Categories

[Guest ByondF1]

How do I get my Categories to make more then one row across the top of my page. My store is at http://byondf1.com/CubeCart. Running v3.0.4

Thanx. You all have been most helpful.

[Guest vrakas]

Suggestion: make sub categories.

[Guest ByondF1]

Is that the only way? What does the Show catagories per row entry in the general settings control?

[Guest vrakas]

Good question

Try here maybe it will help

Hi ByondF1,

Did you resolve your problem.

I also would like to show my top level categories on 2 rows, at the moment I have too many which is making my cart too wide to display on smaller screen resolutions creating a horizontal scroll bar which is undesirable.

Thanks in advance.

Chris :rolleyes:

@chrismaber

There is a mod that will allow you to add a 2nd row for Killer Skin.

Let me find it for you.

Here is the link by goober999

Thanks vrakas,

That mod actually adds 2nd level categories to the 2nd row.

Still it is a solution.

Thanks for your help.

Regards,

Chris :rolleyes:

I ended up modifying the Killer skin and moving the categories list to the left side. You can see it at http://byondf1.com/CubeCart

Thanx for the suggestions.

Its not the 2 row one i want its the 1 that goes in a box on the left and side of my store.

But want to keep the bar without the categories at the top of the page

[Guest ByondF1]

Ok, here is how I moved the categories to the side of the Killer skin.

First make a copy of the folder called Killer under the skins directory and call it whatever you want your new skin to be.

{store}/skins/{Your new skin}/styleTemplates/global/index.tpl

Search for

{CATEGORIES}

Move it to just before

{INFORMATION}

If you want the blue bar at the top of the page add this where the {CATEGORIES} was:

<div class="topCats">

<div class="topCatsBgRight">

<span class="topCatsBgLeft">&nbsp;</span>

</div>

</div>

Now edit

{store}/skins/{Your new skin}/styleTemplates/boxes/categories.tpl

and make it look like:

<!-- BEGIN: categories -->

<div class="boxTitleLeft">{LANG_CATEGORY_TITLE}</div>

<div class="boxContentLeft">

<ul>

<li class="bullet"><a href="\" class="txtDefault">ByondF1 Home</a></li>

<li class="bullet"><a href="index.php" class="txtDefault">{LANG_HOME}</a></li>

<!-- BEGIN: li -->

<li class="bullet"><a href="index.php?act=viewCat&amp;catId={DATA.cat_id}" class="txtDefault">{DATA.cat_name}</a></li>

<!-- END: li -->

<!-- BEGIN: sale -->

<li class="bullet"><a href="index.php?act=viewCat&amp;catId=saleItems" class="txtDefault">{LANG_SALE_ITEMS}</a></li>

<!-- END: sale -->

</ul>

</div>

<div class="boxFootLeft">&nbsp;</div>

<!-- END: categories -->

Then upload those 2 files and away you go.

Hope that helps.

LOL I went to Goober's site to see what they were talking about on the skin and I came across this New Flash on the side bar. Read it and clicked the 'more' button to find out more. I'm sitting here looking at, saying where's the pic so I can see it?!?! Duh, I just used it!!!

BTW: cool News Flash Mod :)

[Guest ardwyn]

Cheers ByondF1

Followed your instructions to the letter.

Copied and pasted your categories.tpl over mine and worked perfectly.

Oh, by the way I deleted the line

<li class="bullet"><a href="\" class="txtDefault">ByondF1 Home</a></li>

as although this has been so helpful, I didn't think a link to your site was needed on mine. :D
