Style of category listing

[macangelo]

Where do I define the appearance of the category listing? I found out where to exchange the folder image. But where is the style for the words?



thanks a lot

It's in template files. See inside /themes/kosmos/setting.php

/*===================================================
  category appearance
===================================================*/

$cat_table_width        = "100%";
$cat_cellspacing        = "3";
$cat_link_style         = "font-size: 11px; color: #000000;";
$cat_path_link_style    = "font-size: 11px; color: #000000;";
$subcat_link_style      = "font-size: 11px; color: #000000;";
$category_separator     = " > ";
$number_of_links_format = " <font color=\"#000000\"><b>(<%\$number_of_links%>)</b></font>";
$number_of_links_format_search_result = " ";
$cat_columns            = 2;
$max_sub_cat            = 5;
$cat_default_image      = $site_url.'/themes/'.$active_theme.'/images/folder.gif';
$cat_description_format = "<a style=\"{font-size: 11px; color: #567E96;}\"><%\$cat_description%></a>";

Thanks!

I´m also having trouble with this. I can´t get rid of the icon "folder.gif". I´m trying to use "transparent.gif", but the category tree keeps showing "folder.gif". Other changes, like font-size etc works fine.

I would also like to be able to minimize the space between each category row. I was thinking something like a padding with a negative value, but that´s not allowed.

$cat_link_style = "font-size: 11px; color: #000000; padding: -10px;";

Hi mphed,

Did you try to replace the file "folder.gif" - it worked for me (I did it before I realized I can set a folder image file in

$cat_default_image      = $site_url.'/themes/'.$active_theme.'/images/folder.gif';

)

did you try to change the value for cellspacing to minimize the distance between the rows?

$cat_cellspacing        = "3";

They should add up to extra 6 pixel...

Best

You can make it empty

$cat_default_image      = '';

Dody´s example should definitely work, but it doesn´t. The source code still gives me

name="cat_1"><img src="themes/current/images/folder.gif" border="0" alt="" / 

I also emptied the cache. Still can´t change that folder-image. Please advice.

After you do Dody's example, you have to edit every category in the Admin section and empty the field where it says folder.gif.

If your just trying to change the folder image to another image, just go to themes/current/images/ and delete the folder.gif, then upload your transparent.gif, then rename that to folder.gif and you should be good to go.

I'm sorry, it may because I use the latest development version (www.nicecoder.com/svn). You can make $cat_default_image empty. If you use 5.3.0, you may follow HTW solution above with transparent image.
