Guest Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 Category(indent) - Sub Category (indent)(indent) - Sub category Isn't the default osc behavior just like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 Isn't the default osc behavior just like this? The template I'm using indents the first category. Then ALL sub categorys are on the same level. Example of how it is now: PRODUCT (indent) - subcategory1 (indent) - subcategory1a how it should be. PRODUCT (indent) - subcategory1 (indent)(indent) - subcatergory1a when subcategory1 is clicked, subcategory1a appears, but on the SAME level as sub1. It should be indented instead. I've got a test site going at www.twilightpics.com/osc "roller shades" is the product, and you can see what happens with the sub categories.

Guest Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 hmm, I don't see it being on the same level. I see >>Cellular <space>-Comfortex so there is an indent there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 Right.. that is okay.. but click comfortex, you'll see what I mean the sub category for comfortex doesn't indent again.. it's on the same level as comfortex I have no idea why it's doing this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 yea I see so you should check the categories box. probably in catalog\includes\boxes\categories.php Perhaps the indent stops after the first level. Did you ask the ppl who did the template about it? Because the default osc inserts the spacing on every level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 trying to get hold of them now. is it possible for you post the original categories.php file on here.. or link me to it? one more thing, i've been making changes to the categories.php file Ii have, and when I test it on the site.. there is no changes. I even deleted the .php file at one point, and the site still functioned fine. Is it possible that it is my categories would be cotrolled someplace else? Thanks again -Jrock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 yes probably that's the reason its somewhere else. You can get the entire osc from the solutions->downloads menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 I'm going to bump this up and see if i can get some new input tonight, thanks everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 I just about busted a nut. I fixed it finally. Here is what was wrong incase anyone else runs into the same problem: in catalog/includes/header.php around line 254 this is what was there: for($i=0;$i<$tree[$counter]['le vel'];$i++) $categories_string .= ' '; notice the space in ['level'] Remove the space so it's like this for($i=0;$i<$tree[$counter]['level'];$i++) $categories_string .= ' '; solved my problem, I'm going to go clean up the mess I left after trying to solve this one.

Guest Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 nice one: http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=172289 probably the template bug kept propagating :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 Cool, thanks for passing that on. I've reported the bug to Templatemonsters. com. NOW i'm trying to adjust so what ever level of categories are selected, they're in bold. Like so: product (space) - product1 or product (space) - product1 (space)(space) - product1a (space)(space) - product1b (space) - product2 (space) - product3 Any thoughts enigma1?

ripthesystem Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 any luck with getting the subcats in bold? I'm at the same place now. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 any luck with getting the subcats in bold? I'm at the same place now. Thanks! ripthesystem, I'm still working on that part. I found a contribution that bolds your current location in the categories. However it is set up to work with "categories.php" I need to to work with "header.php" I'll keep you posted. Let me know if you've discoverd something. -Jrock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
