Not at the moment - I have to run. I'll look at it later.

Hi, I just want to add a couple of non-linking headers in my categories, how can this be done? Not sure where I need to insert the code in the tpl_categories.php? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don´t think I can help you with that, cause I´m also new, but I would like to know how to show the image of the products when category is selected, that´s why I entered this thread.

In this link as you can see it only shows the description of the product. I want it to show a little image too, like I saw on your site, when category is selected.

never mind I found it. Admin.. Config.. Product listing.

[gjh42]

and now have been away from home again for several days. It is ready to zip up when I get home.

coxdabd - You don't touch tpl_categories.php for this or any other Cat Dressing setup.
The readme describes how to edit categories_dressing_defines.php to add headings above desired categories. You need to know the category path (cPath) for the categories.

I just installed this mod, and removed the example items from displaying, but what is the deal with the red bar next to one of my categories, when the rest the categories have a little red arrow? All of the categories are on the same level, and I populated one category with a couple of products to see if that would cause it change to a red bar, but it stayed a red arrow. Could someone point me in the right direction on this one? Thanks!

nevermind, I'm an idiot. It's just a current selection indicator.
