Categories Dressing

[Horrific_ending]

Okay, we have everything working perfect, can not Thank you enough for all your help.

Just one issue; one of our sites will not list any main headers, no matter which category we link.


The site is ....

http://www.venomousstangz.net/


Our other sites working fine with the mod are ....

http://www.hidguy.net/ and http://www.allcitysports.net/



Any suggestions on what might be wrong ?

...="index.php">Design</a>|3');

The "3" indicates that it will use the .catBoxHeading3 { rule in the stylesheet. If you do not have such a rule, there will be no styling for that heading.

Change the 3 to match whatever rule you were using before.

Thanks, I did change that bit to 1 -

define ('CAT_BOX_HEADING_107','1|0|||<a href="index.php">Design</a>|1|');

But its still messed up and it should be ok as 1? (thats what it was before)

I think its because the heading is now a link its got the link style from the css?? How do I solve this?

Thanks

All sorted All fine now thanks

pb4 - Did you find that eliminating the extra | at the end of the define helped? I don't recall if it would be a problem, but it's definitely not necessary.
'1|0|||<a href="index.php">Design</a>|1|'

Horrific_ending - I can't see anything that would cause the headings to not show. What do you have in your defines for that site?

This is what our Defines holds right now. All the numbers correspond, but somehow they will not show.

//example defines - copy & modify for each category desired
define ('CAT_BOX_HEADING_1','1|0|||<center>HID Kits & Parts</center>|1');
define ('CAT_BOX_HEADING_6','1|0|||<center>Mustang LED Bulbs</center>|1');
define ('CAT_BOX_HEADING_8','1|0|||<center>Mustang Parts & Accessories</center>|1');

//display only the active top category and its subs, hide top cats, hide sub-subcats, or any combination.
//only uncomment and set this define if you want to hide cats based on active tree or level
// 'active|highest_level|deepest_level'
//active: 0=all tops/1=full active tree only/2=active only (all tops when no cat selected)/
//3=full active tree, others per level/4=like 3, active branches only/5=like 1, no tops|
//highest_level: 0=all levels/1=no topcats/etc.|
//deepest_level: 1=only first subcats/2=first & second subcats/etc.
//
//define('CAT_BOX_ACTIVE_LEVEL', '0|1|9');//hide top cats
//define('CAT_BOX_ACTIVE_LEVEL', '1|0|1');//show only active cats, to first subcat level

Odd... It does look like it should work. If the <center> tags weren't also in use on the other sites, I would suspect them of causing some glitch. In any case, the HTML <center> tag is officially deprecated, and the preferred (and simpler) way to achieve that result is to add
text-align: center;
to the
.catBoxHeading1 {
rule in the stylesheet. This will take care of all the headings with one line instead of having to code <center> and </center> on every one.

There is no effect whatsoever from the defines on that site, so I have to wonder if the categories_dressing_defines.php file is in the right place. Are you sure that the comments at the beginning of the file are properly terminated? Perhaps you can post the entire content of that file, comments and all, between [php] and [/php] tags.

Hi all,

Wonderful categories. Thanks. All my categories are displayed as images and change by hover perfectly.

QUESTION: Can each category display an individual image when CAT-TEXT-SELECTED like the "minus sign" bullet in the event of a text category?

THANK U!

[gjh42]

You want a different bullet for each category? That would require the "special category" classname as described in the tpl_categories.php comments, for each category. Then you could address each cat with a unique list-style-image: property to set its bullet.

Hey. I have been trying to get this mod working on my site but have had some trouble. The images that I used to replace the category text arent linking to the categories, additionally and probably on a related note hover isnt working. Here is my site. http://shoptekne.com/zencart/

Thanks in advace.

It looks like you have mixed up two kinds of background images, headings and categories.
Did you make defines like this for each category?

define ('CAT_BOX_HEADING_48','1|0|catbg48.gif|Cat 48 Heading');//image heading and alt text

Those defines are creating headings (non-linked) with the images you intended for the categories.
