Categories Dressing

The admin buttons will control the entire function of the category, not just the sidebox display.
See the other thread you posted in for discussion of the issue.

Hello,
I am having a little difficulty figuring out the code for this plugin. I have attached an image of what I currently have on the left, and how I would like it to look on the right. I cannot seem to get the placements right.

Here is how the code looks...
//example defines - copy & modify for each category desired
define ('CAT_BOX_HEADING_#','group|divider/class|[imgname]|[imgalt][|headcontent|headclass][|headcontent|headclass]...');
define ('CAT_BOX_HEADING_1','1|0|||Jewellery making|1');//new list - text headings - style 1
define ('CAT_BOX_HEADING_2','1|0|||Laser cut jewellery|1');//new list - text headings - style 1
define ('CAT_BOX_HEADING_3','1|0|||Scrapbooking and paper craft|1');//new list - text headings - style 1
define ('CAT_BOX_HEADING_4','1|0|||Custom celebration accessories|1');//new list - text headings - style 1
define ('CAT_BOX_HEADING_23','0|1|||Another Heading|2');//no list break - divider and text heading - style 2
define ('CAT_BOX_HEADING_33_34','0|0|||Subcat Heading|3');//simple text heading - style 3
define ('CAT_BOX_HEADING_48','1|0|cathead48.gif|Cat 48 Heading|Buy Now...|3');//image heading and alt text - can be followed by text heading(s)
define ('CAT_BOX_HEADING_52','0|1||');//divider only - style 1
define ('CAT_BOX_HEADING_53','0|2||');//divider only - style 2
define ('CAT_BOX_HEADING_FEATURED','0|0|||Featured Heading|3');//no list break - text heading
define ('CAT_BOX_SUBTEXT_23','Subtext for cat 23 escape apostrophe\'s|1');//subtext - style 1


Can anyone help?
Thank you

You have defined CAT_BOX_HEADING_1, 2, 3 & 4, which will insert themselves above category ids 1, 2, 3 & 4, wherever they are located in the menu. You need to look up the actual ids of the categories you want at the top of each section and substitute those for 1-4.
Also, comment out the example defines with // so they don't activate by accident, like this:

PHP Code:

---

//define ('CAT_BOX_HEADING_23','0|1|||Another Heading|2');//no list break - divider and text heading - style 2

Im using 1.5.1 and on the top category the main colour is gradient and shows fine in firefox and on my iphone, but can i get it to work in IE - can i hell :blink: you can see my site at http://www.bodykitsonline.co.uk/subaru any idea's on what code i can use to allow this to work in internet explorer. Thanks

Hi,
Just had another go at it but I still cannot seem to get it. No matter what I try it does not make any difference to the menu when I check the site.

Thanks

Ben harry - You have backgrounds defined using vendor prefixes and IE "filter" only:

Code:

---

#categories ul a {/*top categories*/
    display: list-item;
    /*list-style: disc inside url(../images/bullet1.gif);/*change to list-style: none; to remove bullet*/
    background: no-repeat;
    border: none;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorStr='#444444', EndColorStr='#999999');
background: -moz-linear-gradient(top,  #ccc,  #F0F0F0); /* for firefox 3.6+ */
background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, from(#ccc), to(#F0F0F0)); /* for webkit browsers */

---

I know nothing about correct IE filter syntax, but I would check to make sure that is correct. Meanwhile, all modern browsers (including IE10) support standard CSS gradient syntax without vendor prefixes, so I would look up the correct form for that and add it after all other gradient setting. You may be able to eliminate some or all vendor prefix versions here.

Code:

---

linear-gradient([ [ [ <angle> | to [top | bottom] || [left | right] ],]? <color-stop>[, <color-stop>]+);
background: linear-gradient(to top,  #ccc,  #F0F0F0);

Rainbow_pixie_star - I really need to see your site, or at least have a copy of all your relevant stylesheet/defines/etc., to be able to advise.

Hi,
My site is at craftjam.co.uk I have the design part correct such as colours, font sizing etc (I think). I want it to look like the image in the attachment below the code.

Here is the cat_dressing_defines

Thank you

Please ignore the image below where I put thank you. Not sure how I managed to add that? It is the first image that I need it to look like.

Thank you

The defines you show are only the default ones; but you actually have defines customized for categories 1, 3 and 4. Category 42 is already a catGroup header because it is the first category in the list, so I can't tell if you have a define for it. You obviously don't have custom header content defined for it.

What does your actual current define list look like?
