Guest Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 I would like to add a category box (listing) in the left column using the killer skin. Does anyone have a MOD or a walkthrough? What i did to achieve this was to copy the ../skin/styletemplates/boxes/categories.tpl form the legend skin into the killer skin and then open ../skin/styletemplates/global/index.tpl and move the {categories} tag down into the left hand column.

Guest shaywood Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 Thanks. That would be a good option, however, I want to keep the category listing at the top of the page also. And, add one in the box on the left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest GaryU Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 Great tutorial mate Thanks. One question, if I want to edit the text and the box, where do I go to do that? I want to edit the text slightly (font/bold etc..) and there is no line on the bottom of the category2 box. Cheers :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 a small question; i followed this; but have the tab main cats still there[ want them] but also have them repeated on the sidebox. How can i get rid of these - or those to change when i click on one of the main cats the sub cats are displayed in the sidebox - the main tab above is retained. I would like to have the main tab cat bar retained; but with the sub cats displayed underneath ONLY when the cat is clicked on - takers? I know theres a sub cat mod but it displays the sub cats whatever the situateion [is this for the org site?] linky me site HERE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest purpledragon Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 First time I have posted, I hope it's ok for me to post on pinned post. Thanks for this aikdo. It works great! I have also done this too, which I thought ppl might find helpful. As it seperates the Shop by Category box from the Shopping Basket box (or whatever is underneath). Once you have done all that aikdo said Open categories2.tpl and on line 14 add<div class="boxFootLeft"> </div> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Sir I have been reading your post here regarding someone wanting to have the categories on the left hand side in their killer skin, I too want the same thing and so I followed your simple steps and the blue strip that goes across the page that had the category tabs on them has gone, but I would like to have it back as I want to put in there in tabs some of the site documents that I have created, for example, About Us, Terms and Conditions, etc etc, so it would be appreciated if you could help me out on this one please sir, my site is www.zenardi-motors.com With the categories now in a box on the left hand side, I need to move it down slightly, plus I would like to have a gap between the categories box and the shopping basket box so a little help on that too would also be fantastic. I look forward to hearing from you best regards Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
