Hi...
If you want to build subcategories under the categories automatically, I made a MOD that you can use. Just follow these instructions, they are easy!
In
sub site_html_print_cat find the line:
Code:
$output .= qq~<dd><span class="descript">$description</span></dd>~ if (!($description =~ /^[\s\n]*$/));
and replace it with:
Code:
if ($#{$subcategories{$subcat}} >= 0 && $description =~ /^SUB.*/) {
$v = 0;
$output .= qq~<$font_small>~;
foreach $subcatsub (sort @{$subcategories{$subcat}}) {
$suburl = "$build_root_url/" . &urlencode($subcatsub) . "/";
if ($subcatsub =~ m,.*/([^/]+)$,) { $subcategory_name = &build_clean($1); } else { $subcategory_name = &build_clean($subcatsub); }
$output .= qq~<br>~ if ($description =~ /2$/ | | $v eq "0"); # CHANGE "| |" (NO SPACE)!!!
$output .= qq~&[nbsp];&[nbsp];~ if ($description =~ /2$/); # REMOVE "["s and "]" FROM THIS LINE!!!
$output .= qq~<a href="$suburl">$subcategory_name</a>~;
$output .= qq~, ~ if ($description =~ /1$/ && $v ne $#{$subcategories{$subcat}});
$v++;
}
$output .= qq~</font>~;
}
else {
$output .= qq~<dd><span class="descript">$description</span></dd>~ if (!($description =~ /^[\s\n]*$/));
}
AND
ON THE LINE WITH &[nbsp];&[nbsp]; change it so it doesn't have the "["s or the "]"s. The message board took them out. !!! There are 2 styles that this will make.
If you want the style that looks like this:
Category
Subcategory1, Subcategory2, Subcategory3
Go to the category, you want to use, and edit it's description to: SUB1
OR
If you want the style that looks like this:
Category
Subcategory1
Subcategory2
Subcategory3
Go to the category, you want to use, and edit it's description to: SUB2
Then build the pages!
It lists all the subcategories, so you may not like it but I made it the way I wanted it, so I don't plan on changing it to limit only a certain number of letters or something.
Also, if you use the second style, it wouldn't look good if you had ALOT of subcategories in one category and not in another, cause one end will be longer than the other.
HOPE THAT HELPS!
