At around line 88 you should see this:

 

$categories_string .= ' (' . $products_in_category . ')';

 

The ' ' is a non-breaking space. You can make adjustments here.

 

willross, done...GREAT! Thank you very much! :thumbsup:

Will,

 

 

Thanks for a great contrib.. I have one question not related. I want to have category specific text and titles. I can not seem to find the right contrib or area to edit this info myself.. searched all the OSC doc and Google.

I am a newbie but I tired to research this question. I installed BTS and then installed Great Categories but I had problems with the categories box background being different from others. I used Great Categories CSS v2.1. Ic ould not for the life of me change the backgroud. Could someone help me do that? I would appreciate it. Thanks.

Change these and you will be all set.

 

 

From the installation text:

 

/*change the menu hover color below*/

#thecategories a:hover {

background-color: #eeeeee;

color: #000000;

}

 

Line 107 in 'categories.php (CSS Edition)':

 

$categories_string = '<div id="thecategories">';

I'm not quite sure what you want me to change. In both instances, "thecategories" is already there.

Will,

I have since moved to CRE loaded as the mods were killing me. Do you work much with those guys with your contribs? I have pretty much got everything I want except being able to remove the buy it now button and use a quanities box next to the item in cat list... the customer would enter the number they would want for each item (lets say under paints) and just have to hit add to cart and all the items would be listed at once. This is critical as most of my customers are buying multiple items and it is not practical adding 1 at a time

 

Here is my site.

here is what I am looking to do

Change the background color from #eeeeee; to what matches your store:

 

background-color: #eeeeee;

 

I was just showing you the style and where it was used.

Does the current CRE have this feature in their 'categories.php'? If so, I should be able to move it over to this one.

I tried that but all it did was change the background of the hover. It did not change the background of the category box. The category box background is transparent, FYI. Thanks for your responses.

Hello,

 

I just installed the newest Version of that great Contribution, but I have problems with long category-names. the linebreak isn't very nice.

I saw, that the newest version doesn't create a table for each category, but an older does.

But the older does not display the categories like I want. I need a mix between both. BUT:

can anybody help me to realize that? or post the categories.php?

 

regards,

 

Philipp

Great contribution! Thanks Will!

 

Looks very good and working properly, but I am not managing to get the cat. name and number of items in it on the same line. ie

 

Hardware

(6)

Software

(4)

 

 

The infobox is more than wide enough however! I have tried a nbsp near line 88 in cat.php, but this does not seem to work. Any ideas? Thanks in advance,

Hi, Nice contribution but I have a glitch that I can not figure out.

I have uninstalled it for the moment but would like to put it back in.

I am using 2.11 not CSS

Simply put,

 

When installed

 

The viewer sees the nice menus when entering the store

as soon as another link is clicked on the categories (or any other link I think), menus revert back to osc style never to return

 

my site is pretty modified so perhaps my conflict is from a previous contribution?

I am currently seeing this same issue.

I've also ben attempting to modify the code so that a top cat with NO subs does not have the > indicator. I'd prefer to have nothing there as it seems misleading.

OK, still having no luck with preventing the item counts from wrapping to the next line and not having the top cat display an arrow if there are no sub cat's.

 

Any suggestions anyone?

 

Oh, and has anyone figured out a way to be able to click on the cat a second time in order to have it collapse after it's been expanded?

 

This is just a want, while the first part is more of a need. Looks like I'll need to ditch this and go back to the stock layout until I can get this figured out.

Will Ross, thanks. This is one of the best contributions I have seen on this board!

 

I am working against time for the new year, and I am sure I will meet the time and spec requirements.

 

Have installed the seperate_colors_for_great_categories and looks great indeed. Works well with a wide variety of product range....

 

I however have two problems.

 

a. The subcategories are not showing in the box, though thox shows up.

b. Cant figure out why some thema images are not showing up.

 

Any Ideas around each of these?

 

Tony

Hi, I like everyone else, I love the contrib. However I seem to have lost the box that goes around everything in the categories. I'll try and dig a little deeper but any help would be great.

It's OK I have fixed it. Just had to change a couple of lines to suit my template. Same as a problem I had with boxad that maggi was gracious enough to help me with.

I'm still at it too. I've tried trim and chop in numerous places believing the issue lied with an extra set of white spaces or a return before of after the code, but nothing. Results the same. I haven't given up, though I'm currently stumped as well. And of course this board has SOOOO much activity :(

OK. What version are you using. Please be specific.

 

If you choose to show product counts, then the place you need to look is here:

 

Line 80 in Standard v2.1

 

$categories_string .= ' (' . $products_in_category . ')';

 

There should be no way to wrap that. If so, use the old "nowrap" in the <td> or even older "<nobr>".
