Guest Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 (edited) Hey mate, very nice contrib. I was wondering if we only wanted to add the bullet to the main cat and not the subs would this be possible? Also can we still have a seperate area of the stylesheet for the categories area so we can still make the font bigger and different colour text?

241 Posted May 21, 2004 Author Share Posted May 21, 2004 (edited) Choppy Yes this is possible you need to add a few lines of code to the categories.php around line 47 Locate the code $categories_string .= tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, $cPath_new); ? ?$categories_string .= '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'checkout_bullet.gif', '') . ' '; and change it to this if ($foo[$counter]['parent'] == 0) { ? ?$categories_string .= tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, $cPath_new); ? ?$categories_string .= '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'checkout_bullet.gif', '') . ' '; } else { $categories_string .= tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, $cPath_new); ? ?$categories_string .= '">'; } and heres a freebie if you want a different image for the sub categories make the replacement code this if ($foo[$counter]['parent'] == 0) { ? ?$categories_string .= tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, $cPath_new); ? ?$categories_string .= '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'checkout_bullet.gif', '') . ' '; } else { $categories_string .= tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, $cPath_new); ? ?$categories_string .= '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'arrow_green.gif', '') . ' '; } You can change the images to whatever you want and you can still use your css Edited May 21, 2004 by 241 Quote No longer giving free advice. Please place deposit in meter slot provided.

Guest Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 I have installets the add bullet image contribution and there is a blue border around the each image. How do I go about removing that. www.needlepointbackbay.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
241 Posted May 21, 2004 Author Share Posted May 21, 2004 I went to your site however could not see any installed contribution. I believe that the blue border issue is browser specific as I do not see this myself in either I.E.6 or mozilla, however this can be resolved by making borders=0 Quote No longer giving free advice.

Guest Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 Is there a way to change the font colour directly inside the categories.php file? I have modified the cart so much that the left categories box is using gray writing as through the rest of the MAIN A area of the stylesheet.. I want it to be white text and bold. Without affecting the whole cart. The simplest method i would think would be insert the code directly into the categories.php the reason i ask is because im using your contribution and i think since i added it is when it changed the colours etc. Regards Phillip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
241 Posted May 31, 2004 Author Share Posted May 31, 2004 (edited) Choppy The only discrepency is that I have used a capital I instead of a lower case i in two instances new InfoBoxHeading($info_box_contents, true, false); should read new infoBoxHeading($info_box_contents, true, false); also new InfoBox($info_box_contents); should read new infoBox($info_box_contents); The install was carried out on a default oscommerce 2.2MS2 however had been implimented in another install with a modified stylesheet. the code as it stands gives the default black text and light blue hyperlink, which is the standard throughout a default install and is controlled in the stylesheet. If changing the capital I to lowercase i does not resolve your issue then your issue is not with this contribution, however is very easily rectified.

pewe Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 I have tried this contribution and find that the Categories 'Tree' indents a second level category, but third level categories default back to the left. It would be preferable to have the third level located under the second level but with a different colour bullet image. Does anyone who has used this contribution know if this is possible, and if so how to change it? Contibution here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
241 Posted June 9, 2004 Author Share Posted June 9, 2004 (edited) There is a support thread for this contribution located here Categories Box Bullet and Line (Support). You could ask a moderator to move this thread to that support area whereby any answer given will then be easily accessible to others wishing to use the contribution and where others using the contribution may be tracking and able to help. You would need to post the code that you have for that box as I get this on a default osCommerce setup with the contribution. Categories? Hardware ? ? CDROM Drives ? ? Graphics Cards ? ? ? ? Test Graphics 3 ? ? Keyboards ? ? Memory ? ? Mice ? ? Monitors ? ? Printers ? ? Speakers This shows the third level category clearly set in from the second level category Edited June 9, 2004 by 241 Quote No longer giving free advice. Please place deposit in meter slot provided.

pewe Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 Thanks 241, I'll repost to the correct thread - half asleep today and missed it. Strange though, I used the 'categories.php' supplied with the contribution, so not sure why I get something different to what you get!! Thanks again Pewe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pewe Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 Now I'm in the right thread, I'll try again. I used the standard 'categories.php' that came with the contribution and the only mod I have done to it is the one shown above for using a different bullet for the sub-categories. The problem can be seen here The Category 'Kitchens - vinyl doors' has two subcategories 'Base units Hi-line' and 'Base Units Drawer Line' which both have a third level 'for single and double doors. The third level is left justified instead of indented. Anyone any ideas on how to fix this? If needed i can post the code, but it is quite long. is there any part of it which would be useful?

241 Posted June 9, 2004 Author Share Posted June 9, 2004 pewe this is what I see when I view your link Categories Kitchens - Vinyl Doors Base Units Drawerline Drawer-Line Double Door Drawer-Line Single Door Base Units Hi-line which is correct, with the third category level indented, not left justified. I would change the images though as I only used those for demo purposes, a visual aid if you like. Quote No longer giving free advice. Please place deposit in meter slot provided.

pewe Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 (edited) Thanks Steve, I found out what the problem is. If I use IE it looks correct, but I normally use Mozilla Firefox and thats where the problem lies. I'm not sure if there is a fix to correct that as I'm not too familiar with the differences. Thanks for the comment regarding the images, but this is just a development copy, the live store is on a different link and when I transfer the contributions I 'tidy' them up. pewe Edited June 10, 2004 by pewe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allow for a slightly wider box to accommodate the text characters and image as you have long category names when spread across multi-levels. Also look at the way I.E. breaks the constraint of the box in comparison to Mozilla. Edited June 10, 2004 by 241 Quote No longer giving free advice. Please place deposit in meter slot provided.

Guest Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 I have installed the catagories_bullets conttribution......... Thank you for you efforts: A couple questions: 1. THere is a border around each of the bullets. I would like to eliminate them. Looking at the code, it appears the bullet is part of the link. Therefore, the image is also underlined. How do I go about eliminating the border. Secondly, the "other button is appearing for the top of the catagory. How do I rectify this.

241 Posted June 10, 2004 Author Share Posted June 10, 2004 (edited) tcjay I notice that you are not using the line part of the contribution, so therefore you must have changed the code. I also notice that you do not support osCommerce on your site. A view source shows the issue in that the borders are not set to 0 to which I replied before.

pewe Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 Steve, Just a quick note to say that your suggestion I think you would hit this issue anyway due to width constrants of the box, a suggestion would be to take out an worked a treat.
