how can i change the categories page?

[discojacob]

hi i was wondering how i can change the style of the categories page (where you click on a category and it shows you a list of all the products). I know it has to do with catalog/index.php but i cant find it. Also if i could add a lightbox to the thumbnails it would be good, thanks.

:thumbsup:

do you know the php language? sound to me no!

 

you will find the following code:

<td><table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2">
	<tr>
<?php
if (isset($cPath) && strpos('_', $cPath)) {
// check to see if there are deeper categories within the current category
	$category_links = array_reverse($cPath_array);
	for($i=0, $n=sizeof($category_links); $i<$n; $i++) {
	$categories_query = tep_db_query("select count(*) as total from " . TABLE_CATEGORIES . " c, " . TABLE_CATEGORIES_DESCRIPTION . " cd where c.parent_id = '" . (int)$category_links[$i] . "' and c.categories_id = cd.categories_id and cd.language_id = '" . (int)$languages_id . "'");
	$categories = tep_db_fetch_array($categories_query);
	if ($categories['total'] < 1) {
	// do nothing, go through the loop
	} else {
	$categories_query = tep_db_query("select c.categories_id, cd.categories_name, c.categories_image, c.parent_id from " . TABLE_CATEGORIES . " c, " . TABLE_CATEGORIES_DESCRIPTION . " cd where c.parent_id = '" . (int)$category_links[$i] . "' and c.categories_id = cd.categories_id and cd.language_id = '" . (int)$languages_id . "' order by sort_order, cd.categories_name");
	break; // we've found the deepest category the customer is in
	}
	}
} else {
	$categories_query = tep_db_query("select c.categories_id, cd.categories_name, c.categories_image, c.parent_id from " . TABLE_CATEGORIES . " c, " . TABLE_CATEGORIES_DESCRIPTION . " cd where c.parent_id = '" . (int)$current_category_id . "' and c.categories_id = cd.categories_id and cd.language_id = '" . (int)$languages_id . "' order by sort_order, cd.categories_name");
}

$number_of_categories = tep_db_num_rows($categories_query);

$rows = 0;
while ($categories = tep_db_fetch_array($categories_query)) {
	$rows++;
	$cPath_new = tep_get_path($categories['categories_id']);
	$width = (int)(100 / MAX_DISPLAY_CATEGORIES_PER_ROW) . '%';
	echo ' 	<td align="center" class="smallText" width="' . $width . '" valign="top"><a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, $cPath_new) . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $categories['categories_image'], $categories['categories_name'], SUBCATEGORY_IMAGE_WIDTH, SUBCATEGORY_IMAGE_HEIGHT) . '<br>' . $categories['categories_name'] . '</a></td>' . "\n";
	if ((($rows / MAX_DISPLAY_CATEGORIES_PER_ROW) == floor($rows / MAX_DISPLAY_CATEGORIES_PER_ROW)) && ($rows != $number_of_categories)) {
	echo ' 	</tr>' . "\n";
	echo ' 	<tr>' . "\n";
	}
}

// needed for the new products module shown below
$new_products_category_id = $current_category_id;
?>
	</tr>
	</table></td>
	</tr>
