Categories Dressing

[newagekat]

Your case is actually very simple, and you don't need to mess with groups at all. Setting the top cats to be hidden in categories_dressing_defines.php means that you will want to move the entire remaining content of the box to the right-side position. You will also want to disable or hide the subcategory links on pages that are not subcat listings.

Hey Glenn:

Thanks so much for your help thus far. adding extra tabs is similar to adding sideboxes to the header - you just reference the FILENAME. I'll remember that.

Can I impose further? How do I make my vision come true? I've poured over your readme and the define lang file from your mod, I simply don't get it.

Here's what I envision:

• On the category index page, I want to hide the currently visible sub categories and position the side box next to some image. I want the side box to show all sub category levels. NOTE: i have layout Grid and column divider pro installed. So in Yarn, should show up like this:

By Brand
Be Sweet
Chuckanut Bay
Commonwealth Yarn
etc.

By Fibre
Cotton
Mohair
Wool
etc.

• I don't want the box showing on the sub category pages or product pages
• the sub categories currently visible below the DIV box in Yarn category page should be hidden. If I comment out the code from tpl_index_categories.php, sub category pages are affected.

My aim is to simplify the design, leave a lot of white space, but not sacrifice usability. it should be very intuitive. Any suggestions is much appreciated.

Thank again for your time.
