How can I...change the color of the subcategory inside "Categories"

[huntwolfe]

I have been fairly successful at customizing everything I feel is needing attention until now.

 

I want to get the selected subcategory to be highlighted in a different color so that users will see more readily the category that they are presently in.

 

As an example;

 

Category 1

Category 2

Category 3

Subcategory 1

Subcategory 2

(this is the category that you are currently in)

Subcategory 3

Category 4

Category 5

 

I did find the portion of code within the "catalog/included/boxes/categories.php" that shows the command to make the subcategory BOLD, and, to me, this would be a logical place to overide the .boxText class, and select a new class for that particular portion, then set back to normal, but I don't know how.

 

Is this making sense? Let me know what you think.

 

Thanks

Have you tried changing that <B> tag to a <font color=red> tag? I don't know if it will override the style or not..

Thank you for the reply and idea.

 

I have tried adding a span style, and it created a T_STRING error.

 

I used the following code, <span style='color:"red"'> , but I did not substitute the bold tag, I simply added it afterward.

 

Let me know your ideas.

 

Thank you.

Thank you.

That's because you are nesting single quotes inside the php code....

THAT'S IT!!!! You rock. Thank you for the tip. I added the code<span style= color:"red"> after the <b>, with a </span style> after the </b> and it works perfect.

Hello,

 

This looks like exactly what I'd like to do... style the subcategories differently. Would you mind posting a bit more information about exactly what I'd need to edit in categories.php? Thank you.
