Perhaps ask one the admin and they will point you in the right direction.

Having the categories on for the main must somehow ignore your mod from loading.

Sure I could ask.. for that matter you could ask as well.. this is after all a COMMUNITY driven site..

[Muzz]

Yes I could ask!

But I wouldn't know what they were talking about :)

You understand your MOD and they could prob say something simple and you would be ohhhh and fix it in 1 min.

I would nod and try and look like I understand :)

I just try and make things look petty.

Please don't take this wrong.. But I'm a little swamped and at this moment I don't have time to dig into this issue fully. I may not be able to get into it until the weekend if I can free up some time from my current paid projects.. Even if an admin "helped" because I asked, I don't necessarily have time to incorporate the changes into the mod and upload a new version for you. and yes I do understand my mod, but I don't understand why it isn't working with the product categories displayed on the front page.. So I'm not sure of the solution or that I'll even understand the 'cause of the issue just yet..

So it's more likely that if an admin "helped" you will have to take some time to understand any suggested changes and merge them into the mod on your own.. (or with some help from the community) Hope you understand.. I will look into this, but I just can't do it until this weekend if I can clear some time in my schedule..

hi DivaVocals,

Firstly, Relax! :)

I'm fine with how it is working now.

The purpose for me adding comments to the thread is so other people who experience the same issue as me know that there is an issue.

Others may not install the mod if they require the categories to list just below the main page content page.. but at least they know and won't pull their hair like me wondering why it wasn't working.

IF a admin or someone with coding skills comes along and read this thread maybe they can make a suggestion.

Otherwise when you get the time have a look. That could be in 1-never weeks time.. you don't owe anyone anything.

The MOD is really handy and be proud of what you have achieved so far :)

Thanks and Best wishes!

I'm relaxed.. nothing in post should have been interpreted as meaning otherwise.. I simply wanted to make sure it was clear that I want to help, but can't do so at this moment.. I confirmed the bug because I too wanted to make sure that the information was shared with others reading this thread..

Anyone who wants to know where you edit the content if you prefer NOT to use the Define Page Editor.

\includes\languages\english\html_includes\YOUR_TEMPLATE\define_middlebox_1.php


If you wish to chaneg the Title of the Sideboxes you will need to edit:

\includes\languages\english\extra_definitions\YOUR TEMPLATE\


middlebox_1.php
middlebox_2.php
middlebox_3.php

Edit: define('BOX_HEADING_MIDDLEBOX1', 'Put your title here');

[Muzz]

How would I go about creating a different background image for the banner titles?

I'm very rusty with css.. I can get the same image for all titles but would liek to have different colour/design for each.

I have:

.middleBoxHeading {
height: 30px;
margin: 0em;
padding: 0.5em 0.2em;
text-align: center;
background-image: url(../images/MYimage_middlebox_3.png);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}

I would like to know how we change the title size (tried this in my template, template, tpl_middlebox1_default.php by changing the h1 to h2, did not work) , the box size (too long), also how do we change the titles outside of admin? Tried something that was written and it did not work Edit: define('BOX_HEADING_MIDDLEBOX1', 'Put your title here');

Thank you
LadyDee

I changed my titles here:

\includes\languages\english\extra_definitions\YOUR TEMPLATE\


middlebox_1.php
middlebox_2.php
middlebox_3.php

Edit: define('BOX_HEADING_MIDDLEBOX1', 'Put your title here');


You edit the size of the font tile in the stylesheet_middleboxes.css file

h2.middleBoxHeading, h2.middleBoxHeading a {
font-size: 1.2em;
color: #96b710;

}

Edit the font there as I just tested and that works for me.
