More Space Between Category Links

[fan4chevy]

Anyone know how to give more spacing in between the category links? I want more space on the horizontal section between each of the links and have not been able to find it anywhere.

 

Thank you,

Charles,

 

In catalog>includes>boxes>categories.php you will find this code:

 

if (SHOW_COUNTS == 'true') {

$products_in_category = tep_count_products_in_category($counter);

if ($products_in_category > 0) {

$categories_string .= ' (' . $products_in_category . ')';

}

}

 

$categories_string .= '<br>';

 

if ($tree[$counter]['next_id'] != false) {

tep_show_category($tree[$counter]['next_id']);

}

}

 

 

This line:

 

$categories_string .= '<br>';

 

ads a line break between category names, so if you add ANOTHER <BR> to it, it will double space the Category names leaving more space between them.

 

 

I hope this is what you were looking for.

If you need more control than a line break, you can also use the css "line-height". You'll find lots of tutorials on the net.

If you want to fine tune it more than that to get smaller space than a br, you can add a css class to the categories and use css to specify exactly how much space you want.

 

Check out my posts in this thread for info on how to do that:

I tried to add another <br> but nothing happens.

Any suggestions?
