I would suspect this is an easy one... indent question

jeebus · October 13, 2007

I just installed a new template and I'm trying to change the subcategories so they show indented once the main category is clicked on.

example

Before you click on the main category it looks like this:

Fitness->

Football

Heart Rate Monitors

Once the Fitness category is clicked the subcategories are displayed like this:

Fitness->

first sub

second sub

Football

Heart Rate Monitors

What I'm looking for is the subcategories to be indented like this:

Fitness->

- first sub

- second sub

Football

Heart Rate Monitors

I do not know where to change this. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Anyone?

That's the way the categories are usually displayed. But apparently your template has overwritten the categories box somehow, so it doesn't do it anymore. Since I don't know how your categories.php looks like I can't show you the way it could be done.

Here you are... I messed with this for hours yesterday and I couldn't get it too work.... however I don't have many skills when it comes to this.

Thanks for your help.
