Categories Box Bullet and Line (Support)

Recommended Posts

Ok, finnaly I understand that this is the correct place for this question.

 

Can I combine this contribution, with "Graphical Infobox Headers"??

 

Graphical Infobox Headers allow to use graphical headers for all side info tables, and it's aviable here: http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contri...h,table+infobox

 

It's possible??

 

If not, how can I do?

 

Thank you.

 

You have come to the right place and yes you can combine the contributions in 10 seconds.

 

This is the support for the contribution and where the answers can be gained.

 

catalog/includes/boxes/categories.php

 

locate code

<!-- categories //-->
         <tr>
           <td>
<?php
 $aa = 0;
 $info_box_contents = array();
 $info_box_contents[] = array('align' => 'left',
                              'text'  => BOX_HEADING_CATEGORIES
                             );
 new infoBoxHeading($info_box_contents, true, false);

and change to

<!-- categories //-->
<tr>
 <td> 
   <table width="144" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="1" class="infoboxborder">
     <tr>
       <td>          <table width=100% border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 class="infoBoxContents">
           <tr> 
             <td colspan=3 width="100%"> <img src="images/boxes/table_categories.jpg"></td>
           </tr>
           <tr> 
             <td width="100%"> 
<?php
 $aa = 0;
//  $info_box_contents = array();

//                              );
//  new infoBoxHeading($info_box_contents, true, false);

 

then locate

  new infoBox($info_box_contents);

?>
</td>

Just replace the bullet with what image you want and table it up for your effect. Example:

 

<table><tr><td><img src=leftroundcircle.gif></td><td bgcolor=colorofcircle><a href=category link>  Then find the </a>and put </td><td><img src=rightroundcircle.gif></td></tr></table>

 

Something like that.

Ah ok, so it's 2 images, left and right, and ties in with the background, correct?

I'd been trying to twiddle with my code myself to try and get it to do a background image within table cells for the categories, rather than using complete images for a few days now, and now this contribution coupled with that little bit of coding there does the job perfectly. I can't believe I never found this contrib sooner.

 

Using the coding you guys have provided and tweaking it just a little, I also managed to make my infobox have one particular background for the main category cells, and another for the subcategory cells.

 

Similar to this photoshop mockup of what I wanted to achieve:

Thanks so much Steve & Dennis!

As previously posted in this support thread HERE this has nothing to do with this contribution. :-"

 

It is not this contribution that is causing an issue with cache, if you remove this contribution you will still have an issue with cache this is due to your setup and not this contribution. :thumbsup:

Hi you all there,

 

I am new here so maybe I am asking a stupid question. When I do copy the file, the new category box shows nicely on the index page but on the other pages it is not showing. Why? What do I have to do to fix it?

 

Thanks

I didn't upload the file on the hostserver. I just copied it local so I can test it local on my computer. Do you think it can made a difference by uploading it to the server? I have my own server local installed on an another pc.

No it should not make a difference, the link was to be able to visually see what was happening.

I made a copy of the original categories file and uploaded the modified one to the server just to see what would happened. And it works, every page shows the contribution. I am very happy and I thank you again for this nice contribution. If I understand well you have to upload your page to your hostserver so you can it work into the whole site?Is there any other way you can test your files locally before you upload them? I can test the page local but not how it works on the other pages of the site locally. How can I fix this?

 

Thanks

i fixed the bug

 

in catalog/includes/functions/cache.php

 

search for: function tep_cache_categories_box

 

add

,$foo,$id,$aa

 

the function will look like this:

 

function tep_cache_categories_box($auto_expire = false, $refresh = false) {
   global $cPath, $language, $languages_id, $tree, $cPath_array, $categories_string,$foo,$id,$aa;

 

Enable your cache if not enabled

 

it's all!

Hi:

 

Just for kicks, I've merged Alpha Ray's code for changing the background of the Categories box into this great contribution. This version lets you have bullets, lines, and a different background color for the box.

 

Alpha Ray's code can be found here:

http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/index.php?sho...ndpost&p=528149

 

Here's the merged code. I'm not a programmer, so there may be a better way to do this--but it's working on my site.

 

Note: This also requires adding several new stylesheet definitions (TD.infoCatBoxHeading, .infoCatBox, .infoCatBoxContents, and .CatboxText), as detailed in Alpha Ray's post.

Hi Steve...I don't know if you are still reading this support thread but i recently dled the categories box bullet and line contrib. Works great but i have a few mods that i want to do. I don't want a bullet but i really just want the line. How do i do that? What do i delete? Also is there a way to make the line extend through the entire categories box? And can i control the color of this line? Thanks!

Also is there a way to make the line extend through the entire categories box?  And can i control the color of this line?  Thanks!

 

this line contains the bullett image

    $categories_string .= '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'checkout_bullet.gif', '') . ' ';

 

this line is the horizontal line

$categories_string .= "<hr>";

to change the colour change to

 

$categories_string .= tep_draw_separator('pixel_silver.gif', '125', '1');

thanks steve for the response. I'm not allowed to just take the image line out right? When i tried to just delete the line

   $categories_string .= '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'checkout_bullet.gif', '') . ' ';

my categories dissappeared. Also what do i do to

$categories_string .= "<hr>";  ??

Am i supposed to replace it with

$categories_string .= tep_draw_separator('pixel_silver.gif', '125', '1');

because when i tried that, the lines were misaligned and it kinda looked like this

 

Categories

----------------------category

----------------------cateogry

----------------------category

 

 

Hope that makes sense. Thanks

Hello Steve,

 

I have a question about your "Categories Box Bullet and Line" and "Infobox Admin" contributions. Is there a compatibility issue with the two?

 

I'm using OCS 2.2ms2 and have installed Contribs in this order:

OnTheFly_GDThumbs_1_5

Infobox_Admin_ms2_2.2

 

These contribs are working fine.

 

Next I tried installing the "Categories Box Bullet and Line" and ran into a snag....

Your categories.php file is very different from my working copy due to the infobox admin MOD. I tried to merge the difference in the two files using the "beyond Compare2" program. I thought I did a thorough job but when I tested it live only my first listed category shows up with none of my other categories or sub categories. It's the only thing listed... one, uno category :D

 

Perhaps you can take a quick glance at my merged categories.php code. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. :thumbsup:

Hi steve, sorry to be such a pain. 2 questions

 

If you look at

lingerie

you'll see that the lines for the categories box don't extend to the left and right border of the box. Is there a way to make this line extend all the way?

 

Also i think i would like to add a little more space between each of my categories. So instead of

 

Categories

lingerie

lingerie

lingerie

 

I want

 

Categories

lingerie

 

lingerie

 

lingerie

 

Where can i edit this part?

 

Oh and lastly, i tried to make my own "pixel_pink" by opening photoshop and just making a 1 px x 1px image and filling it in with pink. After i did this, it didn't extend all the way (hence the black lines) How do i make a pixel pinK? =)

 

Thanks!!!

Hello,

 

Is it possible to modify the code to show the category count in parenthesis, like the default categories box displayed before the mod?

 

thank you for your time...

 

yes remove the comment out tags

   // if (SHOW_COUNTS == 'true') {
  //   $products_in_category = tep_count_products_in_category($counter);
  //   if ($products_in_category > 0) {
  //     $categories_string .= ' (' . $products_in_category . ')';
  //   }    }

 

to give this

    if (SHOW_COUNTS == 'true') {
     $products_in_category = tep_count_products_in_category($counter);
     if ($products_in_category > 0) {
       $categories_string .= ' (' . $products_in_category . ')';
     }    }

Thanks for the quick tip Steve... Nice MOD, looks great.

 

I have a question about using this MOD in conjuction with the InfoBox Admin MOD. I have gotten each of them to work when installed seperately but not together... I run into a problem when I do a file compare for the changes in:

/catalog/includes/boxes/categories.php

there are alot of differences in the code...

 

I'll understand if you don't have the time to tackle my issue, but I was wondering if anyone got these two mods working together?

 

thanks in advance
