Main categories font larger and bold?

[bluemaverick]

I looked all over and cannot find a solution for this and my last post seems to confused some people. I am making this one to ask a more specific question! THANKS!!!

 

I am trying to get the Main categories font larger and bold? Please help!!!

 

Here is the site I am workign on

If by "Main categories," you mean the entries in the categories box, you will need to edit the A class in the stylesheet.css file (although that will change all of your links). I don't want to go into too much detail since it is unclear as to what you want.

Change all the top Categories to bold, no include the sub-categories, thanks

[Jack_mcs]

In the includes/boxes/categories.php file, file this code (in two places)

	if (isset($cPath_array) && in_array($counter, $cPath_array)) {

and change it to

if (isset($cPath_array) && in_array($counter, $cPath_array) || $tree[$counter]['parent'] == 0) {

done, but no font changed (hoping for bold) on the top categories. Any other advices?

[Jack_mcs]

As long as you are using a stock categories file, that should have worked - does here.

change this bit:

 

$categories_string .= tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, $cPath_new) . '">';

 

to this:

 

$categories_string .= tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, $cPath_new) . '" class="categories">';

 

Create a link class in your stylesheet called "categories":

 

a.categories {font-family....etc}

a.categories:hover {font-family....etc}

$categories_string .= tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, $cPath_new) . '">';

a.categories:hover {font-family....etc}

 

could i do a simular thing, but instead of making the category stand out, I would like to make the SUBcategory stand out?

 

many thanks
