Categories Dressing

[miriam_t]

I just tried to use CategoriesDressing 2.6 for those nested ul / li constructs i would prefer. But i do not get a nested list with my top and sub categories. The top-category ends with /li and the sub-categories under it are a separated ul. It should be:

<ul>
  <li> Top Category1</li>
  <li> Top Category2 
     <ul>
        <li>Sub Category</li>
     </ul>
  </li>
</ul> 

How can I get this nested list?

What I currently get is this:

<ul>
   <li> Top Category1</li>
   <li> Top Category2 </li>
      <ul>
         <li>Sub Category</li>
      </ul>
 </ul>

I am currently testing the revised code to make the lists nest correctly. The updated version should be ready for public testing in a few days.

Glenn - Thank you so much! That is a great message. I will wait for that.

Is there a version I could contribute to? One where you started from?

Hi Glenn

I'm on v1.3.8, site is www.tessellatedesign.com

I installed the categories dressing mod (all files in custom folders) and it's all fine except I cannot get rid of the bullet points before the category links.

I've put list-style: none; everywhere I should have (I've checked and double checked this).

I've commented out the code for using other bullets.

The only change that happens is when I comment out this section:
/*disable bullet for cats w/ image or bg image*/
#categories li a.cat-parent, #categories li a.cat-selected, #categories li a.cat-not-selected {
list-style: none;
display: block;/*fix IE6 margin-left bug*/
}

when I do that the bullets move from the far left of the sidebox to the left of the image links...which is where I've left it.

Today I started afresh with the clean stylesheet_categories_dressing.php, put list-style: none; in all of the places indicated and the buggers won't go. ...I have a feeling it's something very simple to rectify this but I'm now so zenned out I'm almost cross eyed!

and thank you for a great mod, other than my never disappearing bullets it's great...!

OK I have installed categories dressing with no problems EXCEPT now in my categories list I have "Major Heading" and "Minor Heading" within the list and I can't for the life of me figure out how to remove this text. I've done many searches and still can't find an answer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.


my site is Chrissie's Custom Creations

On the left hand side you see my list of categories where I am having the problem.

TIA for any help

Duh, I figured it out! I'm sorry

Hi Glenn

No, you didn't ;-) When I put it in your stylesheet at the part for the definition of the sidebox:

stylesheet.css (Linie 604)
.sideBoxContent {
line-height:1.8em;
list-style-image:none;
list-style-position:outside;
list-style-type:none;
text-align:center;}

the list-bullets are gone.

I've commented out the code for using other bullets.
The only change that happens is when I comment out this section:
/*disable bullet for cats w/ image or bg image*/
#categories li a.cat-parent, #categories li a.cat-selected, #categories li a.cat-not-selected {
list-style: none;
display: block;/*fix IE6 margin-left bug*/
}

And here you are: list-style: none for the div which is holding the categories. If you leave this they should be gone too, but your categories are named li class="cat-top". You can apply that class additionally to the definition above like #categories li.cat-top and should get the same result.

What I am wondering is: where is gone your <ul> ? You have only <li> around the cat-image, without <ul>, which should be there if you didn't change the tpl_categories.php.

By the way: do you use Firefox with the firebug extension? That is helpful and useful to find those little tweaks quickly.

all sorted, thanks for the help Glenn (and for the tip on Firebug)...and I'll check on the missing <ul>

cheers!

Thanks for your assistance, Miriam. I've been away for a couple of days and had no time to look in here.

The v2.7.1 revision for correctly nested lists, and some additional active/level controls, is ready for public beta testing. Please try it and let me know if you find any problems. If I don't hear of anything in a couple of days, I'll submit the update to Free Addons.

I just installed the Mod (2.6) and I have problems with long category names which do not fit in one line. The problem is that the second line starts just underneath the bullet and not under the first line text.... any hints on what to change that text is lined up correctly
