Categories --> Sub Categories Layout Tweaking & Help (viewcat)

[Laico]

Afternoon All,

I am setting up a site which has ten categories that can be clicked from the 'Shop by Category' section. Each category has around ten to fifteen products and thus a sub-category page appears listing all the categories.

The help I am seeking is how do I make each sub-category page slightly different? I want to add an image, text description and a custom banner advertisement.

The closest CC thing I have found that may resemble something I am after is at:

http://oldcolorprint.com/cube4/index.php

http://oldcolorprint.com/cube4/index.php?_...Cat&catId=2

http://oldcolorprint.com/cube4/index.php?_...at&catId=18

http://oldcolorprint.com/cube4/index.php?_...at&catId=40

http://oldcolorprint.com/cube4/index.php?_...at&catId=63

I only want to make the sub-category page different for all the categories I have. In the future I might want to tweak the actual category page that appears from the sub-category but I assume it may be the same procedure as what I am asking above?

Thanks in advance for any help give!

hello,

dunno if you got it sorted yet or not - but i might be able to help ?

i'm new to cc4 and have managed to set up individual sub category header space - so i can change text and images at the top of each sub category - as seen here (you have to imagine different text and images tho (still in progress) :

http://www.morganaslair.com/clothing/cloth...ens/cat_19.html

http://www.morganaslair.com/jewellery/cat_5.html

if this is the sort of thing you're after - i managed it by setting up my own CSS and hard coding HTML into the category description box

HTML:

<img class="imgright" height="133" alt="Jewellery at Morganas Lair" width="200" src="/skins/Carreta-Soft/styleImages/jewellery.jpg" />

<p><strong>Jewellery & Body Wear</strong></p>

<p>We supply a wide range of jewellery items for him and for her.</p>

<p>Broadly, these items are categorised below - but If you can't find exactly what you're looking for just contact us and we'll do our best to help you.</p>

<div class="clearfix"></div>

CSS:

#CatDescription {

background-color: #E6EDF4;

border-bottom: 1px solid #BCCAD8;

margin-top: 0;

margin-bottom: 10px;

padding: 2px 0 0 0;

border-top: 1px solid #C6C8D3;

}

.imgright{

float: right;

margin: 0px 0px 10px 12px;

padding: 6px;

background-color: #CBDBEB;

}
