Turn product categories into infoboxes?

[cavy]

I would like to have product categories display as separate infoboxes and have any subcategories listed in them. Is there a contribution to do something like this? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

 

You might try the infobox skin manager

 

Infobox Skin Manager

 

I took the included skin_top.php and skin_bottom.php and made skin.php with two functions openSkin(x) and closeSkin(x).

 

Now I can put boxes anywhere like so.

 

openSkin(1);

echo $myContent;

closeSkin(1);

 

As for the subcategories I think you can just cut some code out of the categories box.

Thank you! I'll give it a try.

 

I have seen alot of stores that have lists of categories instead of the default nested ones. Is that an OsCommerce option, contribution or custom programming?
