BG color only in categorie box

[kjelle11]

Hi,

Does any one out there now how to change background color ONLY in the categorie box.

Iknow how to do it in styles but when i change there it changes all the boxes.

warm regards kjelle

all boxes use the same class, so just create a new one and use that in the catergory box

Thx Arpit for your answer,

sounds so easy but where do i change the class for the categorie box.

i tried to change this tag in the categories.php in boxes folder.

new infoBoxHeading($info_box_contents, true, false);

i changed the infoBoxHeading to a new one i had made in the styles but did not work.

If you can help me with this you are a star, i have tried for days but no luck.

warm regards kjell

add

class infoBoxCat extends tableBox 
  {
    	function infoBoxCat($contents) 
		{
	      $info_box_contents = array();
    	  $info_box_contents[] = array('text' => $this->infoBoxContentsCat($contents));
	      $this->table_cellpadding = '1';
    	  $this->table_parameters = 'class="infoBox"';
	      $this->tableBox($info_box_contents, true);
    	}

		function infoBoxContentsCat($contents) 
		{
    	  $this->table_cellpadding = '3';
	      $this->table_parameters = 'class="kjell"';
    	  $info_box_contents = array();
	      $info_box_contents[] = array(array('text' => tep_draw_separator('pixel_trans.gif', '100%', '1')));
    	  for ($i=0, $n=sizeof($contents); $i<$n; $i++) 
		  {
	        $info_box_contents[] = array(array('align' => (isset($contents[$i]['align']) ? $contents[$i]['align'] : ''),
                                           'form' => (isset($contents[$i]['form']) ? $contents[$i]['form'] : ''),
                                           'params' => 'class="boxText"',
                                           'text' => (isset($contents[$i]['text']) ? $contents[$i]['text'] : '')));
    	  }
	      $info_box_contents[] = array(array('text' => tep_draw_separator('pixel_trans.gif', '100%', '1')));
    	  return $this->tableBox($info_box_contents);
   	 	}
  }

hope you have made backups and now upload the files, you show be all set [/code]

and remember, these changes to the core code will inhibit you from going to new releases in the future

Hello Arpit,

I am sorry but i wonder if you can help me again, i think i am going crazy i cant understand the styles.

here you can see the site is not ready but soon.. http://www.surfthemambo.com/surf-shop/

i just wonder where i can find the borders on the specials and new products boxes on the front page.
i actully want to remove the border and the heading on this boxes.

but i can't find it anywhere, i have looked at every table and css style but nothing.

warm regards kjell

Ps. maybe somebody else know about this also

[Arpit]

comment out the line,

new infoBoxHeading($info_box_contents, true, false);

for the boxes you want to remove the heading, and for the border, its in the classes/boxes.php

function infoBoxCat($contents)
{
$info_box_contents = array();
$info_box_contents[] = array('text' => $this->infoBoxContentsCat($contents));
$this->table_cellpadding = '1';
$this->table_parameters = 'class="infoBox"';
$this->tableBox($info_box_contents, true);
}

where it says class="infoBox", you want to change that class to have no borders

warm regards Kimberley
