Guest Europa Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 I've done all the work to the software that I need for the moment and I'm about to start uploading all of my stock. I'm just tidying up all of the loose ends before I register, backup and begin the long and tedious task of creating a 2000 strong database from scratch Is there anyway that I can remove the images of the blue folder that are used by default for sub-categories? I'd really like if it I could just have a list? if that can be done with a minimal amount of fuss? Otherwise, where abouts are the folder images located on the server?

xmasnut Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 I'd also like to remove the folder image and just have a list of the subcategories. I have over 100 subcategories and the list would take much less space and look a lot better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xmasnut Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 I found the image for the blue file folder. I use the Killer skin and that image is: skins/Killer/styleImages/catnophoto.gif If we can find a way to get rid of it, perhaps we can turn it into a 1 pixel gif to make the subcats list look better.

Guest Europa Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 I changed the image to a 1px gif and it takes care of half the problem. The text is centered and spread all over the column (just looks messy) and there is a light blue hi-light that is behind all of the text. I'd really really really like it if the subcats could just be in a left aligned good 'ol plain old fashioned vanilla text list :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Europa Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 OK so I replaced the image with a 1px one and I used <BR> tags in the sub-category names and it's beginning to look a lot more like it needs to be. Now all I need to do is remove that blue highlight that appears over the text and just feels buggy, sometimes it's there and sometimes it's only half there. It just looks pieced together. Like This So if someone knows how to remove the highlight or to change the highlight from the pale blue to a white? it would be of a great help to me :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GnomeyNewt Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 I don't see the line you are talking about in IE or FireFox? Maybe you fixed it already? Anyhow, here is what you can do for a list, something like this will make it a true list and than you can style the list any way you want. Found in skins/TEMPLATE/styleTemplates/content/viewCat.tpl <div id="subCats"> <ul> <!-- BEGIN: sub_cats_loop --> <li><a href="index.php?act=viewCat&catId={TXT_LINK_CATID}" class="txtDefault">{TXT_CATEGORY}</a> ({NO_PRODUCTS})</li> <!-- END: sub_cats_loop --> </ul> </div> Or you can just remove the image from the template itself: <div id="subCats"> <!-- BEGIN: sub_cats_loop --> <div class="subCat"> Â <a href="index.php?act=viewCat&catId={TXT_LINK_CATID}" class="txtDefault">{TXT_CATEGORY}</a> ({NO_PRODUCTS}) </div> <!-- END: sub_cats_loop --> </div> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dealdream Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 That code that GnomeyNewt provided was helpful, but when I used it, my listings became centered and bulleted. See: http://dealdream.com/store/index.php?act=viewCat&catId=11 Does anyone know how I can remove the bullets and justify the listings to the left-hand side of the box? Thanks for any help you can offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tbladecki Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 I am new to this but you can try this: Just after or maybe before the following: div class="boxContent"> <span class="txtContentTitle">PC Games</span> <br clear="all" /> EITHER HERE <div id="subCats"> <ul> OR HERE, IT NEEDS TO GO IN THIS AREA <li><a href="index.php?act=viewCat&catId=19&PHPSESSID=79b9b8b19acc751009d3feb797117e5f" class="txtDefault">Action Games</a> (1)</li> Enter the following: <p align="left"></p> I belive that is is in the veiwcat.tpl file.. let me know if you have any problems, or you can send me a copy of the code and I can make the correction for you if you have a hard time doing it. Hope this helps, like I said I am new but I have stumbled my way around for a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boberge Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 These two small mods mods will give a "simple list when showing categories " (example): Found in skins/TEMPLATE/styleTemplates/content/viewCat.tpl here. In addition you will have to modify the "layout.css" (which really is the point, the above code only mods the list from bulleted to not bulleted) Found in skins/TEMPLATE/styleTemplates/styleSheets/layout.css Search/find the string #subCats and replace "text-align: center;" with "text-align: left;". Walla! <div id="subCats"> <dl> <!-- BEGIN: sub_cats_loop --> <dd><a href="index.php?act=viewCat&catId={TXT_LINK_CATID}" class="txtDefault">{TXT_CATEGORY}</a> ({NO_PRODUCTS})</dd> <!-- END: sub_cats_loop --> </dl> I.e. change <ul> (original) to <dl> (changing from bulleted to "none"). Changing <li> (original) to <dd> will align the list to the left with one tab. <dt> is without one "tab". More details regarding list-options can be found #subCats {   background-color: #EBEDFE;   text-align: left  ;   border: 1px solid #C9CEFC;   margin: 0px;   padding: 3px;   float: left;   width: 387px; } :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest foxfire Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 Hi, I am trying to get the 'sub cat' list organised. Did that OK, but the sub cat box has fell out of the main box. Bit hard to explain, please see web page, compared to home or product page. Not sure what I did to cause this. If any one can solve this problem, please post. The joys of creating my first skin....but I have had fun, and think it looks nice. Webpage Thank you, foxfire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tbladecki Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 I looked at your site for a couple of mins back and forth and I must be a retard, because I can not see where the problem is that you are talking about on it "falling off" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest foxfire Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Hi, Sorry, you beat me to it. In Australia, different time zone and all, I'm on my lunch break.. I fixed it! I found that in the viewCat.tpl, while I was changing the code around etc,that I had </div> twice in a row. Upset the apple cart a bit. Thank you tbladecki for taking the time to check it out, appreciated. Thanks all, foxfire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tbladecki Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 no problem the extra </div> is a common error on moving things around..... Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
