Adding template style to box

Ronny · December 6, 2006

I posted this under Template And Images but not sure if that was the right section.

I bought an osCommerce template a while back an have done som editing to it.

The template came without the information box installed so I did what I could to make it appear.

I figured out how to do this but I would like for this box to look like the category box. Don´t know what the people who made the templates did to generate this look.

One thing I found out is that includes/boxes/category.php is not included i includes/column_left.php so the coding is obviously somewhere else.

Here´s an image of what I mean.

Here´s the column_left.php

Is the reference to the style/look anywhere to find here?

And if so.....

Please help :'(

no, it is set where the infobox styles are defined.

Personaly I did not like the intire infobox structure all over the site and restyled all the used boxes manually

(no tables used, more css).

edit: as found in includes/boxes/...

no, it is set where the infobox styles are defined.

That´s true but in this case category.php is not the sourse for the category in column_left.php.

I can delete category.php and nothing happens.

I found that the images used are defined in style.css. But I can´t find any file regarding the category box with a link to the css file.

I´m considering makeing a table from scratch and paste the links from information.php and link this new file to the css. Not the best way but something I can manage :blush:
