Shan, that worked very well, but It does not give me the control over the appearance of the cats & sub cats like I need. The mod will display like this:
Cat 1
Sub cat 1a
Sub cat 1b
Sub cat 1c
Cat 2
sub cat 2a
sub cat 2b
sub cat 2c
Cat 3
sub cat 3a
sub cat 3b
sub cat 3c
However, I really need to have controll over the
look of the categories vs. the sub catagories. In other words, lets say I want to have all of the categories show up in a 14pt Bold typeface, but I want all of the sub cats to be 12pt regular. I know this can be done via CSS, but because I am currently looping the entire list as shown above, I have no control over those parameters.
That's why I bought the Fancy Categories module. I had hoped that I would gain control over the styles of the cats vs the sub cats. With Fancy Cats, I was able to display all of the cats & sub cats by default (with control over the styles), but when the user clicks on a sub cat, the list doubles up on the sub cats for the parent. Like this: (this is what I get when you click on a sub cat. In this case, it could have been 1a, 1b or 1c)
Cat 1
Sub cat 1a
Sub cat 1b
Sub cat 1c
Sub cat 1a
Sub cat 1b
Sub cat 1c
Cat 2
sub cat 2a
sub cat 2b
sub cat 2c
Cat 3
sub cat 3a
sub cat 3b
sub cat 3c
I am still trying to figure this out so if anyone has any input, please chime in!
Thanks,
Piper
