how would I make the categories expand?

I have heard good reports about fragfutter's Uncollapsed Categories Tree mod. Search the forum for the thread with the link to his site.

Ok, so this is the Expanded Categories List mod. Question is, could it coexist with the Categories Dressing mod?

[gjh42]

Limelites and I have just made the discovery that fragfutter's Uncollapsed Categories Tree is completely compatible with Categories Dressing, with one small tweak to the stylesheet (change all #categories selectors to #chcategories). I will be releasing a new version of Cat Dressing which optionally bundles the two mods, or you can download them separately now and make the tweak yourself (it's really very easy).

Hmm, installed both, as soon as I change all instances of #categories to #chcategories, all my pretty default images for bullets get swapped for the regular o's and it's still not uncollapsed.

See images (I uncollapsed the first cat manually in those examples to show the change in bullets.)

Bump? Anybody out there?

Hmm, I thought I had replied to your previous post. Maybe it was late at night and I missed actually posting the reply.
Did you turn on the chcategories sidebox in Tools > Layout Boxes Controller?

[dimmyr]

I did turn ch_categories on. Now they are both showing up, the "dressed" one and the ch_cat. The ch_cat looks atrocious with its superhuge indents and plain bullets0

Can you give a link to see what your site is doing? It sounds like the mod stylesheet is not being applied where you want it, but I can't say more without seeing it.

The stylesheet_categories_dressing.css that is active in your template does not have the chcategories modifications, so that is why it is not working.

You need to change all
#categories
to
#chcategories
in that file.

Figured out what my problem was. I initially changed #categories
to #chcategories, but was expecting the changes to be made to the "Categories box", not the "Categories_List" box, which I didn't even have enabled at the time. By the time I had it re-enabled, I had gone back to #categories.

I think you need to make it more clear as to which box needs to be enabled. :)
