Categories Dressing

[gjh42]

Limelites -
There are limits to the ways that category groups can move and still remain dynamic (opening to show subcategories). Any but the most straightforward of these require CSS experience and knowledge to apply correctly.

To get the Size group to appear below the all/featured/new links, you will have to use relative or absolute positioning. Position: absolute; may be the best route. If the designers box will vary in size, that cannot be accounted for in the positioning. You would either have to leave a gap for the designers box to open into or run the risk of the two boxes overlapping. I will first describe a method that will put the sizes above the designers. With a little extra work, it may be possible to have the sizes fit correctly below the designers, depending on your conditions.

Give the size categories sort orders in admin that are higher than any other categories, so they appear just above the links. Give the UK 3 category a heading of "Sizes" and a "new group" flag, in the defines.

Now style that group id with
position: absolute;
bottom: -25.0em;

and add
#categories {margin-bottom: 15.0em;}

The links will move neatly up into the space the sizes used to occupy, and there will be a space held open below the categories box. The sizes group will show with its heading below the categories box, approximately in the space held open. You will need to adjust these numbers to make the parts fit correctly. Start on this, and post back when you have a group defined; I can't test anything for you without that group.


Raimond, I don't really get how the code you posted could work to give the results you asked for, but if you are happy, so am I :)
