Get the blue dotted line under menu item

General General Questions
1

Hi, I changed my categories menu to Plain (style) because it shows my subcategories. But it shows a blue dotted line between the category & it’s submenus, & there isn’t one between the subcatefories & the next menu item. Can I move it to below the sub categories? I use the default_magenta skin.



I also had this problem when trying to add the gif cert to the menu. I never got it to work.

In your styles sheet around line 1716 you shoud have something like:


ul.menu-root-categories li.delim {
background:transparent url(images/categories_delim.gif) repeat-x scroll left center;
}



You could probably either remove the background image or just replace it with an empty image the same size.



I removed this myself, but I think I removed the list item from the template, I just can’t remember where I removed it from.

Will that remove it alltogether, from each menu item?

OK Brennie…I had an hour to kill and I chose your request.

(so you don’t think you’re being ignored :wink:







If THIS is what you are after you need to do these steps…



[COLOR=“Red”]BACK UP YOUR ORIGINALS AND SAVE THEM FIRST![/COLOR]



First copy and paste these two elements to your styles.css


/* Adding Lines to Sub Category */

.delim2-sub-menu {
background:transparent url(images/categories_delim.gif) repeat-x scroll left center;
margin:0px 10px 0px 2px;
}

ul.menu-subcategories-2 li {
background-color: #ffffff
height:1%;
line-height:8px;
padding:0px 0px 0px 13px;
}



Then Open /YOUR SKIN/customer/categories_pages/categories_tree.tpl



ADD the line of code in blue EXACTLY where it is

ALTER the line of code in red


{* $Id: categories_tree.tpl 3700 2007-08-21 06:28:14Z zeke $ *}

{foreach from=$categories item=category key=cat_key name='categories'}
{if $category.level == "0"}
{if $ul_subcategories == 'started'}

{assign var='ul_subcategories' value=''}
{/if}


{else}
{if $ul_subcategories != 'started'}
[COLOR="Red"]
{/if}
{/foreach}



These are from 1.3.5 sp1 (beta) but the page should be similiar.



I do not know if this will affect any other lists, but since we made 2 new classes it shouldn’t

Maybe we can change the color from blue to brown later



Disregard for now…I have to go

LOL:oops:

I’ve thought about changing it. :slight_smile: Isn’t it an image? So I’d need to create a new image for it, right?

yes, …but…it is a transparent .gif

not hard to do, i just don’t have the proper program on my office computer.

I just got around to trying your suggestion Mike & it didn’t work. Well it DID add the blue dotted line but it also added jagged bullets next to the submenu items.
