Is there a way to change color in subcategory names?

[kabuto_666]

In the Category listing box, is there a way to change the subcategory text to a different color then the main category names? (and potentially a different color for each category level on the tree?)

I made the following changes to categories.php:

 

line 17: $categories_string .= '<font color="#FF9933">??<b>--</b>';

line 46: $categories_string .= '</a></font>';

 

That give me a "--" in orange but not the subcategory names even though a view source give me the correct line...

 

like this: <font color="#FF9933">??<b>--</b><a href="http://www.xxxxxx.com/index.php?cPath=41_60">MJ Metals</a></font>?(5)

 

 

Any ideas?

the a href overrides your font setting I think. It takes the stysheet class for a link ...

 

If you want to make each cat a different color, I usggest adding a field to the database and pulling it along with the cat name in the query, and using that.

 

I've made a similar thing for a product listing display where the background is the category color ...

I was having the same problem for quite some time, however i did manage to find a solution.

 

In my file this code is found on lines 59 and 60

 

Change this

 

// display category name

$categories_string .= '.$tree[$counter]['name'];

$categories_string .= '</a>';

 

To This

 

// display category name

$categories_string .= '<font color="#000000">'.$tree[$counter]['name'];

$categories_string .= '</a></font>';

 

Hope this helps
