How do you add solid line b/n links in infoboxes?

The title says it all. I've seen it on a few sites and am wondering how it is done.

 

It's just a line separating different sets of links within 1 infobox.

 

Thanks!

In the includes/boxes/categories.php file, find

$categories_string .= '<br>';

and change it to

$categories_string .= '<hr>';

will that put a line between every category though?

 

go to this site and look at their categories box, they have the dividers separating different sets of links.

 

How do i do that?

No, the code change I gave you will put a line between each catageory. It looks like what that site has done is add more links to the categories box separated by hr's. Weekly Articles and Message Board aren't part of the typical categories.

I realize that, but how would one go about doing what he did?

 

I actually don't want the line(s) in my category box, but in my information box....

Find this code in the categories.php file

 if ($tree[$counter]['next_id'] != false) {
     tep_show_category($tree[$counter]['next_id']);
   }

and add the following right below it

	else {
 $categories_string .=  '<hr>New Section';
 $categories_string .=  '<hr>Another New Section';
 }

You will need to add whatever additional information you want of course.

COOL!

 

Oh BTW:

...??? wouldnt she need to modify her information.php in boxes ???...

To do what the other site did, the changes need to be made to the categories box. To make changes to the information box, it is just a matter of adding links, image or whatever you want right after the existing ones. Just be sure to end the line correctly. The last line entered needs to end is ); while the others end in a period.
