Tabbed Categories

[Shorty]

XaviEo & Lainey as for the line break.

Find this part of the Home template:


<table width="100%" style="margin-bottom: 1px;" class="tabbedcategories">

<tr>

{foreach $[category]}<td {if $[category.name] != "General"}class="tabbedtd" {else} class="tabbedtdactive"{/if} id="tdid"><a href="javascript:void(0)" class="$[category.id]" style="text-decoration:none;" onclick="showCat(this.className)"><div width="100%" height="100%"><h2><font size="3">$[category.name]</font></h2></div></a></td>{if $[category.id] == 5}</tr><tr>{/if}{/foreach}

</tr>

</table>

And add the red. Change the number to whatever the category id is of the tab that you what it to break after.

Hope that makes sense.

Thanks for the tip but I cant seem to get it to work I even tried using the name instead of a number and I have no ideas how to get ids in v5

[Shorty]

Pretty much, go into a board, and then in the nav tree, click the name of the category, and in the address bar, at the end you'll #category-some number, the number is the category id.

To give you an example Lainey, try looking at the url to the board.
For example GT here is http://support.proboards.com/board/33/general-talk - the board id in this case is 33



ed; sorry shorty, beat me to it - took too long to read the thread after opening. =P

Done, but you should be able to do it yourself - in the Gear dropdown you should get the option to delete your own. =]

[Shorty]

I know I can, it's just hard when using my phone. And thanks!!!

[Lainey]

Thanks for all that I got it to work. Im still curious tho as to how do we know if the catagories have new posts

[Shorty]

Im sorry but, you don't know.

[Lainey]

thanks for the response Shorty, Maybe it is something that can be figured out to add to it in the future ?

Hey Shorty, great code, thank you so much for it! It doesn't seem to work with the Dynamically Tabbed Table, though, at least for me (example). The table will show for the default/first category tab, then disappear once you click on one of the other categories. How would you fix this?

[Shorty]

I see it working perfectly fine.

[Relic]

Huh. It's still doing it for me lol. Do you think it might be because I'm using Chrome?

[Shorty]

I'm using chrome as well.

[Lainey]

Shorty & Todge Is there any way you can see to make an indication somehow that a cat has a new post..
