very nice mod no pictures

hi,

i copied this into my xcart version 4.011

The mod seems to work but i dont see the icons.

example: www.weckonline.nl/xcart

Can anyone help me please, because i like this visual very much.

A few things:

-Are your category icons in the database or the file system?
-If they are in the file system, make sure the permissions and htaccess file are correct on that folder
-Can you see the category icons in the admin area?

Very nice.

Works perfectly with 4.0.11 Gold with images in the file system.

I just looked at your website and it was the first time I have seen a Fashion Mosaic template used for real. It looks very nice and I like the colour scheme.

But my question is, I looked on the Register page that you have states for UK, Germany, France, USA etc. Now I know USA, Australia, UK and Canada have states supplied, but did you input the other states for other countries or is there a special list you got from somewhere?

As I would like to do a similiar thing for our new website, however I do not fancy spending how ever long typing each one in.

Cheers

Jez

hmmm

i got the states from this forum somewhere. but i forgot were.

I can always send you an sql dump from my database which has all the states.

Just let me know.

this on is for version 4.0.11

ok, i took an example from the forum, changed it to fit it into version 4.011, and it works fine. I also removed the hardcoded "Products" en replaced it with lbl_items so it will suite for every language.
For instance English=Item(s) German=Artikel Dutch=Artikel(en) etc.

Code:

{* $Id: subcategories.tpl,v 1.43.2.2 2004/10/07 07:08:51 max Exp $ *} 

{if $active_modules.Bestsellers ne "" and $config.Modules.bestsellers_menu ne "Y"} 





 

{include file="modules/Bestsellers/bestsellers.tpl"} 

{/if} 





 

{if ($navigation_page eq "")||($navigation_page eq "1")}{$current_category.description|regex_replace:"/[\n]/":"

"}



{/if} 

{capture name=dialog} 

{assign var="tmp" value="0"} 

{section name=cat_num loop=$subcategories} 

{if $subcategories[cat_num].category}{assign var="tmp" value="1"}{/if} 

{/section} 





{* ==================== Sub categories mod start *} 



{section name=cat_num loop=$subcategories} 

{ if %cat_num.first% } 

<table width="100%" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"> 

{/if} 

{ if %cat_num.index% is div by 2}

<a href="home.php?cat={ $subcategories[cat_num].categoryid }"> 

<font size="1">{ $subcategories[cat_num].category|escape }</font></a>

 

{ $subcategories[cat_num].description|escape }

{/if}

Modified your post using code tags, makes it much easier to read.
