franz67 Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 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!

Cheers, Eric :D :blink: :blush: I gusses, I understand what you meant, Eric. I got the same problem using Schmoe's Great Categories CSS v2.1. Without increasing the width of the column, and if the category name is too long, the second line of category move to far left, which doesn't look good. It does not actually indent well. but perhaps, other may find Schmoe's better. I prefer Willross's version. it work fine for me so far. I have unistalled the schmoe version and instill again the willross's Great Categories v2.1 Combo Pak. The problem solved. cheers jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teratyke Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 (edited) CSS version breaks HTML Validation Hi willross and all who have contributed to this. Its (as many have said) exactly what I have been looking for. I like both versions (CSS and non CSS) However, the CSS version breaks my HTML validation due to defining the TOPCAT, SECONDCAT, etc multiple times. The error reported it this Error: ID "TOPCAT" already defined I've looked through the code, but I don't see how to fix the problem. I'll keep thinking about it and post back here if I make any progress, but if anyone else has tried to get the code HTML Valid I'd be glad to hear about it. Thanks again - EDIT -> Sorry just read your post Vali29 - missed that somehow before! Did you make an progress validating the CSS version?

offie Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Hi all, I also think this is a great contribution. I have a problem though. I have two stores, one is Osc v2.2 RC2a and this works great, however I have now placed this contribution into my old store which is Osc 2.2-MS2 and when the page first opens the categories are as they should be but as soon as I click something they go back to their default previous version. I have viewed every page in this support thread and although someone else did have this problem on page 2 of the thread (melfalcon15) previously the answer for them did not work for me. What I think the problem might be is that in my old store I have discovered that I have two stylesheet.css files. One is in the mystore folder and the other is in mystore/includes folder. I have done a file comparison of the two files and they are not exactly the same but very similar. Basically the question is, should I add the code for this contribution to the second stylesheet.css file as well? Why does the the older version have two stylesheet.css files anyway? I have checked my new store and there is no extra stylesheet.css file in mystore/includes folder. Thanks for any help, if anyone wants to view the files please let me know Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

offie Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Hi all I have been through this thread looking for an answer to the categories wrapping to the next line. I have changed the width of the categories box to 200px from the default 125, I have changed all the advice given in various replies in this thread such as adding and removing NOWRAP, doing the change of $categories_string .= ' (' . $products_in_category . ')'; in Line 80 of catalog/includes/boxes/categories.php, also trying There should be no way to wrap that. If so, use the old "nowrap" in the <td> or even older "<nobr>". but nothing worked, the category names still wrapped until I tried changing this piece of code in catalog/stylesheet.css. #thecategories { position: relative; top: -9px; margin-bottom: -16px; width: 180px; } by altering the code width: 180px lets me alters the available width of the categories box for my titles. This will not automatically change your categories box to the desired width, it is a manual thing which you will need to amend depending on your titles but it will serve me ok for what I need. Hope this helps someone. Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
