Post Editing the Size of Links on the Left-hand menu 
Hi,

Is there a way to edit the size of the links to the different categories that appear on the left side of the cart? Right now, they're really small and hard to read. Also, is there a way to change the color the links to categories show on the index.html page show up as without changing the colors of all the links on the page? I've edited the background to be dark, so blue links don't show, but the left bar is a light grey, and light links don't show up too well there.

Thanks!

JMRC

JMRC,
This is a good place to employ the use of CSS...
To edit the size and color of the links in the left nav bar, you will need to edit the store_header.inc file in the 'html/html-templates' directory.
To use CSS, follow the info given in the following threads:

Hi I have tried to edit the font color for catagories as described, simply changing the color makes the product page jump to the bottom of the page and in general throws the whole page out of wack!

below is the code to that point

<!--BEGIN HEADER TABLE-->
<table WIDTH=765 HEIGHT=28 BGCOLOR="#000000" BORDER=0 CELLPADDING=0 CELLSPACING=0>
<tr>
<td HEIGHT=40 ALIGN=CENTER>
<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="4" color="#ffffff"><b>Online Pro Shop</b><br></font>
<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2" color="#ffffff"><i>Thanks for visiting our store!</i></font>
</td><td HEIGHT=40 ALIGN=right><font face="Verdana, Arial" color="#ffffff" size=2>
<form METHOD="POST" ACTION="agora.cgi">
<input TYPE="hidden" NAME="cart_id" VALUE="%%cart_id%%">
<input TYPE="text" NAME="keywords" SIZE=20 MAXLENGTH=40>
<input TYPE="hidden" NAME="ppinc" VALUE="search">
<input TYPE="hidden" NAME="exact_match" VALUE="on">
<input TYPE="submit" NAME="search_request_button" VALUE=" Search "></form></font>
</td></tr></TABLE>
<TABLE WIDTH=765 BORDER=0 CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 align=top>
<TR><TD WIDTH=145 valign=top background="agora.cgi?secpicserve=blank.gif" bgcolor="#000000" height=100%><img src="agora.cgi?secpicserve=blank.gif" width="145" height="1" border="0"><br><br>
<b><font face="verdana,arial" color="#ffffff" size=-1><CENTER>Categories:</CENTER></font>
<font face="verdana,arial" color="white" size=-1>
<!--agorascript-pre {
local(%db_ele,$sku,$category,%category_list);
if (!($sc_db_lib_was_loaded =~ /yes/i))
{ &require_supporting_libraries (__FILE__, __LINE__, "$sc_db_lib_path"); }
&capture_STDOUT;
&get_prod_db_element($db{"product"},*db_ele);
foreach $sku (keys %db_ele) {
$category = $db_ele{$sku};
$category_list{$category}++;
}
foreach $category (sort(keys %category_list)) {
$category2 = $category;
$category2 =~ s/_/ /ig;
print "&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=\"agora.cgi?cart_id=%%cart_id%%&product=",
"$category\">$category2</a><br>\n";
}
&uncapture_STDOUT; }
--></font></b>

I am not seeing a problem in the store... Did you restore the original file?
What are you using to edit the file with?
The editor may be automatically closing tags that shouldn't be closed...

hTH!

YES I did restore the old file ......I am just trying to change the color of the categories link text. I have had sucess changing the index page but not the pages when you select a category. I found another post that used :

<BODY text=#000000 Link=#FFFFFF vlink=#666666 BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF">

this works on the index.htm but need to control all pages in the store.

thanks

You will want to use CSS to control the link colors. Inline style works fine for that.

You can use something like this:
Code:

$category2 =~ s/_/ /ig;
  print "&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=\"agora.cgi?cart_id=%%cart_id%%&product=",
    "$category\" style=\"color:white\">$category2</a><br>\n";


Make sure that your html editor is set to NOT auto-close tags.....

HTH!
