I translated this Contribution into German. Is a full package

Processed a language fix for the dropdown menu name. So now you can change the title in includes/languages/yourlanguage.php

Also included a SPECIALS link above the NEW PRODUCTS link in the menu!

Fixed the category dropdown box created by Joma Webdesign so that long category names won't make the left navigation column stretch to be wider than it should. A simple width style definition added to the drop down box creation fixed the problem. The attached file contains the fixed catagories.php file as well as the two pointer images required and a correction to the instructions with the correct definition name for the language file.

This is a replacement file for categories enhance

changes are
- link clickable again (i dont know why it was made not clickable..silly)
- Link to Newest Products (products_new.php)
- Category Go To drop down menu

it is alot easier to navigate this way.
If u dont like it, dont download it.

a small update with improvements to the more universal applicableness. [if (in_array("/index.php", $sitepath)] replaced through [if (in_array(DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG . FILENAME_DEFAULT, $sitepath)]. Thus it would have to run under all possible configurations.

Have fun with it!

Actual link now no longer clickable.
If you go to product_info.php, the category is now again linked.
only the edited categories.php

a small fix for clean HTML.
Sorry, i have it forgotten in the last file.

Actual link now no longer clickable.
Only the edited categories.php.

If you're using version 1.1 of my contribution, please download this small fix (it's just a short instruction as a text file).

When a shop had caching enabled, the category highlighting didn't work. With this fix it will.

Note that this is NOT a full verion of my contribution. If you want to install 'Category Box Enhancement', download version 1.1 below, download this fix, and install both.

If you're using version 1.0, you don't need this. But I'd suggest upgrading (and then fixing) anyway.

Special version! Only use if you already have the "Basic Template Structure v1.0a" installed on "osC 2.2 MS2". I only made some small changes to make it work with the BTS.

So if you don't use BTS, please use the original very nice and easy to install CBE contribution by Nils Petersson!

An updated version of Category Box Enhancement. I recommend using this version 1.1. As all files were changed, this download is a full version, use this for both upgrading and when installing for the first time.


What's new:

- Arrows/bullets are now clickable

- Colored highlighting of current category will now work if a product is not selected via categories, but via 'specials', 'What's new', 'Bestsellers' etc.

- Slightly changed arrow images

- Added readme file in German

This contribution is supposed to improve the look and feel of the categories box, improve navigation and help users to keep their bearings on the site.

1. It will add a small image ('bullet') to the left of every category in the category box. There are two different images, one for categories that have subcategories, one for those that don't.

2. It will get rid of the funny-looking ASCII-arrow ( -> ) that used to indicate categories containing subcategories.

3. It will highlight the current category in the box. Users will have an easier time telling where they are on the site.

Here's a screenshot of what the box will look like in an otherise standard 2.2 MS2 installation:
