Categories Dressing

[uncharted]

can i install this mod on 1.5 or should i just wait for the new version?

[mbschwerin]

I am a little confused on how to make the changes to this MOD. Site is http://lesleyelizabeth.net

I have 5 Categories

Cocina Fiesta ID #4
Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Grape Seed Oil & Aged Balsamic Vingar ID#2
Subcategory Aged Balsamic Vinegar ID #5
Seasoned Oils and Dressings ID #1
Seasoning Blends & Sea Salts ID #3
Recipes ID #6

I would like to make them all look like the Seasoned Oils and Dressings category...it is surrounded by it's own bounding box.

I am just unsure of what exactly needs to be done to accomplish this. Plus some of my categories aren't showing, and one is linked to the Cat 3 Sample.

Any help would be appreciated.

Ok I figured out some of this, but I can't figure out why the Cat3 image is still there and 2 of my categories aren't.

What was unclear or hard to find in the readme?

There are numerous examples set by default to display the mod's functions; you will probably want to turn many of them off for your situation. See the appropriate readme section for adjusting each function.
'''
To display images in place of selected category names:
...
If you do not wish to use the image feature, delete any matching image files.

Your Aged Balsamic Vinegar subcategory will only show when its top cat is selected - this is standard Zen Cart behavior.
The SEASONING BLENDS & SEA SALTS: category text is currently replaced by the "Cat 3 Sample" image; delete that image from /includes/templates/your_template/images/ to get the text back.

I expected that from the subcategories...it was the one hidden by the image I couldn't figure out where the code was to get rid of it, so THANK YOU for that info...

Hopefully the Recipes cat will show up when I get rid of the image as well?

FYI that image is in the buttons folder not images folder. Got that category back but my last category Recipes is not showing...any ideas? The line is exactly the same as the other categories in the categories_dressing_defines.php file.

[gjh42]

Oops right, /buttons/english/.

Can you post the exact defines you have? Maybe I can see something in them.

[mbschwerin]

//example defines - copy & modify for each category desired
define ('CAT_BOX_HEADING_#','group|divider/class|[imgname]|[imgalt][|headcontent|headclass][|headcontent|headclass]...');
define ('CAT_BOX_HEADING_4','1|0||');
define ('CAT_BOX_HEADING_2','1|0||');
define ('CAT_BOX_HEADING_1','1|0||');
define ('CAT_BOX_HEADING_3','1|0||');
define ('CAT_BOX_HEADING_6','1|0||');
//define ('CAT_BOX_HEADING_52','0|1||');//divider only - style 1
//define ('CAT_BOX_HEADING_53','0|2||');//divider only - style 2
//define ('CAT_BOX_HEADING_FEATURED','0|0|||Featured Heading|3');//no list break - text heading
//define ('CAT_BOX_SUBTEXT_23','Subtext for cat 23 escape apostrophe\'s|1');//subtext - style 1

Are you certain the Recipes category is enabled in admin? Catalog > Categories/Products > red/green dot. What type of product are the recipes? If they are restricted to Document-Product, they will not appear in the categories menu if you have set Configuration > Layout Settings > Split Categories Box to true.

[mbschwerin]

They are set to be documents only, since they will just be recipes using the products. Recipes showes up in the navigation that appears at the top of the page that I have disabled.

I will check the setting you mentioned and see what that is set to.
