Categories Dressing

On your homepage, you have a div

.left-col-margin {
margin-top:-333px;
position:relative;
}

I don't know why your homepage has this div and others don't; that is between Template Monster who built the template and yourself who modified it.

Eliminating that margin-top may solve your problem.

I have allready settled that, but still no change. the funny thing is, that this appeared right after i installed categories dressing and it only appears on the first page....

I installed the categories dressing. In the admin I have it on for right side column only. The menu doesn't show in the website. Does someone know what I need to get the menu to show? I have re-installed 2 times to be sure I didn't forget a file.

Thanks,

For each categories link in the sidebox, how do I add "title" to it?

Example:

<a href="http://www.mysite.com/productpage.html" title="Adidas Watches">Adidas</a>

(See here)

Hello World! :cool:

I have a minor issue I haven’t been able to figure out:
Can’t get "Hover background" for "catLinks" to work… -That is the links under the divider, for "Specials", "All Products", etc...
Just don’t seem to read my .css for them links?
It’s picking up my default link color from “stylesheet.css”, (also the “a:active” color) but I haven’t been able to edit the hover background…

Any help is deeply appreciated! :hug:

Hi,

I need a little help with Category Dessing. Is it possible to "category dress" EZPage Sidebox links too?

For example on my test site:

http://www.mygamedemos.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=69_65

"Featured Products" appear to be "category dressed", but the "Gallery" link under the "Important Links" EZPage link in the sidebox doesnt have the category dressing.

Can someone please tell me how to make category dressing apply to the EZPage sidebox too?

Thanks.

Categories Dressing applies only to the categories sidebox. You would have to do some custom coding to apply the same sorts of styling elsewhere; I don't have time now to do anything about that.
You could copy some of the stylesheet rules and change #categories to #ezpages to apply the rules there, since that sidebox is already set up as a <ul> list.

Sidewing - What you want is accomplished just by applying styling to the right elements - no tables needed, and no difficulty.
Change the section of your stylesheet_categories_dressing.css to look like this:```
#categories ul {/top category lists/
list-style: none;
background: none;
margin: 0 0 0.4em 0;
padding: 0;
}

#categories ul a {/top categories/
color: #000000;
font-size: 1.3em;
background-color: #f58386;
border: 1px dotted #000000;
display: list-item;
list-style: none;/disc inside url(../images/bullet1.gif);change to list-style: none; to remove bullet/
margin: 0;
padding: 0.7em;
text-align: center;
}

Troll - You need to use enough specificity so that the rule overrides any others that would apply to the links, like this:```
#categories li a.category-links:hover {
color: #aabbcc;
}

JC.M - Categories Dressing automatically adds alt and title text to images, but to add a title to the text links you would need to edit tpl_categories.php where the link is built. You could easily automate adding the category name as a title, but adding expanded text as the title would require new coding to hold and handle that text, either in a database field or in a define file.

kaddie - I can't diagnose anything from your description. Can you give more details of what you have done, and what is and is not happening? A link to see your site may help too.

Thanks gjh42. That worked. All I did was copy the "stylesheet_chcategories_dressing.css" file, and rename it "stylesheet_ezpages_dressing.css".

Then I did a find and replace for "#chcategories" with "#ezpages" and it worked.

Feel free to add that to the next update :D

A bit of overkill, but won't hurt anything:)
There are many many rules in the Cat Dressing version that will never apply to the ez-pages version, so a more elegant method would be to extract the few rules that are applicable and clone/alter them.

how do i remove the dotted hr line or whatever it is in between each category? and also how do i remove the hr and the all products on the bottom?

chrissiemags:

OK I have installed categories dressing with no problems EXCEPT now in my categories list I have "Major Heading" and "Minor Heading" within the list and I can't for the life of me figure out how to remove this text. I've done many searches and still can't find an answer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

my site is Chrissie's Custom Creations

On the left hand side you see my list of categories where I am having the problem.

TIA for any help :hug:

anyone know how this person fixed this problem please :blush:

The readme describes how to turn off features and examples that you don't want. In this case, you would edit categories_dressing_defines.php, and comment out the define statements that you don't want to use (put // in front of the statement).

gosh that was easy, thanks....sorry im not familiar with all this just yet....thanks for the mod..its awesome

nevermind i found the hr in the template stylesheet... thanks tho for the original help. appreciated.

The bottom <hr> and the All Products are admin settings, in Configuration > Layout Settings.
