categories with <ul> tag

[yusuf84]

i want categories with <ul> tag . I made the changes for separate boxes for each top category. But i couldnt find the code which produces table, tr,td tags because i want to change them for ul listing. I have no clue where i will start.

 

 

<ul>

<h3>categories1</h3>

<li>sub cat.</li>

<li>sub cat.</li>

...

<ul/>

 

<ul>

<h3>categories2</h3>

<li>sub cat.</li>

<li>sub cat.</li>

...

</ul>

I'll be waiting your instructions...

here we go, open categories.php in includes/boxes and do next:

 

1. find global $tree, $categories_string, $cPath_array; and add $categories_string .= '<li>'; under it. Remove or comment out

 

for ($i=0; $i<$tree[$counter]['level']; $i++) {

$categories_string .= "  ";

}

 

2. find $categories_string .= '<br>'; and replace with $categories_string .= '</li>';

 

3. find new infoBoxHeading($info_box_contents, true, false); and under this you should see $categories_string = '';, replace $categories_string = ''; with $categories_string .= '<ul>';

 

4. find tep_show_category($first_element); and under this add $categories_string .= '</ul>';

 

and you should have nice listing. now google it for more help with optimization...
