Hi ! every body,
I need help in eshop.com.
When I browse a category in virtuemart, I have something above the products called (list categories) (see image). I found what it was, but I really do not know what it is for and how to suppress it (what is the purpose of this ?)

I found that there is something to deal with PHPSHOP_CATEGORY_LIST_MNU.
And found it in the file /components/com_virtuemart/themes/default/templates/browse/includes/browse_header_category.tpl.php
I have the latest version (february, 2009).

here is the code :
Code: Select all
<?php if( !defined( '_VALID_MOS' ) && !defined( '_JEXEC' ) ) die( 'Direct Access to '.basename(__FILE__).' is not allowed.' );
mm_showMyFileName(__FILE__);?>
 <div class="recenlts" >
<h3><?php echo $VM_LANG->_('PHPSHOP_CATEGORY_LIST_MNU') ?></h3>
   <?php echo $navigation_childlist; ?>
</div>
<?php if( trim(str_replace( "<br />", "" , $desc)) != "" ) { ?>

      <div style="width:100%;float:left;">
         <?php echo $desc; ?>
      </div>
      
      <?php
     }
?>
<div id="nagl">
      <h3><?php echo $browsepage_lbl; ?>
      </h3>
     
</div>



it is not well aligned !!

I need to know what it is for and in order to know if I need to keep it. If I keep it, I would like to align it (but how).
Other solution get rid of it. (but how).

Thanks for your help

I Found how to align it.
In
yoursite/templates/gk_eshop/css/browse_notables.css
Line 127
change
Code: Select all
.recenlts {
margin-top:10px;
}

to
Code: Select all
.recenlts {
margin-top:0px;
}


If you want to get rid of the whole title in the same file go to line 117,
Get rid of

Code: Select all
.feature, .recenlts {
-moz-background-clip:border;
-moz-background-inline-policy:continuous;
-moz-background-origin:padding;
background:transparent url(../images/prod_bg.png) repeat-x scroll 0 100%;
clear:both;
margin-bottom:2px;
padding:10px;
}

should certainly work, but not sure. I haven't tried it.
Just tell me if it works.

To be more specific on the class, use this:

Code: Select all
#vmMainPage .recenlts {margin-top:0}


Anyway, your change works well, but with this way you are setting class only for VM.

Also, it's never a good idea to erase code on core files. Instead, i recommend that you use css:

Code: Select all
#vmMainPage .recenlts {display:none}

You are right Seichinha. Your solution is much better because in case virtuemart is updated.
I am really not a pro and need help. I try things and try to learn.

Where do you write the code ? which CSS ?

Hi fellas, i have a question related to the issue you are discussing here.

I dont want to remove this #vmMainPage .recenlts function, quite the opposite actually, i want to multiply it.

Simply said, i have changed the image path and made my own "banner" instead of the "list categories" banner.
So i have my own custom sized headline image in the same position. However, i want to make it so that each category(which all use browse_notables.css) has its own banner. Meaning, if the path to the current "list categories" banner in the brows_notable.css is mystore/images/vm/....png, i want each of my menu categories to link to their own image, image1.png, image2.png. I know this requires some customization, but im just wondering if any of you guys know of a simple way to do this. Maybe duplicate the codes in the browse_notables.css and specify which one to use in the menu items? i dont know..
