Problem with Long Category Names

Recommended Posts

Is there a way so that osCommerce will add extra spaces if a category name in the category box continues to a second line? I have a number of categories that are just too long to fit, and when they carry down to the second line that are all the way against the left border. Is there a way to align the second line with the first, so that they look better? Please :)

Hi John,

 

there is no need for another contribution. For those who have worked with HTML in the old days (and not with Dreamweaver, Fusion or Frontpage), the problem is pretty simple.

 

Edit catalog/includes/application_top.php

 

Go to the line that says ('BOX_WIDTH', 125) or the number you have in there. Replace it with 0. This tells the box to be as small as possible.

 

If you have only one word in yout caterory description, there should't be a problem. If you have more than one word, use   instead of space. Don't use -, it will force a line break.

 

This works perfect for me, my categories look like lined in a table structure. Let me know if this solved your problem.

 

Greetings, Michael

HI Michael,

 

I got the same problem, but I can't find ('BOX_WIDTH', 125) or ('BOX_WIDTH', xxx) in catalog/includes/application_top.php

 

My store oscommerce version 2.3.1, it may be difference structure with other version.

 

Could I align it at the same vertical line with CSS ? something like " display " ? " display " or " css display inline-block " ?

 

Thanks a lot for your big help!

 

Best regards,

Paul Chan
