Hi,
can anyone help me find the file that controls just the category sidebox? i need to change only the background for the category box (my site is: http://www.digiland.ro - category box on the left) but i can't do that using css because that will affect all the other boxes background as well!
thanks in advance!

Its not the easiest thing in the world to change only the CATEGORY background, but it can be done.
First you should be using the my_changes plugin. (refer to CS-Cart Documentation — CS-Cart 4.15.x documentation).
Once you have the my_changes css setup this is how I would suggest you do it.
- Admin > Design > Template Editor. Create a custom wrapper by creating a file in yourskin/customer/block/wrappers/.
- Open and copy the source code for sidebox_general.tpl,
- Create a new file called sidebox_category_wrapper.tpl, and change the wrapper class to sidebox_category_wrapper.
- Go to Admin > Design > Blocks > All Pages. Select edit link under Categories and change
the wrapper to the newly created wrapper sidebox_category_wrapper.tpl.
- Admin > Design > Template Editor. Create custom class for .sidebox_category_wrapper in my_changes/styles.css.
Hope that helps you. If you have any questions let me know.
Thanks! i will go ahead an try it and come back with the results! thanks again solesurvivor
