Hello,
CASE:
Long category names - up to 35 characters. In order to display them in one line, the sidebox needs to be resized up to 250px, which takes a lot of space.

THE IDEA: To display "shortcut" names in the category side box, while displaying full names in the category headings.
Example: "real" category name: Archival and Conservation Materials; Shortcut for side box would be: "Archival Materials"

BRAINSTORM: For this, I believe, I will need an extra field in category table. Since the category_name is associated in multiple files, I think it would be easier to populate category_name field with the "shortcut names," while creating another field, i.e. category_longname, and populate that one with the "real names."

QUESTIONS:
Is there a sort of navigation chart to the zen cart file maze?
Could someone please point me to the files that work to display categories in side box and files that display the headings in center columns. I'm not sure if I was able to identify all of them.
If there is already solution for this, please let me know where can I find it.
If some of you have better idea how to do it, please let me know.
Thanks,
