Categories Dressing

[Lanadearg]

You do not have stylesheet_categories_dressing.css saved in the right folder. I don't know where it is, but it needs to be in
/includes/templates/classic/css/stylesheet_categories_dressing.css.

You also should read and follow the tutorials on making a custom template; the /classic/ folder is intended as an example, not as the template folder you should use.

You are right, the folder stylesheet_categories_dressing.css vas saved in /includes/templates/template_default/css/stylesheet_categories_dressing.css.
Thank you very much, I did it!
Can you tell me in what folder I can correct “All items”? I tried cod

#category-links {
margin:0 0 0 0;
}

in the folders stylesheet.css and in stylesheet_categories_dressing.css.
-not responding.

Thank you for your help!

That is a class, not an id, so you need to use it like this:

.category-links {
margin:0 0 0 0;
}

Also find in your stylesheet and change the items in pink to the values shown in green:

#categories ul {/*top category lists*/
    list-style: none;
    background: none;
    border: 1px solid #ffaa99 none;
    margin: 0 0 0.4em -2em 0;
    padding: 0;
    }

Yes, it works! Thanks, you're a genius!

Glen with your help I have this module doing exactly what I want it to. This is a great contribution to Zen Cart.

The only issue I have is regarding to the layout display, if you are using subcategories. That is when you click on a main category, then the center column also displays this same list of your sub categories list in this menu (of course you can add an image to the center if you would like). This is creating duplicate lists side by side. You can see an example here: http://www.lasilhouettelingerie.com/...by-price-c-82/ This same scenario is repeated for any top category in this menu to the left.

Is it possible to make the top categories only, open to show subcategories; instead of going to the top category page when clicked? (that will then have duplicate lists). Another words clicking the top category link would only open the list (and not direct the page to the actual link).

Is it possible to have a Category Dressing Title be made into a link that can point to and ezpage or contact us page?

For example : define ('CAT_BOX_HEADING_108_130','1|0|||Text Here Would be a Link|1|');

I suppose I should rephrase this and simply what I am asking. I am using the Collapseable Categories Tree. I would like it so, when the main category is clicked the tree expands which exposes all the sub-categories. I do like having the text link showing. But I don't want the category link to direct to the category page (URL), the page stays the same. Basically for the main categories only, I want to use these links as category tree expanders and not direct to the category page URL itself.

As for the sub-categories they stay the same. I do have arrow images attached that change when the main category URL is clicked. I would like these to still work properly like they are now. In that the sub-category URL's continue to direct to the corresponding sub-category. I have been scanning the docs and some of this forum, but have not found an answer yet.

I was thinking I could just find the URL code for the main categories, and just remove the cpath. Thereby breaking the link. But I am not sure where to find this, and I don't know if this is the best way to go.

Ray: Yes, you can make the "heading" a link. Just put the HTML for it in the define, like this:

define ('CAT_BOX_HEADING_108_130','1|0|||<a href="index.php?main_page=page&id=23">EZ-Page 23 Link</a>|1|');

Be sure you don't use any unescaped single quotes. ( \' not ' )


Sports_guy: Unlinking the top categories in the sidebox will require a test and conditional edit either in categories_dressing_functions.php or tpl_categories.php. It shouldn't be too hard; I'll look into it in the next day or so.

Thank you for looking into this Glen! And after looking though about 40 pages of this post this morning, I would never ask for this category tree to be two way (open and close sub-category tree based upon master-category click and unclick). and I will be happy! As you can see I am using this to just open the master category tree (like a javascript action would do).
