Weird Problem

[Guest]

Hey guys,

 

I have this weird problem. I am trying to remove the -> from the categories box and also trying to add a bullet before the category items. The weird thing is that, once I remove the -> everything is fine until I click on one of the categories, then it comes back .... Also, the icons dont work the first time, you have to click on something and they show up. You can see my problem at www.trendsandgadgets.com

 

Thanks for your help.

To remove the "->" :

 

/catalog/includes/boxes/categories.php (line 43)

$categories_string .= '->';

delete ->

so it becomes:

$categories_string .= '';

 

To add your image for each category:

/catalog/includes/boxes/categories.php (line 29)

$categories_string .= '">';

add <img... after anchor close

so it becomes:

$categories_string .= '"><img src="http://www.trendsandgadgets.com/images/r_arrow.gif" border="0" height="11" width="11">';

Thanks for the quick response and the detail of the reply. I really appreciate your time to help me. I was wondering if you could possibly take a look at the site again. I have made those changes, but now, the -> comes back from nowhere ... also, the images dont show up all the time, and if you navigate the categories, at certain points, they all dissappear....

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks

Well, if you've removed the "->" then the "->" should not be displaying.. unless you entered the -> with the category text name (in admin)

Also, the only other thing I can think of is your browser cache AND your php cache. Do you have cache enabled in the admin? Turn it off.. and test it that way.. or rebuild the cached copy of categories.php

I definately didnt enter the -> with the admin tool. Also, I dont know why all my categories are messed up now. After a few clicks, the all vanish.

 

Im in a tought spot right now.
