Categories Dressing

How to remove the default 'Link Heading' from the categories sidebox?

The readme describes this. If you have the latest version, it is an html file for easier reading.

Just add a comment mark // in front of the line mentioned, in tpl_categories.php.

Hi Glenn,

First of all thanks for the files and specially for the help you offer here in the forum.

I have tried other categories addons and this is the one that works best for me, but I'm trying to make it show the first level subcategories constantly.
The problem is that so far I have only TWO big categories and the important thing is the subcats (but I only want to show those first level subcats and not the deeper level ones). Is there a way to do this with Categories Dressing??

Thanks in advance!

Categories Dressing does not deal with which categories are displayed. It is easy to add code to it to hide specific categories or subcat levels, but it is not able to show cats that would not normally appear.
For that, you need one of the expanded categories mods, like fragfutter's Uncollapsed Categories Tree (hosted on his site; link in the forum thread for it.)
This or any expanded cats mod will probably not work with Cat Dressing, because both need to modify the same file. It may be possible to merge the custom elements - I haven't tried this.

thanks for the reply.

I tried fragfutter's Uncollapsed Categories Tree but it's not that good because uses the whole category tree instead of just the first level subcategories.

And I'm not familiar enough with the code to try to merge both right now.
I'll try to find another solution, but thanks anyway, man :)

cheers

Once you have the whole category tree, restricting it to a particular level of subcats is easy. I have posted about it more than once. And if the subcat restriction is the only custom function you need, you don't need to merge with Cat Dressing.

Can someone help me please ? Thanks!

Those headings are not related to Categories Dressing, but you can set left & right BoxHeadings in your stylesheet. Find

h3.leftBoxHeading, h3.leftBoxHeading a,
h3.rightBoxHeading, h3.rightBoxHeading a {
	font-size: 1em;
	color: #ffffff;
	}

and replace with

h3.leftBoxHeading, 
h3.rightBoxHeading, h3.rightBoxHeading label {
	font-size: 1.2em;}
	}
h3.leftBoxHeading, h3.leftBoxHeading a,
h3.rightBoxHeading, h3.rightBoxHeading a {
	color: #ffffff;
	}

So here is a behavoir that I'm confused about.

When I replace a category with an image/hover image if I roll off the button before the target page has loaded, IE essentially cancels the click. Anyone ever seen this?

Is this an IE problem or a Cat dressing issue?

[gjh42]

I haven't seen it, but I don't use IE any more than necessary. My guess would be that it is a function of how IE handles CSS. It is only a Cat Dressing issue insofar as Cat Dressing uses a CSS hover.
