Two Page Layout Questions

[BillySnake13]

HI,

I have searched for the answer to the following two questions quite a bit, but I haven't been able to get an answer.

The site I am working on is: www.hidkitscheap.com

My first problem is with Category margins or spacing. As you can see there is a lot of "white space" between each of the categories on the main page. I would like to reduce that amount of spacing to be about 1/10 of what it is now.

My second layout question has to do with category content and and subcategory selections. Basically I want the subcategory images to show up BEFORE the text for the subcategory. Is something like that possible?

Thanks

looks like you copied and pasted your content from a MS word document.
You've got all those MS word specific styles that you should get rid of.

Well, I did that after the fact to see if that would work. But I have done it both ways.

You have your category listing set to display 5 per row, so you will get the whitespace. Set to a larger number to pack them tighter.
Configuration > Maximum Values > Categories To List Per Row.

Anyone know about the second item on the list?

bump for some help for item number 2

You should be able to rearrange code sections in /includes/templates/your_template/templates/tpl_index_categories.php. Find this

<?php
// categories_description
    if ($current_categories_description != '') {
?>
<div id="categoryDescription" class="catDescContent"><?php echo $current_categories_description;  ?></div>
<?php } // categories_description ?>

and move it to just below

<!-- EOF: Display grid of available sub-categories -->

You guys rock. Gjh42 thanks!!!

[BillySnake13]

Does anyone know how to do it for subcategories as well?

[gjh42]

Not sure I understand what you want. The instructions given will work on any category/subcategory listing.
