Category View Changes

[Guest mmjosh1010]

Sorry I know not a lot of you won't be interested in this but just wondering if anyone could tell me how to do something. I have changed the way Sub-Category's are viewed (just an experiment) but if you look on:

http://www.software247.co.uk/new/index.php...Cat&catId=3

I want just 1 category to appear on each line but at the moment about 2 can fit, how can I make it so there is just one category on each line?

Thanks

You'll need to play around in your template file:

Open skins/Carreta-Soft/styleTemplates/contents/viewCat.tpl

This chunk of code determines how your categories are displayed:

<!-- BEGIN: sub_cats -->

<div id="SubCategories">

<!-- BEGIN: sub_cats_loop -->

<div class="subCat"><a href="index.php?_a=viewCat&amp;catId={TXT_LINK_CATID}" title="{TXT_CATEGORY}"><img src="{IMG_CATEGORY}" alt="{TXT_CATEGORY}" border="0" /></a><br />

<a href="index.php?_a=viewCat&amp;catId={TXT_LINK_CATID}" title="{TXT_CATEGORY}">{TXT_CATEGORY}</a> ({NO_PRODUCTS})</div>

<!-- END: sub_cats_loop -->

</div>

<br clear="all" />

<!-- END: sub_cats -->

If you replace it with:

<!-- BEGIN: sub_cats -->

<div id="SubCategories">

<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">

<!-- BEGIN: sub_cats_loop -->

  <tr>

	<td>

<div class="subCat"><a href="index.php?_a=viewCat&amp;catId={TXT_LINK_CATID}" title="{TXT_CATEGORY}"><img src="{IMG_CATEGORY}" alt="{TXT_CATEGORY}" border="0" /></a><br />

<a href="index.php?_a=viewCat&amp;catId={TXT_LINK_CATID}" title="{TXT_CATEGORY}">{TXT_CATEGORY}</a> ({NO_PRODUCTS})</div>

</td>

  </tr>

<!-- END: sub_cats_loop -->

</table></div>

<br clear="all" />

<!-- END: sub_cats -->

... then you'll be able to achieve what you're after.

The table forces a new row for each category that's being displayed in a sub-category view. Note that the table declarations are before and after the main loop. The rows are assigned within the loop, so you get a new row for each new product being displayed.
