Categories Dressing

[first trading]

Wonder if you can help Glen, what numbers would i have to put in here to display all top categories and all sub categories all of the time on every page.

includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/classic/categories_dressing_defines.php

define('CAT_BOX_ACTIVE_LEVEL', '0|0|9');

I dont seem to be able to get this to work. Any help is appreciated.

I feel like a prat, just noticed the mod has a seperate sidebox you have to turn on..............what can i say i'm an idiot.

FenG - You need to give each category a different sort order to be sure they will line up the way you want. Then you need to apply the heading define to the category number that is at the top of the desired section. If you want to add a new category to the section above the current first one, you need to transfer the define to that number.


first trading - Glad you noticed the mention of the chcategories sidebox in the readme.

I know I've posted this info somewhere recently, but can't find it now. Here it is again for easy reference:

To make a heading clickable, or to include a non-category link in the categories sidebox, add the HTML for the link to the heading define in categories_dressing_defines.php. For example:

define ('CAT_BOX_HEADING_33_35','0|0|||<a href="yourdestination">Linked Heading</a>|3');//link in text heading - style 3 

This can also be done in a subtext define, to put the link directly below the specified category.

Hi,

LINK

I want to either have the three headings (categories) Design, Print, Web as different colour links or have all the design catagories in one colour and all hte print in another etc.

How can I do this? I have installed the dressing mod.

Thanks

Do you want the three main categories to be actual categories? They are not truly organizational tops as is, just blank category names. You can easily make headings belonging to the first real category in the group, and give each of them a separate class identifier in the define so they can have different styling.

Define the headings to start new groups, and you can use the group id to style each group differently as well. These processes are described in the readme.

If you want the headings to link to information pages, you can include the link code in the heading text as described directly above.

Define the headings to start new groups,

I've read through the readme and i just don't get it.
(The heading defines take this form: - is the right section?)

How would I change the category 'DESIGN' to a heading? What do I put where?

Thanks

If you want "Business Card Design" (category 107) to be the first category in that group, try

define ('CAT_BOX_HEADING_107','1|0|||DESIGN|1|');

Then style

.catBoxHeading1 {

as you want that heading to appear.

Do the same for the other groups, using 2 and 3 for the last parameter in the defines.

You would delete the category DESIGN and the other "heading" categories.

Hi, Ive uploaded this add-on to our test site today. Its working well thanks!

I just have one question; the currently selected category indents to the left. Id like to indent it to the right, but I cant find it in the CSS.

I know the text is 'cat-selected-text' - but what property should i adjust in the style-sheet to affect its amount of indentation?

Thanks,

Scott.

Do you want right indent as well as left, or instead of it? You can add a margin-right: 1.5em; or whatever to the rule with .cat-selected-text. For more guidance, a link to see what you have will help.
