Can you add a section for users to "Show Off their site |
|
This can help others see some of the changes some people are making to their sites that may be just what another person is looking for and they can ask how those things were done. I have just started to make changes to my site and have relocated the categories to the left and rounded the featured listing bar to name a few. but I plan on making a few more changes and with time willing I can help others. see my site here: http://www.AuctionAutoParts.com |

Hi ChillWill
Yes, great site
I did notice that on some of your pages your top navigation bar is showing up twice.
I have a question:
Is it possible to change the categories main folder gif to different ones for different categories? Example: Music icon instead of the standard folder for the category Music.
Sincerely, Kit |

From the Auction Help->Category Options:
Use Unique Homepage Category Folders
If you set the option "Use Category Folder" to "YES" then you can choose the Home Page categories folder mode. There are two modes to display the graphic for the main or root categories.
The first mode is to display the same graphic for each category, in this case set this option to "NO". The second mode is to display a unique graphic or image for each main category. If you choose this by setting this option to "YES" then you must put the graphic files in the directory "images" which is located in the auction directory under the html directory on your server.
You must name the graphic files by the categories ID's number and the extension ".gif". For example if the main category "Computers" its ID number is "10" then you must upload a graphic file named "10.gif" to the images directory and so on for all main categories.
The categories ID's can be found from the category manager and then click on "Edit" or by just moving the mouse over the category and watching the status line in the status bar where it says "Cat_ID=10" or else. Also the class <!--Category_Folder--> must be inserted in the "Category Form" where you want the graphic to be displayed. |

Hi again.
I went into my control panel it is not set up with the options you have said to change. I do not have the option "Use Unique Homepage Categories Folder" option.
I just purchased my auction program in the end of August. Did I miss an upgrade already??
Thanks again Ahmed, Kit |

Hi.
I understand where you are telling me the option is to "Use Unique Homepage Category Folders" is. But I do NOT have that option in MY admin Category Options.
I went into my control panel, under "System Setup" there is "Category Options". But when I open that MINE IS DIFFERENT than what the demo is showing.
Do I need to upgrade? And if I do, what exact file do I need to upgrade? How do I get it?
Thanks again Amhed. Kit |

You may need to update all your .cgi and .pm files |

Okay. I have the most current auction program!
There is NO option to use UNIQUE CATEGORY FOLDER ICONS anywhere!
I have searched everywhere. I HAVE THE AUCTION PROGRAM NOT THE CLASSIFIEDS PROGRAM.
I noticed that your classifieds program demo has different icons.
Would you PLEASE tell me how to change the category icons without giving me a stinkin' hyper link to instructions that do not match my admin control panel!!!!!!!!
:x Kit
P.S. YOUR HELP SECTION DOES HAVE THE "USE UNIQUE HOMEPAGE CATEGORIES FOLDER" OPTION THAT IS NOT IN THE DEMO SITE ADMIN CONTROL PANEL OR IN MY ADMIN CONTROL PANEL. |
