In Catagoreis Dropdown:

[rbartz]

The Catagories Dropdown (version 2) contributed by David Watkins is great, just what I needed... :)

 

However, the output drops down with "  " ahead of all the subcatagory names instead of two spaces. :(

 

I know that " " is a space, but I cannot find where it is inserted in the display string...

 

I'd like to use this piece of code, but need it to display spaces instead of the code... has anyone figured it out yet?

 

Thanks

I can't seem to find Catagories Dropdown (version 2) contributed by David Watkins - can anyone tell me where it is please?

Just have the same problem, but not all items. Quite strange as I don't know from where it comes.

Did you do a search on this BB for "drop AND down AND categories" ?? Searching for previous posts really do save you & me both time.

Also FWIW,

 

This will fix the same bug in the advanced search categories dropdown.

 

I think the developers are working on a more elequent solution to this problem.. but I dunno.

Harald has fixed this in the CVS.

 

Changes to includes/functions/html_output.php

 

One other thing of note is that if USE_CACHE == 'true') && !SID then you still get the original tiered text listings. This can taken care of by removing the cache check OR modifying the tep_cache_categories_box()

 

Go for the commenting out of the cache check ;)

Thanks, hobbzilla, changing my html_output.php to bring it up to version 1.45 did the trick. Good job, Harald! Your work is amazing.

 

For others who want to use spaces in those dropdowns, the CVS URL for seeing the differences between version 1.44 and 1.45 is:

 

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs...r1=1.44&r2=1.45

 

To see the CVS on html_output.php go to

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs...html_output.php

 

You could download it, or just enter the differences in case you have modified your version of html_output.php.
