Change the way tables are formated?


Guest

Recommended Posts

I would like to change the way the catogeries table is formated. Currently the catogeries are listed in a conventional menu manner (<br />), I would prefer to list the catogeries horizontal accross the screen, with out the catogeries header or using the pixel gif.

 

as

 

Hardware (2) software (5) DVD's (9) etc

 

I have traked the script through to catogereies.php but at this stage I am a bit stuck.

 

Is there any one out there who can give me some advice.

 

Thanks

This can be done easily with the new categoryTree class that is in CVS. Something like this should get you started:

 

  $osC_CategoryTree = new osC_CategoryTree;
 $osC_CategoryTree->setMaximumLevel(1);
 $osC_CategoryTree->setCategoryPath($cPath, '<font color="#ff0000">', '</font>');
 $osC_CategoryTree->setParentGroupString('', '');
 $osC_CategoryTree->setChildString('', '   ');
 $osC_CategoryTree->setShowCategoryProductCount(true);
 echo $osC_CategoryTree->buildTree();

Thanks Harald :

 

I will start here. I am new to OSC and to PHP, I find the osc site and community boards really helpful, I agree with some of those who have made contributions that the problem with OSC (if there is one) is that you can tell a OSC shop a mile away by the generic nature of the base program.

I have always strived to make my HTML site unique or even bespoke (I design sites as a hobby), and therefore before I unleash my attempt at an e-commerce on the world I am trying to 're-design' the look and feel.

I threw myself straight into the code and started to get out of my depths, since then I have purchased a few books on PHP and visited the odd site, It is amazing how soon you can start to get a grips with pre-written code, although it is more difficult to write from scratch!

If there are newbies out there all I can say is do not get dishearted when you hit a brick if you can not find the answer on a board there is always a nice OSCer out there to help you.
