CSS to Control Header

[ideasgirl]

I have given the url in PM to several people (even DrByte). It works in the first subcategory, but it changes to the main one when you go farther. It was working perfectly on 1.3.0.2 not on 1.3.5.

I will do something on the testing site for people to see. I'll keep you posted.

Oooook, here's the proof:

Go to TEST SITE and click on "Hardware", you will see the header will change, but when you click on any of the subcategories or products in that category, the header will return to the main header. You can try also "Software" and "DVD Movies" with additional headers. Same problem.

OH Wow - you know what - I apologize - it is behaving that way for me too, on your site and on one that I just tweeked again...

Interesting, please do keep at least me posted !

Thanks!

Apology accepted....

NOW! Who wants to track this little guy down???

This is from the "what's new" document from v1.3.5 concerning stylesheets:

CSS-per-page coding changes may affect your stylesheet naming conventions. The naming for category pages now properly uses cPath, like: c_3_10.css, c_31_52_88.css, etc.

I'm guessing that it means you need to specify the complete $cpath for each category/subcategory combination.

For your hardware page

c_1.css would be for your top category.

c_1_17.css would be the first subcategory in that top category.

I'll play around with this a while and see if I can work out something.

In the mean time maybe DrByte can come up with something.

Yes, I've tried that before; but isn't that crazy? if you have 20 categories/subcategories that means 20 additional css + the main + IH + Printer + News + Tabbed +++++ you can end up with 30 css, that's not good from what I've heard.

So we are going backwards here. >>sigh<<

You're right, it does seem to be taking steps backward.

But, these stylesheets are only picked up when a particular page needs them otherwise they don't show up like the main stylesheet(s)

So you could technically have all those c_??_??.css files on your server but they'd only get called as needed.

In any case, maybe DrByte can come up with something.
