I created static pages and have changed my code to keep them from showing up in my help zone. I created a new menu called new_menu.tpl:

{* $Id: pages_menu.tpl,v 1.5 2005/11/17 06:55:36 max Exp $ *}
{capture name=menu}
<div class="categories">
{include file="pages_menu.tpl"}
</div>
{/capture}
{ include file="menu.tpl" menu_title="" menu_content=$smarty.capture.menu }

I would like to include this file in my bottom.tpl file so that I have these items at the bottom of every page HOWEVER - it is displaying the links vertically with bullet - I want it to display horizontally with a | between each link.

How do I accomplish this? Thanks in advance.

You would need to alter pages_menu.tpl to use <span> tags instead of <div> tags or <br> tags.

I have that file open but I do not see any <div> or <br> tags to alter
here it is:

{* $Id: pages_menu.tpl,v 1.5 2005/11/17 06:55:36 max Exp $ *}
{section name=pg loop=$pages_menu}
{capture name=bullet}<a href="pages.php?pageid={$pages_menu[pg].pageid}" class="VertMenuItems">{$pages_menu[pg].title}</a> {/capture}{include file="customer/main/bullet.tpl" content=$smarty.capture.bullet}
{/section}

If I alter this, will it affect other menus?

Hmmm...that must be a custom skin as that is not a standard template.

[reachforlife]

Yes - it is the fashion mosiac skin

[balinor]

You need to specify these things when posting, it makes a HUGE difference

I am sorry - Thank you for your quick responses - I'll add it to my signature

Hi there...sorry I didn't get back to you, but please don't double post a question. I have removed your second post on this topic.

Post your customer/main/bullet.tpl template and I'll see what is causing it to be vertical.

Thanks for helping me with this -

Here is the files I am using:

<td class="BottomBox">
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr>

Thanks again for helping me with this.

Ok, let's try this first. Replace your entire bullet.tpl with this (make a backup of the old one first):

<span style="padding-right: 10px;">{$content}</span>

See if that gets them to go horizontal at least, then we'll play with the formatting.
