Current Category Color

[davidc304]

I tried a search, didnt find exactly what i need.....

I want the currently selected category to be a specific color... My categories will be deep, i feel this will be necessary to have, just to know where you are right now......

IE: You click a category, and it changes to a specific color, NOT the hover over, or visited color... You click another main category, the old one goes back to blue, and the currently select changes...... Sounds easy, im sure it is to you guys, lol.....

My visited links are the same as normal in color, so they are always blue... i think visited link colors should stay in the 1990's, no offence for those who still use them. lol.

And even if i enabled "visited link" color to something else, that still dosent tell you where you are if you have been through the site much, just where you have been....

This is how the Classic template does this:

SPAN.category-subs-parent {
	font-weight: bold;
	}
SPAN.category-subs-selected {
	font-weight: bold;
	}

You can set color the same way.

Ok, ive use the above code to enable the function i want. and it works but only if there are subcategories, which is fine....

but, i want to expand this up to the "EzPages" listing. They will not have subcategories.... What can i do to enable this for the expages with no subcats? thanks

EZ-Pages are a completely separate feature, and have no provision for this function built into the code. It would likely take some serious PHP coding to do this.

Well, im no serious PHP coder.... lol Maybe theres another way, it just dosent seem that complicated, but im sure it is.... i mean if theres a "visted link color"

and BTW, your site is awesome GJH42. I really like the stuff you have on there. You make that stuff? wow

You could certainly add a visited link color for ez-pages links, but it wouldn't be able to tell you where you are currently.

And thanks - yep, all made in America by the three of us :)
