Add Home link to category listing

[Outlawlb]

I actually have that CSS Menu thing installed, so this after adding that I added

$content .= '<ul class="level1"><li><a href="' . HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . '">' . HEADER_TITLE_CATALOG . '</a></li></ul>';


above


$content .= $menulist; // see the modules/sideboxes/YOURTEMPLATE/categories_css.php for this


in modules/sideboxes/YOURTEMPLATE/categories_css.php for this

Yes, it can be done as follows:

in includes/templates/template_default/sideboxes
Open tpl_categories.php and find the following line of code:

for ($i=0;$i<sizeof($box_categories_array);$i++) { 

JUST ABOVE this line add the following:

$content .= '<a href="' . HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . '">'  . HEADER_TITLE_CATALOG . '</a>'; 

Save the edited file to includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/sideboxes/tpl_categories.php and upload to your server.

I would like to be able to do the same, but for some unknown reason the section you mentioned to search for

[FONT=Courier New]for ($i=0;$i<sizeof($box_categories_array);$i++) { [/FONT]

is NOT in my includes/templates/template_default/sideboxes/ tpl_categories.php file.

Any help, LOL.

Thanks much in advance.

This is the beginning of the file in question.

  $content = "";
  
  $content .= '<div id="' . str_replace('_', '-', $box_id . 'Content') . '" class="sideBoxContent">' . "\n";
 [COLOR="Red"] for ($i=0;$i<sizeof($box_categories_array);$i++) {[/COLOR]
    switch(true) {

The highlighted portion is the line of code you need to find.

If your category sidebox is functioning correctly that line of code should be there. If not I'd suggest you upload a clean copy of this file.

Hi clydejones,

Thanks for the info. Line was found.

Sheesh I can not count on EditPlus2 to do searchs for me anymore .

I use Edit Plus2 for everything involving code and this is the FIRST Time it has ever not found code for me.

Sorry for the post. Guess I will manually have to start searching for things, LOL.
