Text under catagory image

[mollea]

I have searched everywhere and can't seem to find this. At the link below, I would like to either eliminate or change the text under the catagory image. I just can't believe I can't find this. Can anyone help?

If you talking about the names under the images (Gas Fireplace, Wood Fireplace) that is the name of your category.

admin-> catalog-> categories/products->
on the line listing Gas Fireplaces click the green button with "e" inside (the edit button). Change the category name and click save.

Do the same thing for Wood Fireplaces.

This has more impact than simply changing the caption under the image. It changes the category name throughout your site, but will not break anything.

As ronlee67 pointed out, that's the name of the category. What do you want to do?

I just realized you said you might want to eliminate the text under the category image. Don't change the category name to a blank to accomplish that! That will break things!

If you want to remove the caption under the category images you can do that in the template but it will eliminate the captions under all category images in your site. If that's what you want to do let me know and I will find the spot in the template for you. Let me know the name of the custom template.

Thanks so much for the quick replies!

What I need to do is either change that font to make it 'jump out' more or get rid of it and do some PhotoShopping of the images. I have edited the catagory name, but I don't like how it changes in the sidebox display. Ron, thanks for letting me know it has to be done in the template. As far as letting you know the name of the custom template, I'm not sure I understand what you need. I have just stepped into this project, so I'm still trying to get all this figured out myself.

Your question about custom template leads me to make the following suggestion:

Learn about the template override system used in late versions of ZenCart and use that method. It will save you numerous headaches, especially in the future. "Using Overrides allows you to make and save changes to your cart without the fear of losing them when upgrades and patches are released."

Check these resources to learn about this:

Read first:
Understanding the Override System

Read next:
The Override System Really Simplified

An enormous amount of information is available on "how to do this...." or "how to do that ..." in the tutorials/FAQ area.

You can change this in your stylesheet (includes/templates/fireplaces/css/stylesheet.css).

Add this

.categoryListBoxContents a:link {
        font-size: 1.2em;
	color: #FF0000;
	}

.categoryListBoxContents a:hover {
        font-size: 1.2em;
	color: #000000;
	}

It'll make those links big and red. When the cursor is over it, the lettering will turn black. Adjust the size and color to your liking. It probably doesn't matter much where you put it. You can try somewhere around
/*The main content classes*/.

Thank you, Mary Ellen, for your help. I added what you suggested, and it worked fine, however, when I went back to do a little fine tuning, my complete CSS file is gone. Everything on the site seems to be working and looking fine, but the file is completly missing! Is that possible if the file is truely 'gone'? I'm certain I didn't delete it. I'm using 1and1 and have read some not so good things on here about them and have not had the best experience with them, but I'm not sure if thats it. Any ideas?

In your file structure what directories do you have listed here: /includes/templates/ ?
This will tell us if you are using a custom template. You should see template_default listed. There may be others..what are the names?
Knowing this will help us guide you regarding all of these questions.

The name of the custom template is in my post - /fireplaces

It seems unlikely that the file would just disappear, but anything's possible (hey, I had an entire hosting company disappear on me, so what's a file?). I always do my editing on my local drive and FTP the changes to the site, so I have an "instant backup" of everything.

If I do a "view source" on the page, I get the following stylesheets:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="includes/templates/fireplaces/css/style_imagehover.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="includes/templates/fireplaces/css/stylesheet.add.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="includes/templates/fireplaces/css/stylesheet.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="includes/templates/fireplaces/css/stylesheet_css_buttons.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="includes/templates/fireplaces/css/stylesheet_dotline.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="includes/templates/fireplaces/css/stylesheet_tablitev3_silver.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="print" href="includes/templates/fireplaces/css/print_stylesheet.css" />

I believe the stylesheet you edited is the one I highlighted in red.
