If you look in the really long line that starts with:


You will see:


There should be no space between the 'w' and the 'e' in web.

Great Little mod, i have this workng a treat on 4.1.8, is there a way to have it 4 columns across raether than just the 2 ?

Re: Subcategory text & images for x-cart 4.1.5
 

Nice little find, It worked right away on 4.1.6. Changed to 3 wide.

{foreach from=$subcategories item=subcat}
{if $tmp is div by 3}

Don't forget about adding to the skin1 css file.

/* Catagory Display Rework
*/
.ColumnTitles {
margin: 0;
padding: 5px 5px 0 5px;
text-align: center;
width: 33%;
}

.ItemsList {
padding: 0;
color: #374C79;
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 12px;
}

After changing the width to 3 across, any help on having the text displaying the number of products display below the category name instead of after it? I have several category names that are long and the number of products breaks apart. Image attached.

kevin02,

I've deleted the word 'products' from my code, and just have the number quantity of subcatagories in parenthesis display.

Here is the post I did for v4.1.8 and you can see the screenshots of the way it displays without the word 'products'.

But if you do need the quantity and the word 'products' on the next line, then all you need to do is put a <br> tag at the end of the line of code that says:


so the code will look like this:

And that's it!

Be sure to use <span> tags and not <font> tags, as font tags are now depreciated and should not be used.

Thanks for the information, It worked perfect.

Re: Subcategory text & images for x-cart 4.1.5
 

FONT element deprecated in HTML 4.01, thanks balinor. I'll keep that in mind.

One question though, is it bad programming practice to use the <br> tag instead of the <br/> in the line of code I used above?

Even though they both do the same thing, should I use a <br/> tag to break a paragraph and the <br> tag to enter blank lines?

Or does it really matter?

To kevin02, glad you got it working.

It depends on what doctype you are using. 4.1 uses XHTML 1.0 Transitional by default, which means you need to use <br /> and also close every IMG tag with a /. You can read up on the standards here:

You should also validate your site using their validator, and fix any issues.
