Highlight Categories once visited

[Brownangel]

Hello,

 

Does anyone know how to Highlight/Bold my Category Links once the customer clicks on the link to enable them differentiate what links they've visited and vice-versa.

You cauld add to catalog/stylesheet.css something like

A:visited {
 color:#6600FF;
 text-decoration:underline;
 font-weight:bold;
}

But that would change all of your links in your store. So you could define neww classes in the stylesheet and call that class in catalog/includes/boxes/categories.php like so.

stylesheet

A.cat_links {
 color: #000000;
 text-decoration: none;
}

A.cat_links:visited {
 color:#6600FF;
 text-decoration:underline;
 font-weight:bold;
}

A.cat_links:hover {
 color: #AABBDD;
 text-decoration: underline;
}

catalog/includes/boxes/categories.php find this code

	$categories_string .= '<a href="';
[/cdoe]
Change to
[code]
$categories_string .= '<a class="cat_links" href="';

You cauld add to catalog/stylesheet.css something like

$categories_string .= tep_href_link(FILENAME_HATS, $cPath_new) . '">';   } else {
    $categories_string .= tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, $cPath_new)

I changed the categoris string code. how do i make the edits. Code below

 

$categories_string .= tep_href_link(FILENAME_HATS, $cPath_new) . '">';   } else {
    $categories_string .= tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, $cPath_new)

 

Or is it the code below you want me to edit the a class to reflect the highlight code in stylesheet. Let me know

 

$categories_string .= '<img src="images/sign_link.jpg" width="13" height="14">  <a class="m11" href="';

if ($tree[$counter]['parent'] == 0) {

The one to change is the one you listed above. however you already have a class definition in there so redo links like so

A.m11 {
 color: #000000;
 text-decoration: none;
}

A.m11:visited {
 color:#6600FF;
 text-decoration:underline;
 font-weight:bold;
}

A.m11:hover {
 color: #AABBDD;
 text-decoration: underline;
}

This is the code that is bringing in the " m11 " class

$categories_string .= '<img src="images/sign_link.jpg" width="13" height="14">  <a class="m11" href="';

Thanks alot it works however I moved my Product list to a different page other than index.php where the categories is listed and so customers have to click a back button to go back to the categories page and the format is lost when do that - no highlight/bold other than that it works when my product listing is on index page
