Categories Dressing

[gjh42]

You need to install the whole mod (except for stylesheet_categories_dressing.css in your case), because the other files give unique class names to elements and stylesheet_chcategories_dressing.css can't affect elements without those classes. You can disable or not use any features you don't need.

"Magnets" is

Magnets-> (1) [top category]
→ Inspire Magnets
→ Faces of Faith Magnets (1) [subcat]

The Faces of Faith / Magnets wraps due to length and looks like two categories.

[Inspire]

I have installed the files, including the Uncollapsed Categores Tree files, as directed in v2.7.3 Readme. In the Installation directions, it says to: "Activate the chcategories sidebox as described in readme_ch_categories.txt." Is this is a separate readme file as I am not seeing it in the files I downloaded with Categories Dressing?

[gjh42]

Sorry, that file was left out of the v2.7.3 package. It has no real information that the main readme lacks; just go to Tools > Sidebox Controller and turn on chcategories in the desired location.

thanks gjh42...that missing piece of information ...to turn on ch_categories in Admin > Tools > Layout Boxes Controller ....was pretty important.

Another point of clarification on the stylesheets. Readme says under Installation if using Uncollapsed Categories Tree to "Rename the main package's stylesheet to stylesheet_categories.css.bak" but under Using Stylesheets it says to "replace #categories with #chcategories in all examples." Do I need both stylesheets?

I answered my own question about the stylesheets. They are the same except for a few added styles for the UL and UL A and UL UL.

Hi Glenn,

The indentation in my categories box is LARGE and causes the categories to go out the right side of the box.

I have installed the Categories Dressings Mod (version 2.7.3 from the Zen Cart site).

I installed both parts: Categories Dressings and Uncollapsed Categories Tree.

I disabled the old Categories box and enabled the new one (in Layout Boxes Controller).

I went into Configuration> Layout Settings and made the following 2 items blank (nothing there):
"Categories Separator between the Category Name and Sub Categories" and "Categories SubCategories Indent"

I am very new (one month) to all of the folders/files/code/css/etc. (customization).

Could you please tell me how I would go about fixing the indents - so all of the bullets start further to the left? I read somewhere about negative margins!?!? - not sure if that applies or how/where I would do that.

Thanks a BUNCH!!!

Somehow your stylesheet_chcategories_dressing.css is not being applied at all. The file is in the right place, but is apparently being ignored. I will have to come back later to investigate what might be happening with it.

Thanks so much. I am VERY new to all this and have been doing Google searches and forum searches and can't figure it out.

I have made changes that didn't work and then changed them back again.

Thanks!!!

It is a template problem. Your template eliminates the standard unique div id for each sidebox, and just names them all .leftBoxContainer so they can't be distinguished. This is a serious flaw, and you should ask the template author to fix it.

Meanwhile, you can work around it by changing all instances of #chcategories to #chcategoriesContent .
