greetings all -
i would like to make the category/sub-cat listings appear as a single line listing [mouseover selectable] based on the category/subcategory hierarchial structure set up in the edit category settings of the control panel
example:
[cat folder icon] 10 jun 03 {subcat 3} name ...
[cat folder icon] 01 jun 03 {subcat 23} name ...
[cat folder icon] 30 may 03 {subcat 5} name ..
etc ...
==> {hidden cat id}
and if the lines exceed the boundries of the box - then an elevator window is created
also - is it possible to display a random image for each category line based on the hierarchial structure for each of the cat/sub items instead of the generic random image display in row/column order
example: (in the random image table)
[ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ]
[ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ]
[ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ]
[ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ]
(5 columns fixed, brackets indicating a cat/sub cat thumbnail image (with mouseover) based on the hierarchial structure of the Database.
to complicate this - if the main cat is used as a placeholder for the sub cats within it, the placeholder is ignored ...
etc .. with a scroll window when it exceed the users image setting
examples from another site are shown below:
all help is appreciated
thanx
bruce
