Categories Dressing

I like that expression, a sledgehammer to break a nut :-)

I've tried what you suggest by simply copying and pasting the code you supplied in the stylesheet_categories_dressing.css file (I pasted ALL 4 blocks of code). Nothing, nada, nichts.

I even tried to paste the code into my main stylesheet.css file just to see what happened (nothing)

It's really weird it's as if the stylesheet is having no effect whatsover on the categories dressing sidebox.

ahhhhhh... do you think maybe the stylesheet is having ZERO control over the categories dressing because I'm using it with ch_categories mod combined?

UPDATE: That's exactly what's happening. When I switch on the original categories sidebox and replace the expanded categories sidebox, then the stylesheet does exactly what it's supposed to.

Is there a way to point the stylesheet at the expanded categories sidebox instead of the original categories sidebox?

glenn hi

back on post #75 you explain how to hide a categorie but i need to hide 3 categories and i cant figure out :(

anybody??

thank you

Limelites -
Unfortunately, the Cat Dressing stylesheet will do nothing for the expanded categories sidebox, because most of the tags are different, and there are elements in each mod that do not exist in the other one. I am thinking about how to combine Cat Dressing with the Simple Categories Tree mod, but don't expect it any time soon.
V2.0 may be easier to get this functionality from. (SCT can definitely do it, but I'm not sure how much of it will transfer to v2.0.)

Just repeat the test for the other two cPaths:

PHP Code:

---

    if (($box_categories_array[$i]['path'] == 'cPath=23') or ($box_categories_array[$i]['path'] == 'cPath=42') or ($box_categories_array[$i]['path'] == 'cPath=57') or zen_get_product_types_to_category($box_categories_array[$i]['path']) == 3 or ($box_categories_array[$i]['top'] != 'true' and SHOW_CATEGORIES_SUBCATEGORIES_ALWAYS != 1)) {
      // skip if this is for the document box (==3), or category 23, 42, 57
    } else {

If using Cat Dressing, you can replace
($box_categories_array[$i]['path'] == 'cPath=23')
with
($current_path == '23')

Replace the 23 with the correct cPath for your category so it reads (say) 'cPath=4_37'.

Hi Glen,

Fortunately, catimg1.gif, catimg2.gif, catimg.26.gif, etc., etc., are still recognised by the expanded categories mod. This was my workaround.... basically uploaded bold font gifs to my buttons folder.

hi

i try that but im only see my header nothing else i have this
in my test site

}
$current_path = str_replace("cPath=","",$box_categories_array[$i]['path']);
if (($current_path == '31') or zen_get_product_types_to_category($box_categories_array[$i]['path']) == 3 or ($box_categories_array[$i]['top'] != 'true' and SHOW_CATEGORIES_SUBCATEGORIES_ALWAYS != 1)) {
// skip if this is for the document box (==3), or category 23, 42, 57
} else {
if (($current_path == '101') or zen_get_product_types_to_category($box_categories_array[$i]['path']) == 3 or ($box_categories_array[$i]['top'] != 'true' and SHOW_CATEGORIES_SUBCATEGORIES_ALWAYS != 1)) {
// skip if this is for the document box (==3), or category 23, 42, 57
} else {
// categories dressing - add divider above specified cats
if(in_array($current_path, explode(",",'3,22,21_56'))) { //replace numbers with your cat ids separated by commas
$content .= '<hr class="catBoxDivider" />' . "\n";
}

}

thanks

I down loaded the Categories Dressing, there was no readme files or instructions, all was there are an includes folder. Did I download the wrong file. my site www. currysgiftshop.com

Where did you download it from? I just checked to be sure, and the readme is in the zip that downloads from Free Addons: readme2_6.html.
