How to create subheadings in catergories side bar

[Yasir Ahmad]

Can anybody tell me how can I make further subheadings inside categories sidebar?
like
Categories
Type 1
item 1
item 2
.......

Type 2
item 1
item 2
.......

As of now this unfortunatly not possible as the template tag just lists all categories.

What you would need to do is copy wrapper.html into your skins child folder. Then open it.
Find and delete

<h3 class="heading">{$lng->a_skins_categories}</h3>
{$category_menu}

Then instead of the above you would need to manually add your categories into your template

<h3 class="heading">Category SET 1</h3>
<ul class="category_menu">
    <li><a href="paste your category url here">Category name</a></li>
    <li><a href="paste your category url here">Category name</a></li>
</ul>

This way you can repeat the above and sort your categories how you like

Yep that could work - but why subheadings ?

 

[Basti]

Could be useful taking for example game sites. Sort them by genre, shooter...mmorpg etc

Thank you basti!!!! perhaps i think this could be a feature for visiolist 1.0

Not sure there is a good way to handle/automate this, but will have a look into it while we redo category management

Subcategories would be the only way to handle this with automation, I personally am not a fan of sub categories and prefer a "free tagging" solution but we'll see.

<h3 class="heading">Category SET 1</h3>
<ul class="category_menu">
<li><a href="paste your category url here">Category name</a></li>
<li><a href="paste your category url here">Category name</a></li>
</ul>

I used above code for myself to create Subcategories for my new website
