Remove Categories Sidebox Title Bar

Hi - I want to have my categories sidebox go all the way up to the bottom of the EZ pages bar on my home page. Basically I want to remove the "Categories" title in the categories sidebox, along with the background image that makes the bar.

this is what it looks like now.

I want it to look like this, sort of. You can see that all space at the top and between bottom of the categories and the next sidebox is removed as well:

anyone know how I can do that?

Post a link to your site
Like this
zen-cart dot com

For a template constructed according to standards, you can hide this by adding to your stylesheet

#categoriesHeading {display: none;}
and possibly
#categories {margin-top: 0;}

If that does not work, we have to see it live to give correct advice.

Sorry I forgot the link - here you go.

Yes, those rules will work.

thanks for all your help - this worked like a charm .

Hello,

Would like to achieve the same to my own added sidebox (using Blank Sidebox 2.0)

Any advise on how to remove the title bar completely?

Also i'm trying to remove top and bottom margins from my sideboxes

What is the id of your new sidebox? Modify the "categories..." rules to match your sidebox filename and it should work the same.
For all sideboxes, try rules like

.leftBoxContainer, .rightBoxContainer {margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0;}

hello,

That removed the margins between each sidebox,

i'm trying to remove the margins within each sidebox before and after the content,

please have a look at chequesplus dot com

see stay connected sidebox on left

Thanks

That is not margin but padding making the spaces.

stylesheet.css, line 1438: ```
.sideBoxContent {
border-left: 1px solid #C8E7F5;
border-right: 1px solid #C8E7F5;
padding: 12px;
}

padding: 0 12px;

or whatever you want.

that removes padding from left side but not from top and bottom

Thanks

You said you wanted to remove padding before and after the content, not on the sides too. Just remove the 12px.

What I posted would remove the padding from top and bottom, and not from the sides. What exactly did you put in? It must have been different.

Thanks so much that removed significant padding from before content but not from after.

Also anyway to remove title bar completely from a specific sidebox?

The Blank Sidebox template file (tpl_blank_sidebox.php) contains <p> tags that add space to the top and bottom. Remove them, leaving the single quote marks.

$content .= '<p>' . TEXT_BLANK_SIDEBOX . '</p>';
$content .= '<p>You can include text, links, images, HTML markup and even PHP code</p>';

See post #3, using your sidebox id in place of categories.

That helped! thanks so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!

but not always (basically a sidebox with an image keeps the margins even when removing the <p>

I guess i messed something up when trying to remove the padding between the sideboxes as i successfully decreased it for the left sideboxes from 12px to 2px but something got messed up with the right sideboxes,

i tried using Beyond Compare, comparing the original stylesheet.css file to the modified one but couldn't find anything else changed,

if you have a chance have a look at chequesplus dot com

Thanks everyone!
