Thanks..

No, Categories Dressing is built on the standard categories sidebox, and would require major recoding to work on another version of the box.

You could take some of the code and adapt it to another version, as long as you understand the coding principles involved. Some versions will be more difficult, depending on how they are organized, and some may be easy.

HELP...

I just installed categories dressing mod on a live site and there's some type of image of CAT3SAMPLE in place of one of my categories AND a big pink LINK HEADER image between the specials section.

I only uploaded the files and have not modified ANYTHING at all yet.

PLEASE, let me know if there's an easy way to get rid of whatever these two big images are so I can get my site back to normal until I learn to SLOWLY modigy the necessary files with only MINOR changes that I can quickly undo if I mess up.

I wish there had been some type of warning in the install file that uploading this mod will automatically add two large images into categories.

Anyway, hoping for a response soon.

Using version 1.3.8 and here's a link to the site http://www.CraftMagick.com


Hope someone can help.

Thanks.

OK, I fixed the 'emergency' by:

1. Viewing the source code of my home page and then renaming the image that was appearing in place of one of the category name.

2. From the 'view source' I found the "Link Heading" reference and then did a search of the tpl_categories.php until I found the line to uncomment.

I still need to figure out the rest as far as colors, etc. go but now at least the site doesn't look ridiculous.

Just thought I'd post this in case anyone else ever runs into this same issue that is NOT php savvy (like yours truly

This will probably be a GREAT mod once I learn how to use it

The readme file does describe the example image files and settings and tells (in bold font) how to remove them, as well as details of how to do many other things.

You're right and I feel very embarrassed by my post. After I went back and re-read the install file it was there, plain as day

This was a very valuable learning experience for me --- ALWAYS thoroughly read ALL install text BEFORE ftp'ing to a live site!

And thank you again for your prompt and helpful responses to my frantic posts today. I really appreciate your time and help, gjh42.

How can I make the space between each Category Header and the Sub Category Name smaller? I just want to close that gap a little.

[gjh42]

I'm not sure what has caused that gap for you - it doesn't exist in my fresh install test site. The line-height: 14px; setting you made for body{} in your main stylesheet is the cause of the background not quite filling behind the letters of your headings.

Change/add this

margin-bottom: -0.7em;
line-height: 1.4em;

to bring the headings more into line:

.catBoxHeading1 { 
    font-family: 'times new roman', serif;
    font-weight: bold;
    font-size: 1.2em;
    color: #335511; 
    background-color: #00ccff;
    /*background-image: url(../images/catheadbg1.gif); */ /*uncomment to use background image with or without coded text*/
    /*height: 23px; */ /*uncomment to use background image without coded text*/
    display: block;
    padding: 0.0em 0.0em;
    margin-top: 0px;
    margin-bottom: -0.7em;
    line-height: 1.4em;
    }

Check in IE6 if you have it, as it may not correctly handle the negative margin-bottom even though it is valid CSS.

Question: Did you perhaps uncomment the alternate
$disp_block_head = '<br />';
in tpl_categories.php?

-Yes, you must have, as there is not supposed to be a <br /> after the headings in your view source output.

That would cause an extra line break after headings, which is what it looks like you have.

Ok yes I did... And your fix worked..

Now to Tinker...
