Hi Balinor,

Thanks for your help, unfortunately that code creates a new set problems.

Using what you supplied duplicated everything in the vert menu box so I did this


<table cellspacing="1" width="100%" class="VertMenuBorder">
<tr>
<td class="VertMenuTitle">{$menu_title}</td></tr>
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%"><tr>
<tr>
<td class="VertMenuBox">
<table cellpadding="{$cellpadding|default:"5"}" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
<tr><td>{$menu_content}<br /></td></tr>
</table>
</td></tr>
</table>


Which gets me closer but it cutts off the title in the category section of the vert menu. when I check the page.


Ex. it should bre saying

Prints-water and boats

but instead says

prints-water and....

its truncated the title.

also tried your second code sample which I agree is cleaner but gave me the same results, ( duplicating listings) but liked it as it is much cleaner code.

Thoughts about why its truncating the title?




Thanks

Scott

PS- I know why I am working, but why are you, its too nice of a day here to be banging away on this stuff.

Your code is not correct...if you look at the tables, you can't have a table tag after a tr tag. My code is correct, did you cut and paste it directly into menu.tpl? Did you clear the template cache after you made the change?

[fotodog13]

See what you mean ,
will try it again,

yes cleared the cache and pasted it directly into the menu.tpl

[fotodog13]

I stand corrected your code works fine, I must have done something incorrect the first time I used it, however the truncating I mentioned above is still happening.

To be sure I cleared the cache again and rebooted, checked in IE, and firefox and the topic under categories appears truncated.
It only happens in one line- on the top but it is also contains the most characters in the title.

Any thoughts about this greatly appreciated,
thanks very,very much for the help

That has to be happening in the category or whatever template it is happening in. Post that template where it is happening....help.tpl or special.tpl perhaps?

[fotodog13]

I believe this should be the template.

[balinor]

Try customer/categories.tpl, I think the include for fancy categories is in there by default.

[balinor]

Sorry Scott, no clue on this one...must have something to do with fancy categories, but as I don't use that module, I can't tell you exactly where the truncation is happening.

[fotodog13]

ok, thanks for all the other help.

Personally I ma not crazy about hte look of these and might just do something else cleaner, its a client thing.
will talk to you more later
best
