Looked everywhere for this category mod, no joy

Hi everyone
Im really sorry if this has been posted before but i have tried searching for this for a few weeks now. I am currently using the category dressing for my website but would like to change it to a mod similar to the header horizontal links modd. Before i loose you please take a look at ravsappliances.com to see what i mean. I would like my category section to be similar to the header horizontal links.
If anyone can point me in the right direction i would be very grateful. I have checked the software add ons section and see that many category mods are available however am not sure which one i need as some of the add ons didnt have a link showing what it would look like

thanks alot in advance

Re: Looked everywhere for this category mod, no joy

Hi thanks a lot cobra
Just uploaded it to my server and enabled it . its not the kind of thing that i am looking for. I was looking for something that would look like my header horizontal menu bar.

I wanted a kind of block category menu without any real images other then a block colour. Maybe this can be done through this mod but no instructions came with it advising how to modify it

cheers

The two images used in the css flyout mod are called from the mod's stylesheet. So edit its stylesheet to use a coloured background instead, or create new images which are a simple colour patch if you prefer.

abs007,

Please elaborate on what it is and where it is to be located that you want.

From the initial, I believed that your header drop downs were what you wanted to be similar for your categories sidebox and the flyout is the basis for this---but now this does not appear to be what you want

Re: Looked everywhere for this category mod, no joy

Hi
Thanks for the reply.
Kobra you was correct in thinking that i wanted my category sidebox the same as the horizontal header. This mod works fine but as mentioned above it dosnt advise how to remove the images and use a block background color like the header links.

TBH i dont know if the horizontal header menu is using images or a css background color. If its a background color and no image then this is what i would like to turn the category flyout menu like to.

Rob
Thanks for your advise. If it is possible to remove the pics and change the background color so that it looks like the horizontal menu then please advise how i can get this done as i am lost

thanks

Re: Looked everywhere for this category mod, no joy

It is css driven and the install includes "stylesheet_categories_menu.css" file where you can specify colors

Re: Looked everywhere for this category mod, no joy

Hi
Ive managed to play around with the category mod and its coming on ok. I have 2 problems with this and was wondering if someone wouldnt mind helping. In mozilla If you go to buycheaplcdtvs.co.uk you can see that in the category sidebox the first link is LCD TV then under it its blank. I dont know where that has come from. Only the top of that button is clickable and takes you to the home page. In IE the whole button is clickable. But I do not want this there.

Does anyone know how i can fix this?

cheers
