CSS sheet for category and all SUB categories?

Hi folks.

creating a style sheet c_1.css works as expected.

But how would I name the sheet so it applied to:

1_22
1_22_7
... as well.

I guess I'm wondering how to name it so c_1.css applies to the whole category tree.

I would have c_2.css for the next top level category and all the sub categories under it.

Do I really need to make a style sheet for each sub category?

Thanks Much!

Why are you creating a "new" stylesheet for the category tree?

You can use the default stylesheet to do it and set as needed to control the whole thing (If I hear you correctly, the functionality you are looking for is already built in)?

Or, you can create on new stylesheet, and just include ALL of the styles you want to reference in the category tree in that. Then, when it loads with the rest of the site, it will be fully controlled from there?

Make sense?

I see no need to create a new styelsheet for each category / subcategory when the whole thing is controlled from the main stylesheet as well.

What exactly are you trying to achieve? Knowing the idea may help solve the issue. :smile:

I want to use a -unique- style sheet for each of my -top level- categories, and have that style sheet apply to all the -sub categories- under it as well.

For instance, instead of this:

Top Level Category 1 (and everything below it)
c_1.css
c_1_1.css
c_1_1_1.css
c_1_2.css
c_1_2_1.css

Top Level Category 2 (and everything below it)
c_2.css
c_2_1.css
c_2_1_1.css
... and on and on...

This:

Top Level Category 1

cat1_and_all_sub_categories_under_cat1.css

Top Level Category 2

cat2_and_all_sub_categories_under_cat2.css

I'm trying to name a style sheet so I only have to make ONE for each top level category, instead of one for each and every sub category.

Does that make more sense?

Actually, I'd be happy if anyone could tell me if this is even possible...

Someone has done this, and posted about it here. It was a few months ago now, and all I remember is that it was in a thread where clydejones was posting.
If you find it, it would be beneficial to post a link here for general edification.

If you have your stylesheet named c_12.css and you have loaded it to the css directory for your template, it should control all items under category 12. Make sure you are using the actual category number and not it's number in line.
