wargaming Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Hi, bit of a strange question this one is there any way of changing the look of the catorgaries menu in the stock install. My shop runs alot of ranges and I have around 20 different catorgaries my problem is the menu kind of blends in and you cant see where one range ends and another begins is it possible to insert a line break or maybe make each one a different colour. Another question along the same lines is can you make subcatorgary links a different colour to main catorgary links at all? cant find this in the stylesheet anywhere Thanks for any help in advance :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥geoffreywalton Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 You could find the code where the category list is built and add a <br> in at the end of each one. Alternatively an <hr>. The html link in my sig covers those elements. To change the colours of each link could also be done in the same area but colour selectiio etc would nned to be catered for. Sounds like a pig of a job if there is not a contribution.

wargaming Posted January 16, 2008 Author Share Posted January 16, 2008 Can anyone help with this i'm a code newbie and without alot of breaking things first I doubt i'll figure this out. I want to make a space between each catorgary in the menu i'm guessing I will have to insert a break into the catorgories file but how do I get it to repeat for every one can anyone tell me where to insert the <br> or at least make a informed guess ? Thanks for any help in advance peeps really appreciated :) function tep_show_category($counter) { global $tree, $categories_string, $cPath_array; for ($i=0; $i<$tree[$counter]['level']; $i++) { $categories_string .= " "; } $categories_string .= '<a href="'; if ($tree[$counter]['parent'] == 0) { $cPath_new = 'cPath=' . $counter; } else { $cPath_new = 'cPath=' . $tree[$counter]['path']; } $categories_string .= tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, $cPath_new) .
