HELP: Applying Infobox Logic to the sub category listings???

[Snowman]

Just wondered if anyone has a bit of code that will allow me to put the subcategories that are listed on a page within an infobox rather than the way they are now...

 

Ive tried to modify the code in default.php but i just cant seem to get it to work right...

 

Any help would be most appreciative.

 

I would assume this is the code:

 

<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2">

             <tr>

<?php

   if ($cPath && ereg('_', $cPath)) {

// check to see if there are deeper categories within the current category

     $category_links = array_reverse($cPath_array);

     for($i=0; $i<sizeof($category_links); $i++) {

       $categories_query = tep_db_query("select c.categories_id, cd.categories_name, c.categories_image, c.parent_id from " . TABLE_CATEGORIES . " c, " . TABLE_CATEGORIES_DESCRIPTION . " cd where c.categories_status = '1' and c.parent_id = '" . $category_links[$i] . "' and c.categories_id = cd.categories_id and cd.language_id = '" . $languages_id . "' order by sort_order, cd.categories_name");

       if (tep_db_num_rows($categories_query) < 1) {

         // do nothing, go through the loop

       } else {

         break; // we've found the deepest category the customer is in

       }

     }

   } else {

     $categories_query = tep_db_query("select c.categories_id, cd.categories_name, c.categories_image, c.parent_id from " . TABLE_CATEGORIES . " c, " . TABLE_CATEGORIES_DESCRIPTION . " cd where c.categories_status = '1' and c.parent_id = '" . $current_category_id . "' and c.categories_id = cd.categories_id and cd.language_id = '" . $languages_id . "' order by sort_order, cd.categories_name");

   }



   $rows = 0;

   while ($categories = tep_db_fetch_array($categories_query)) {

     $rows++;

     $cPath_new = tep_get_path($categories['categories_id']);

     $width = (100 / MAX_DISPLAY_CATEGORIES_PER_ROW) . '%';

     echo '                <td align="center" class="smallText" style="width: ' . $width . '" valign="top"><a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, $cPath_new, 'NONSSL') . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $categories['categories_image'], $categories['categories_name'], SUBCATEGORY_IMAGE_WIDTH, SUBCATEGORY_IMAGE_HEIGHT) . '<br>' . $categories['categories_name'] . '</a>' . "n";

     if ((($rows / MAX_DISPLAY_CATEGORIES_PER_ROW) == floor($rows / MAX_DISPLAY_CATEGORIES_PER_ROW)) && ($rows != tep_db_num_rows($categories_query))) {

       echo '              </tr>' . "n";

       echo '              <tr>' . "n";

     }

   }

?>

             </tr>

           </table>

 

What i want to do is create an infobox that displays the sub categories in a line by line fashion inside an infobox

 

so the categories would look like:

 

subcategory1, subcategory2, subcategory3 , subcategory4 ,subcategory5

subcategory6, subcategory7, subcategory8 , subcategory9, subcategory10

 

and so on....

 

If someone could knock up a bit of code id be most appreciative

for($i=0; $i<sizeof($category_links); $i++) {

 

$categories_query = tep_db_query("select c.categories_id, cd.categories_name, c.categories_image, c.parent_id from " . TABLE_CATEGORIES . " c, " . TABLE_CATEGORIES_DESCRIPTION .

}

 

 

 

$rows = 0;

 

while ($categories = tep_db_fetch_array($categories_query)) {

 

$rows++;

 

$cPath_new = tep_get_path($categories['categories_id']);

 

$width = (100 / MAX_DISPLAY_CATEGORIES_PER_ROW) . '%';

 

echo ' <a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, $cPath_new, 'NONSSL') . '">' . $categories['categories_name'] . '</a><br>' . "";

 

if ((($rows / MAX_DISPLAY_CATEGORIES_PER_ROW) == floor($rows / MAX_DISPLAY_CATEGORIES_PER_ROW)) && ($rows != tep_db_num_rows($categories_query))) {

 

echo ' </tr>' . "";

 

echo ' <tr>' . "";
