Call me stupid but could anyone please explain how to change subcat name to image.

define ('CAT_BOX_HEADING_1_5','1|0|image1.jpg|Some tekst|text |3');

this doesn't work at all

What i want is to show on subcategory 1_5 that is called CAR, the image of a CAR, instead of text CAR.

Tnx

That is not handled by the defines; if you save an image named catimg1_5.gif in
/includes/templates/your_template/buttons/english/, it will be detected and used in place of the text.

Thank you very much

Limelites -
I just noticed your posts 758/759 and the issue you reported. I had noticed the bullet issue when looking at something else.

It turns out that your modifications put the entire categories content inside the #catLinks <ul>, so items were a level deeper than they should be and some styling changed because of this.
You have

  if (SHOW_CATEGORIES_BOX_SPECIALS == 'true' or SHOW_CATEGORIES_BOX_PRODUCTS_NEW == 'true' or SHOW_CATEGORIES_BOX_FEATURED_PRODUCTS == 'true' or SHOW_CATEGORIES_BOX_PRODUCTS_ALL == 'true') {
    $content .= '</ul>';
  } 

at the end of tpl_categories.php, but you should have moved that up along with the rest of the links code.

  $content = "";
  $prev_cat_depth = -1;
  $content .= '<div id="' . str_replace('_', '-', $box_id . 'Content') . '" class="sideBoxContent">' . "\n";
  
  // display a separator between categories and links
    $content .= '<ul class="catLinks">';
    if (SHOW_CATEGORIES_BOX_SPECIALS == 'true') {
      $cat_box_link_head = cat_box_heading('SPECIALS');
      $content .= $cat_box_link_head[1];
      $show_this = $db->Execute("select s.products_id from " . TABLE_SPECIALS . " s where s.status= 1 limit 1");
      if ($show_this->RecordCount() > 0) {
        $content .= '<li><a class="category-links" href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_SPECIALS) . '">' . CATEGORIES_BOX_HEADING_SPECIALS . '</a>' . '</li>' . "\n";
      }
    }
    if (SHOW_CATEGORIES_BOX_PRODUCTS_NEW == 'true') {
      // display limits
//      $display_limit = zen_get_products_new_timelimit();
      $display_limit = zen_get_new_date_range();

      $show_this = $db->Execute("select p.products_id
                                 from " . TABLE_PRODUCTS . " p
                                 where p.products_status = 1 " . $display_limit . " limit 1");
      if ($show_this->RecordCount() > 0) {
        $cat_box_link_head = cat_box_heading('NEW');
        $content .= $cat_box_link_head[1];
        $content .= '<li><a class="category-links" href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCTS_NEW) . '">' . CATEGORIES_BOX_HEADING_WHATS_NEW . '</a>' . '</li>' . "\n";
      }
    }
    if (SHOW_CATEGORIES_BOX_FEATURED_PRODUCTS == 'true') {
      $show_this = $db->Execute("select products_id from " . TABLE_FEATURED . " where status= 1 limit 1");
      if ($show_this->RecordCount() > 0) {
        $cat_box_link_head = cat_box_heading('FEATURED');
        $content .= $cat_box_link_head[1];
        $content .= '<li><a class="category-links" href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_FEATURED_PRODUCTS) . '">' . CATEGORIES_BOX_HEADING_FEATURED_PRODUCTS . '</a>' . '</li>' . "\n";
      }
    }
    if (SHOW_CATEGORIES_BOX_PRODUCTS_ALL == 'true') {
      $cat_box_link_head = cat_box_heading('ALL');
      $content .= $cat_box_link_head[1];
      $content .= '<li><a class="category-links" href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCTS_ALL) . '">' . CATEGORIES_BOX_HEADING_PRODUCTS_ALL . '</a>' . '</li>' . "\n";
    }
    
        if (SHOW_CATEGORIES_SEPARATOR_LINK == '1') {
      $content .= '<hr id="catBoxDivider" />' . "\n";
    }


  for ($i=0;$i<sizeof($box_categories_array);$i++) {
    switch(true) { 

//lots of code


  if (SHOW_CATEGORIES_BOX_SPECIALS == 'true' or SHOW_CATEGORIES_BOX_PRODUCTS_NEW == 'true' or SHOW_CATEGORIES_BOX_FEATURED_PRODUCTS == 'true' or SHOW_CATEGORIES_BOX_PRODUCTS_ALL == 'true') {
    $content .= '</ul>';
  } 

You should have

if (SHOW_CATEGORIES_BOX_SPECIALS == 'true' or SHOW_CATEGORIES_BOX_PRODUCTS_NEW == 'true' or SHOW_CATEGORIES_BOX_FEATURED_PRODUCTS == 'true' or SHOW_CATEGORIES_BOX_PRODUCTS_ALL == 'true') {

above the links and

$content .= '</ul>';
}

below them:

  $content = "";
  $prev_cat_depth = -1;
  $content .= '<div id="' . str_replace('_', '-', $box_id . 'Content') . '" class="sideBoxContent">' . "\n";
  
//--------------------------------------open #catLinks conditional---------------------------------------

  // display a separator between categories and links
    $content .= '<ul class="catLinks">';
    if (SHOW_CATEGORIES_BOX_SPECIALS == 'true') {

      $content .= $cat_box_link_head[1];
      $show_this = $db->Execute("select s.products_id from " . TABLE_SPECIALS . " s where s.status= 1 limit 1");
      if ($show_this->RecordCount() > 0) {
        $content .= '<li><a class="category-links" href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_SPECIALS) . '">' . CATEGORIES_BOX_HEADING_SPECIALS . '</a>' . '</li>' . "\n";
      }
    }
    if (SHOW_CATEGORIES_BOX_PRODUCTS_NEW == 'true') {
      // display limits

      $display_limit = zen_get_new_date_range();

Glen, thanks for that. It worked a treat :-)

Since I haven't found the concentrated time to properly update the mod in Free Addons, the zip of v2.7.3 is here for now.

[pixelwrangler]

I am building a cart with a main menu styled by Categories Dressing.

In Firefox, all is well, no matter how far down I drill into the subcategories and products.

In IE7, though, as I drill down, the size of the subcategories listings changes, gradually added space to the RIGHT of the menu, so that there is a gap between the menu and the next (main) div.

I have played around with the Web Dev extension in FF to try to pinpoint the problem, to no avail. The IE7 dev tools are kind of klunky and useless in trying to find the problem

It seems when I try to increase the padding of the subcats, it just pushes the size of the containing box outward instead of closing the "gap." Not a live site, so I can't post URL. I'll try to post screen capture later.

TIA for your ideas.

Hi Glenn,
If you have time, please have a look back to post #779 ...

Hello,

I have a question about the border that is around the categories.

Sorry if it has been asked before, but I cant find anything about it.
I'm new to this stuff so I might have even been searching for the wrong terms.

How do I remove the border around the categories?

Here is an image so you know what I mean. The arrows are pointing to the border I am talking about.



Thanks,

Jordin
