Arrows as pictures instead of textarrows

[porrier]

Hello!

 

One more question I have. In the old shop I had built in nice litte coloured triangels on the left of the categoriesnames, the module was called categoriesbox-neco_mod_v1.1.

 

I assume that does not work anymore with shop version 2.3.4 because there is no includes/boxes/ anymore to copy the included categories.php to.

 

Is there a similar module available for oscommerce version 2.3.4?

 

Regards

Are you talking about the -> in category lists?

 

I searched version 2.3.4 with findstr, and found this in /catalog/includes/modules/boxes/bm_categories.php:

$categories_string = '->';

Change it to something like

$categories_string = '<img src="images/arrow.gif" />';

I think I've seen that done before. Search the forum, looking for ->. Obviously, the location and name of the image will vary.

There is also font awesome

 

you can <i class="fa fa-angle-right"></i>

 

no image to worry about and you can style it in your css.

i haven't tested the above but in theory it should work

I don't know how to realise your recommendation. If I set this in includes/modules/boxes/bm_categories.php

$categories_string .= '<i class="fa fa-angle-right"></i>';

the testarrow disappears but what about this font?

Sorry i expect you are on a different version to mine.

For font awesome to work you need to add

<link rel="stylesheet" href="//maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.4.0/css/font-awesome.min.css">

into your template top or header.

This is already included in the BS version of oscommece.

You can see what font awesome can do here

 

https://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/

 

you can then call it just about anywhere using <i class="fa fa-nameoficon"></i>

also can be used on buttons in the BS version of oscommerce.
