How do you class out the category links

[phil2564]

:?: I am having a problem classing out the category links and sub category links. Do you do it on the main.css ? If so which ones are the category and sub categories. Do you work the classing like usual classing. Any example code would be helpful.

Thanks

Hello Phil, glad you're coming to ask this question.

Best way to learn would be to look at your directory, take a Category and copy the name. View the source, find it and see what it's wrapped with. And do the same for the Sub Cats.

I can give you the solution, but if I do that doesn't actually teach you anything.

"Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime"

Know what I mean? Get stumped, IM me and we'll talk.

Actually I am quite good with classing but what I did and I don't know if you are going to say I did it wrong or not. But this is what I did.
For the Categories.
I went to templates main.tpl and changed this line.

<h2><a href="{if $smarty.const.ENABLE_REWRITE}{$cat.TITLE_URL}/{else}index.php?c={$cat.ID}{/if}" >

TO THIS

<a href="{if $smarty.const.ENABLE_REWRITE}{$cat.TITLE_URL}/{else}index.php?c={$cat.ID}{/if}" class="cathead">

I made a class called "cathead"

Then I went to the Main directory and opened the main.css and added in

a.cathead:link {
font-family: sans-serif;font-size: small;color: #333333;text-decoration: none;}


Then loaded them back up and it working.
Was that the way you would have done it?

Hi,

I think you could edit the H2 part in main.css to get the same result.

Hi Phil, really in the end if it works then who cares how I'd do it ;)

Best of luck always :)
