Categories Dressing

Thank you - I knew it was something simple!
Mona

I have installed this mod and followed the instructions.

I am trying to put simple bullets on each category and sub category level.

I am a little confused by the instructions though as they just say:



Add to your stylesheet:
a.category-top-text .category-not-selected, a.category-top-text .category-subs-selected, #categories a.category-links {
display: list-item;
list-style: disc inside url(../images/bullet1.gif);
}


To change the bullet when a category is open to subs, add to your stylesheet:

a.category-top-text .category-subs-parent {
display: list-item;
list-style: square inside url(../images/bullet2.gif);
}


"Add to your stylesheet"

Where? do I add this to the stylesheet?

Is it an appendage to some other code?

Is it a new line?

At the top?

At the bottom?

I know nothing whatsoever about php/css etc so I am just following the instructions, but with little success.

Thank you in advance anyone.

Thanks, extaclty what i needed but I have one problem.... I changed the stylesheet and everything works perfect but when I eventually want to change the 'Heading 1' to another heading... nothing happens!:huh:

It stays with 'Link Heading' in my category box...

The CSS rules you mention are already in the stylesheet_categories_dressing.css file included in the mod folder. All you need to do is, in some cases, remove the comment marks /* */ from around the rule. Be sure to remove them in pairs as shown; anything else will cause trouble. Some of the rules are already active and need nothing done.

Anything to be added to your stylesheet can usually be put at the end of the file, or else just below related rules. If the exact location matters, I will say so, as will most mod writers. Just don't put a new rule in the middle of another one.

And to get up to speed quickly on the basics of how PHP and CSS work, you can go to www.w3schools.com. They have comprehensive tutorials starting from the beginning.

The "Heading 1" and "Link Heading" are coded in different places in tpl_categories.php. You need to change the right section. If you want the Link Heading to go away, add comment marks // in front of the appropriate line as described in the readme.

Hello :-)

I could do with some help please.

I have set up this mod, but would like to do the following.

When top category is selected, the sub category bullet changes.

I would like this to happen with the sub category and the sub sub category.

So that the arrow is pointing to ONLY the category or sub category the browser is looking in.

I do not know enough about css to write that, so could somebody please help me.

I would also like to get rid of the item number (30) (3) etc (or at least have it on the same line, but will wander the boards for an answer to that one...

Thank you,

Mark

Have figured out the number thing.

Line spacing also done.

Just need help with setting up the bullets as above.

Mark

I need alot of help. Can't get the number thing. And tere's a image over one of my categories I can't get rid of. There's also a heading one That apperared out of no where I can't get rid of. Also My Sub Menu's I know How to style but I can't get them in a list not side by side in the example. HELP!!!!!!

All of your questions but the last are explicitly answered in the readme.html that came with the download.
The numbers are controlled in Configuration > My Store > Show Category Counts.
For subcategories, it sounds like you may have lost one of the display: block; properties in stylesheet_categories_dressing.css.
Post a link to your site so I can tell for sure.

Can anyone help with the code for the bullets please?

As post above.
