Categories Dressing

Picture 01 is how my categories originally looked. I have been trying to move the 2011 category into where the 2010 category is. I have disabled the 2010 category and have made several attempts to make the 2011 move down into its spot. When I try and move it, the Featured title moves along with it. Picture 02 shows one of my attempts. How can I make the Featured title stay at the very top? How do I make it so that 2012 is the only link currently under Featured? www lotions galore dot com

As I see you have already realized, the heading was tied to the 2011 category (id 249), and you needed to change the CAT_BOX_HEADING_249 define to refer to the 2012 category (id 287): CAT_BOX_HEADING_287.

Categories Dressing help needed please.
I have a few things I would like help with please on my site http://towerhousedolls.co.uk/demo/.
1/ Would like to remove the pink 'Sales!'
2/ Remove 'Buy Now'
3/ Remove line between Ballerina Toy Dolls & Undressed Toy Dolls
4/ Ditto the line further down under Toy Furniture
5/ Have 'Whats New!' & 'Deluxe Toy Dolls' (at top) in line with all other categories in list (at the moment they are in the middle of the column)
6/ Have 'New Products' & 'All Products' (at bottom) in line with all other categories in list (at the moment they are in the middle of the column)
I have hunted the stylesheet_categories_dressing.css and categories_dressing_defines.php and read the Read Me file but Im lost.

Adding this to your stylesheet seems to take care of most of your issues but Glen might have a cleaner way of doing it:

.noLi { display:none; }

Thanks for your speedy reply Totally Zenned.
Will give that a try :cool:

Please could you advise me which stylesheet to add it to? And where exactly?

If you add all of this to your stylesheet then it should fix the alignment too. It doesn't matter which stylesheet or where you add it but it's best to paste it into /includes/templates/CUSTOM/css/stylesheet_categories_dressing.css

**.noLi {
display:none;
}

#catGroup45 {
left: -21px;
position: relative;
top: 8px;
}

.catLinks {
left: -21px;
position: relative;
}**

Sorted! Absolutely brilliant limelites :D
Thank you so much.
I would never have figured that one out.
I am so happy now & feel like Im actually getting somewhere :clap:

Hello,

Will this mod work with the latest 1.5 RC1?

Thx

Many of the items you wanted to change are best done by commenting out defines for CAT_BOX_HEADING_whatever. Add // in front of each define and check the result; this will completely remove the demo headings instead of just hiding them. I can give more details if you need them when I get back to my home computer.

Categories Dressing will work with v1.5.0, last I checked. I will be releasing an updated version soon, and making this official.

I would love to know how to do it this way Black Belt to completely remove them. More details would be appretiated :smile:

If I do it this way should I remove the following?

.noLi {
display:none;
}

#catGroup45 {
left: -21px;
position: relative;
top: 8px;
}

.catLinks {
left: -21px;
position: relative;
}

The essential detail is to start with the first define('CAT_BOX_HEADING_whatever... and add // in front of it, like

//define('CAT_BOX_HEADING_whatever...

Then upload and see what difference it makes. You do need to have those new style rules disabled to see the effect of these edits.

I took out the code below.
.noLi {
display:none;
}

#catGroup45 {
left: -21px;
position: relative;
top: 8px;
}

.catLinks {
left: -21px;
position: relative;
}

Then I tried adding // in front of the defines as suggested one at a time to see the difference but none of them made much difference. I couldnt get rid of the pink Sales banner or the black print 'Buy It Now'
I couldnt left align all the categories so in the end I gave up and went back to using the code above. Not sure what I was doing wrong! :frusty:
Also my webpage in Firefox wont stop loading now :frusty:
Ive been trying my hardest all day to sort this and got nowhere :(

I also have a huge problem with Ultimate Fade in Slideshow not working in some versions of IE dont suppose anyone in here can help with that can they? I have asked on the Ultimate Fade in Slideshow forum but not had anyone answer. Its here http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1074842

Id be so grateful for any help :cry:

If you actually commented out the defines and correctly uploaded the file to your server, those headings would all go away, since that is the only place they come from. Obviously you made some error in the process, but I can't tell what it was from here.

You still have this demo rule in your stylesheet_categories_dressing.css:```
/example for custom category group styling/
ul#catGroup48 {
border: none;
background: none;
position: relative;
left: -1.3em;
width: 200px;
top: 0.2em;
}

Delete it, and if you want the categories to start farther to the left than other sidebox links, add a rule like```
#categoriesContent {margin-left: -21px; width: 200px;}

Also delete these rules:

#catGroup45 {
left: -21px;
position: relative;
top: 8px;
}

.catLinks {
left: -21px;
position: relative;
}

The 0.4em bottom margin in this rule is what gives the space below Deluxe Toy Dolls; change it to 0 to eliminate the extra space.```
#categories ul {/top category lists/
list-style: none;
background: none;
border: none;
margin: 0 0 0.4em 0;
padding: 0;
}

is the Categories dressing mod allow the use of specific categories on pages.

better put...
I have top categories hidden (guys & girls) for an apparel website. But on the check out page (and other pages) it doesnt show any categories because the top levels are hidden and all menus are collapsed.

Has anyone achieved this?

So you want to show only the guys subcategories or the girls subcategories in the sidebox, depending on which top cat is selected? Categories Dressing can do that. It can also show some categories (top and/or subs) on non-product pages where there is no category active. It all depends on your settings.

YES!! the second statement for sure. I have the the site displaying only subs now but on non product page I want it to display top and subs I think.

I'm going to re-read the docs and try to figure it out. I'll repost my progress.

Looks like I got it to work mostly... Thanks re-reading the documentation.

One thing I wanted to do... like for the non product pages be full unlimited display. Any way to do that?

Thank you very much for the detailed information Black Belt. I have followed your instructions to the letter and it is now looking great. :clap:

Just have to sort my Ultimate Fade In Slide show problem in IE now or take it out completely and try something else. Can you recommend a simple to use slide show please? Or maybe do you know a fix to get it aligned in the center in some versions of IE. Im using IE9 and it certainly doesnt work in that.

Any way to do that?There is not a prearranged setting for that situation; you would need to add a new case in the functions file to give that behavior. It would not be complicated, and I can look at it when I get some time next week.
You would need to have the chcategories option installed to show all top and subcats at once.
