Delete or rename the example image file for category id 3: /includes/templates/your_template/buttons/english/catimg3.gif.

So I finally got this figured out!

I just needed to step away, take a deep breath, and stop being so frustrated!!

I re-copied all the files to their respective directories and played around with the CAT_BOX_ACTIVE_LEVEL in the categories_dressing_defines.php file (as suggested). Now I'm about to start customizing the look and display using the stylesheet.

so i grabbed a domain for my wifes web business and while transfering everything over my 3rd link i cant seem to find why it is doing this.. when u hover over the 3rd link it says boys accessories.. but the button says cat3 sample... how do i fix this?

this is the site.

It looks like that link is pointing here: http://mickieandmarc.com/store/inclu...sh/catimg3.gif.

This may be a default image with the template you are using.

Hopes this points you in the right direction.

Hi Glen, I wonder if you can help me with something? I'm building a new site at www.silkblooms.co.uk and I've used another of my sites as the template. I can't ficure out how I created CAT_BOX_HEADING_1_29.

If you look at the 'colour filter' you can see the list is broken into two columns. There are four on the left column and six on the right.

How do I tell CAT_BOX_HEADING_1_29 only to split with five of the colour sub categories instead of taking six?

I'm basically trying to even the columns into two columns of five.

The left column cats are in catGroup1_26 and the right column cats are in catGroup1_29. How are these defined?

I figured this out from post #815 in this thread.

You'd already told me how to create the two column layout in that post, I just couldn't remember. All I had to do was change the sub cat from 1_29 to 1_30 in the categories_dressing_defines.php file.

Sorted.

Glad you got it figured out!

on the diaper cakes category.. there is 3 sub categories... i want only the sub categories to be aligned on the left... how can i go about doing this?

[sidewing]

also is there a way so when u click diaper cakes and it brings up basically a blank page in the center.. can it show the sub categories there as well as the list on the left? or maybe how about just the top category on the main list, then when u click diaper cakes, it only shows sub categories in the middle not on the main category list?

What is your setting for Configuration > Layout Settings > Categories - Always show on Main Page ?
Or perhaps Configuration > Product Listing > Show subcategories when navigating.

You can adjust what levels of categories show in the sidebox with CAT_ACTIVE_LEVEL_MANAGE in categories_dressing_defines.php (see the readme for more info).
